Under A Sky The Color Of Day

Foreign Statues On Native Soil

Open Window To A Broken Sunset

With The Steady Aim Of A Corpse
Posted May 2nd, 2006
A song driven mainly by some synthetic drums, acoustic guitar and vinyl noise, with a speech by Yuri Levitan and some electric guitar and piano thrown in just for the hell of it. A very mellow and relaxing track. ( 3:23 )
Country Ashes In A City Urn
Posted April 20th, 2006
Another song I'm actually happy with. A tenser minor key piece, it's driven by some drum loops and piano and layered with a goodly amount of guitar, and should hopefully bring you some happiness. ( 5:06 )
The Suspicious Death Of Trust
Posted March 16th, 2006
A more metal song, after quite a long time between the last one. The production is better, if still a little sketchy, but regardless of imperfect recording values it still rocks something fierce. Well worth checking out. ( 6:46 )
Orphan Sons Of The Restless Revolt
Posted March 11th, 2006
A longer song with a surprising degree of coherency and purpose to it that is mainly marked by a complete lack of restraint in layering and texturing. It's quite good. ( 8:57 )
Homecoming For A Dead Hero
Posted February 19th, 2006
A very happy and poppy song driven by electronic drums and acoustic guitar with lots of twiddly bits here and there. A good song for a smile. ( 3:44 )
My Lovely Valentine
Posted February 14th, 2006
Perhaps my favorite non-serious song I've ever written. It's a short "cover" of fragments of a valentine's day song using robot voices and synthesizers. Surprisingly good actually. ( 1:43 )
The Apocalypse Never Happened
Posted February 6th, 2006
Another random piece of electronica I've had sitting around on my hard drive for a while and forgot to post. It's super happy and poppy. ( 5:48 )

Alive Enough To Die Deprived
Posted December 11th, 2005
A nice song rhythmically driven by a simple electronic drum loop, with kit drums thrown over that at points, and melodically driven by lots of guitar as well as assorted synths and samples. I'm happy with it. ( 6:53 )
A Day In The Life Of The Moonless Night
Posted November 19th, 2005
Yet a third consecutive mellow piece, this one being driven mainly by acoustic guitar and drums, with many secondary electric and sampled melodies, and also incorporating more space and openness than my previous tracks, which is mainly due to a recording of cars driving by on a rainy day. A pretty good song overall. ( 10:49 )
Half-Closed Eyes Of A Half-Dead Man
Posted November 10th, 2005
Another mellow piece striving to incorporate more sounds than just bass-heavy clean guitar, throwing in bits of electronica for percussion, clean and snarly guitar with varying amounts of distortion, piano and more acoustic guitar than most of my recent pieces. It's certainly worth a listen. ( 8:42 )
Damnation / Damned Nation
Posted October 3rd, 2005
A lengthier but thoroughly engaging song exploring my newfound love of density in layering as well as a desire to make earbleed-worthy parts. It's a dark and downbeat song driven by guitar and some electronica for the most part, with a few more unrestrained moments as well. Not a bad track, I'd say. ( 14:02 )
Something Said About An Endless Embrace
Posted September 16th, 2005
A shorter and quicker song that serves as both an expression of happiness and an experiment in more complex music. It's driven by energetic drums, a chordal baseline and lots of quick and possibly complex riffs. For those with a shorter attention span, this should work well. ( 2:58 )
Seven Words To Save A Wasted Life
Posted August 26th, 2005
A happier, poppier song driven by mellow percussion and a sometimes staggeringly dense amount of major-key melodic guitar layers. A fairly nice track, all things considered. ( 6:06 )
Rotten Stars In A Falling Sky
Posted July 31st, 2005
A more mellow track to offset the recent metal song. It's made of lots of spacey guitar parts and distorted, fuzzy drums, cycles through about five major parts and in general sounds pretty nice. ( 4:59 )
Money Won't Wipe The Blood Off Your Hands
Posted July 20th, 2005
A heavier metal track that rocks a fair bit. The production is characteristically imperfect, but the numerous different parts, interesting melodies and generally rocking edge to the song hopefully make up for that. ( 8:27 )
Catching Bullets With Open Arms
Posted June 16th, 2005
Another dark and moody song driven by two nice acoustic riffs and some drums that come in later. It's fairly dense as well, with lots of various melodies and layers going on, especially towards the end. Pretty nice overall. ( 6:40 )
Anything But The Loss Of Everything
Posted June 13th, 2005

