Shiny electronic electronica. Already being extended into a 10 minute masterpiece as we speak...

Harmonious acoustic guitar riff launches into cheesy bombastics. Also to be extended...

Rearranging my least favourite soundtrack in the whole wide world EVER. These are practically note-perfect as far as I'm concerned, and the mere fact that I can rebuild it from scratch like that is proof of how absolutely terrible it is. The thought counts, though. Another four of these still to come ("Dark", "Sam's Theme", "Disaster" and "Commercial").
Film Noir - 22.4
The animated short this went behind didn't win a laptop, and it bloody well should have done.
Live Wire (Void) - 16.10, 27.10
Ambience goes a little bit computery gamey. Not a very original choice of harmony, but has its heart in the right place either way you look at it. Or listen to it. Whatever takes your fancy. The finished version also employs a "heart-racing linear pitch/speed shift that will have you on the edge of your seat", it says here.
Psichonico - 27.3
I don't pay attention to requests to just "write me some music" for this or that (unless it's [a] a charitable cause or [b] you're paying me in thick wads of notes). AND YET! Once upon a time, I decided to be charitable for no good reason whatsoever. Selflessness, I tell you! I had a spare measure going, anyway.
Only The Green Pen Works (incomplete) - 12.9, 27.10
A haphazard, bouncy little number with a relatively better drum arrangement than most of my output. Pretty much all of this is hand-played and 75-90% quantised. Synthesiser solo in the middle reminiscent of Johnny Harris's Odyssey.
Phosphoric Acid (incomplete) - 27.3
Name drawn from the back of a can of Cherry Coca Cola. This quirky guitar/panpipe/drum combo is dedicated to the memory of my teeth.
Some Relentless Speaking (incomplete) - 9.5
Hardcore chemical fromage.
Windowpane (incomplete) - 29.4
Newsflash: Opeth are fantastic! So much so, in fact, that we can't even bring ourselves to add a drum section to this.