Happy Birthday Morgan

A techno / rock cover of the traditional song done for my sister's 18th birthday. Fun to make, fun to listen to. ( 4:20 )
Mourning The Days The Morning Never Came
Posted April 15th, 2005
A guitar and drum driven longer piece that cycles through many moods, some slow and sad, some happy and chaotic. It's well worth the time it takes to listen, as it changes up frequently and logically enough to not seem extremely long. ( 13:18 )
Bloody Snow And A Broken Heart
Posted February 21st, 2005
A cool mellow track to offset the last one, with sampled piano, drums, cello and upright bass among other things. I'm fairly pleased with it. ( 5:11 )
Stolen Words From A Silent Song
Posted February 13th, 2005
A decent song, with some nice ambient and variably echoey guitar supported by steady and at times energetic drums with bits of piano and slide guitar thrown in for good measure. Incidentally, its end is one of my favorite conclusions. ( 7:58 )
The Dead Art Of Dying Alone
Posted February 8th, 2005
A nice, mellow and organic song driven by an echoey percussive sound. It's got lots of delayed and reverbed guitar, an assortment of other pleasant noise and a little rise in emotion at the end. Not a bad track at all. ( 5:32 )
(Oud)
Posted January 12th, 2005
Another piece played on the instrument that I'm slowly falling in love with as I actually learn how to play it. It's wandering, ambient and relaxing, consisting of an oud, a drone synth pad and some reverbed-out cymbals. ( 5:05 )
Ten Years, Twenty Deaths
Posted December 21st, 2004
A nice and heavy metal track with some extremely rocking riffs in it. The production's a bit sketchy, but other than that it's just fine. ( 7:07 )
The Song Is The Sacrifice
Posted December 21st, 2004
A mellow yet fairly purposeful acoustic song that I enjoy. It also contiains a small amount of slide guitar, which I am trying to not suck at. ( 5:10 )
A Ballet At The Edge Of The Abyss
Posted November 1st, 2004
A bit of a clumsy title, but a pretty good song. Nice and relaxing, and a little reminiscent of Until The Soldiers Are Servants. ( 9:40 )

A new version of the like-titled song, marked mainly by lots of shifting electric riffs and a march-like snare drum backing. ( 4:10 )

An interesting drum loop backed song that I quite like. Fairly dark and brooding, but with pockets of sunshine here and there. ( 6:58 )
Faith And Popcorn
Posted August 8th, 2004
Instrumental synth pop. Hell yes. ( 3:02 )
Until The Soldiers Are The Servants
Posted June 23rd, 2004
Another long song around ten minutes (a length I seem to favor), it's very relaxed and lush with a really nice tone on the guitar throughout. It's quite good, and fairly dynamic, making more use of variable reduction and addition of layers instead of a constant buildup, which is nice. ( 10:26 )
Fall Of The Vaudeville Villains
Posted May 9th, 2004
Boy, I tell you what. This is a fun song. Really catchy and dancey as well as very circus-like. A lighthearted romp through the land of odd pop. ( 5:37 )
Ancient Words And Aging Rhymes
Posted May 2nd, 2004
A cool rocking track that varies between major key almost power metal to minor key goodness. One of my favorite tracks, and definitely one of my most fun. ( 7:04 )

Posted March 25th, 2004
Drum loops, interesting tremolo drenched chords and weird noise galore. I like it. ( 9:29 )

Posted March 2nd, 2004
Electronica? Sweet Jesus! ( 8:12 )

A very pleasant and mellow song that features Morgan Webb-Yeates on cello. ( 10:23 )

A hyper mellow major-key song that I definitely like. Inspired by an oud, as all things are I'm sure. ( 5:23 )
A Spectacle Of The Failed And Fading
Posted January 15th, 2004
An organ part, some human sounding drum work, and shifting acoustic / clean electric bits capped off with a dirtier part at the end. It's quite a mellow, calm piece. ( 5:43 )
Candles Catch These Calmer Moments
Posted January 5th, 2004
More interesting echoey drum loops, some mellow acoustic work and a little bit of pseudo-metal. ( 6:46 )

A mellow acoustic song that pleases me. ( 4:33 )

A curious little song that is happy and light at the beginning, and very tense and dense towards the end. ( 4:21 )
Light From The Fires Of Hope
Posted December 13th, 2003
A nice long song that spends it's first two thirds or so in contemplative mellow acoustic land, and then jumps abruptly elsewhere. Enjoy. ( 10:33 )
All The Secrecy Of Celebration
Posted December 6th, 2003
A pleasant little song that has some curious analog synth bits in it. ( 3:38 )
Wars We Fought With Plowshares
Posted November 25th, 2003
It's a shorter song that is quiet and builds to a nice release at the end. ( 3:05 )
FC Bayern Stern Des Sudens
Posted November 8th, 2003
A cover of the like-titled song by Willy Astor. The original is great and catchy, and also has lyrics. Mine does not. Instead, it's a techno-esque bit that's quite good. ( 6:09 )
The Sky Swarms With The Souls Of The Damned
Posted October 16th, 2003
I'm really quite happy with this track. In my opinion it is one of the best things I have ever composed, so hopefully you'll enjoy it. If you don't like slow stuff, it has a really rocking ending, incidentally. ( 7:13 )
The Fallen Sons Of Anger And Courage
Posted September 27th, 2003
Another track that turned out most delightfully. Stripped down instrumentation, a minor key, and lots of ebb and flow of tension. Enjoy. ( 5:08 )
Divinity In My Hands Wilts Like Dying Roses
Posted September 21st, 2003
I'm certainly pleased with this track. It's got a fair amount of purpose and direction, varied instrumentation (or at least sounds suggestive of varying instrumentation), and it features Ariel Klein playing the flute. Amusez-vous bien mes copains. ( 6:43 )
May Flowers Forever Trail In Your Wake
Posted August 19th, 2003
The very definition of a chill-out track. A very quickly built song that came out sounding lovely. Enjoy. ( 3:00 )
The Fading Days Of This Golden Age
Posted August 4th, 2003
A keen song. Techno, guitar, piano and trumpet that sound most pleasing. My sister Morgan is responsible for the trumpet playing. ( 5:18 )
An Argument For The Sake Of Anger
Posted August 3rd, 2003
A very pleasing song weaving guitar, piano, bass, keys and some orchestration. One of my favorites. ( 3:57 )
These Words Have Turned Sharp And Now Cut Our Tongues
Posted June 22nd, 2003
A very cool song with a hyper distorted drum loop backing it all, and some interesting minor guitar work underneath. All who have listened have liked, so maybe you shall as well. ( 4:15 )
Failed Revolutions Line The Walls Of This Palace
Posted June 22nd, 2003
An interesting song that has an ending which contains about as much joy as a truffle, which is a lot. It's uptempo acoustic with a pseudo-chord backed ending, if you care. ( 5:04 )
A Simple Faith In The Certainty Of Failure
Posted June 11th, 2003
A downtempo techno-like drum track, some airy piano and wee bits of other noise make this track sound like something vaguely nice. Have fun listening to this latest effort. ( 4:29 )
We Shall Stand Together Like Dusty Statues
Posted May 20th, 2003
My new favorite track. It's a repeating guitar line with improvised guitar over that, some piano chords, some improvised piano, and a cool snare-only drum backing that I made using a keyboard. I dearly hope you enjoy. ( 4:44 )
My Tears Fall As You Slowly Rise
Posted May 18th, 2003
It's long, it's minor and has a lot of nice layers. Not as driving as other songs, but it's very mellow and wonderfully relaxing and engaging. So says the biased creator at least. Anyway, enjoy to the fullest possible extent. ( 6:30 )
Gentle Hope, Why Do You Now Leave?
Posted May 4th, 2003
A song with a good amount of drive and purpose, written without a techno drum track. It's pretty dynamic, and changes pleasingly throughout. Perhaps you'll enjoy. ( 3:59 )
These Burning Ghosts Of Dispassion (With Drum Track)
Posted May 3rd, 2003
The same song as below, but with the drum track not removed, and thus included. I really like both versions, so I couldn't just post one. Enjoy. ( 3:25 )
Another Morning May Never Come So Bright
Posted April 27th, 2003
A charming song, with a great deal of seperate parts flitting in and out of an audible state. I find it to be quite nice, one of my current favorites actually. It's a little slow moving, but then again all my work could have that criticism leveled against it. I dedicate this track to darkness, to water and to willow trees. ( 4:44 )
Behold My Queen, Your Subject Revolts
Posted April 26th, 2003
It's a pretty song, and a further shedding of sentiment in a way that is remarkably emo-like. Anyway, it's a relatively intricate song, swimming with layers, and with the novel addition of a short spoken segment at the end. Welcome to the age of talkies. I hope my theatre training will withstand this new trend. ( 4:11 )
The Remnants Of Our Joyous Feast
Posted March 29th, 2003
An interesting track with a very large number of guitar parts going on, that surprisingly don't become horridly dissonant. The guitar at the end sounds like it's being played through a phone, which I like. ( 4:21 )
A River Not Of Tears But Of Sand
Posted March 23rd, 2003
I bought my slide, and I played around with it till I figured out how to use it, then wrote this track. May your ears amuse themselves. ( 3:16 )
Imperfect Uses Of Our Favorite Words
Posted March 23rd, 2003
I adore this track. Were it animate, I would become its devoted husband, caring for it forever. It's slower, building, and beautiful. ( 4:34 )
Pins Of Indecision, Pillows Of Delusion
Posted March 18th, 2003
A drum backed, fast moving track with some fun texturing from pick slides and feedback. Hopefully you'll enjoy it, as I certainly do. ( 4:10 )
Victory Lies Somewhere In This Landscape
Posted March 5th, 2003
A song I find so happy that I wonder from where I could have derived such contentment. ( 3:34 )
Beautiful Circles Beneath Your Eyes
Posted March 4th, 2003
A slow, lovely and enchanting song. Lots of textures that struggle to make themselves heard, to a good effect. I enjoy this track greatly. ( 3:52 )
Sing Me Your Tired Little Songs
Posted February 13th, 2003
A slow, reflective song, and beautiful to me at least. It contains a fun shift in tempo halfway through, as well, launching into a different theme. Perhaps my favorite song. ( 4:33 )
Pirouettes And Failures
Posted February 11th, 2003
A lightly distorted track that has a swell of energy and purpose behind it. ( 2:22 )
Small Parades For Lost Causes
Posted February 7th, 2003
A metallic song exploring the fun of picking between the nut and the tuning peg. ( 2:33 )
Wounded, Worried And Elated
Posted February 6th, 2003
A fragile, hollow and to a degree beautiful song with a lovely last 40 seconds. ( 2:31 )
