Since October 2015, I’ve been composing electronic music. I’ve gotten pretty good at it, and have released four albums. They can be purchased on my bandcamp. The last can also be purchased on itch.io.
All four of these albums can be streamed on this site, which is based on the wonderful scritch editor.
_prefigurations (2023), my fourth album, was composed in less than a month, as part of a daily song challange. (I stopped when the results burgeoned beyond album length — 1:01:10 was enough, I think).
Despite the speed of creation, it’s the work I’m most proud of, demonstrates the greatest variety, and some of the most memorable jams. Check it out first!
re.al.i.za.ti.on! (2023) was a triumphant return after years on hiatus. At nearly an hour of runtime (57:49), it was my then-longest album by quite a margin. It has personal significance — the titular realization is a mindset change that allowed me to start finishing full length tracks again. re.al.i.za.ti.on! further distinguishes itself by being my first forays into vocal work, with vocaloid on one track and my own voice on the finale.
demonstrations? (2020) was my second album, though it might better be thought of as an EP, being my shortest work (only 23:47). The songs are eclectic and short, with exactly one of them being longer than two minutes. It’s presented as a demo reel, but it was truly more of flag of surrender. I gave up on ever finishing these songs. The tracks are high energy and upbeat, but it’s hard not to feel a sense of missed potential haunting it.
experiments; (2019) my first album, created with the free DAW LMMS. These ten songs (34:33) represents the work of a year, shortly after I finally understood the basics of harmony and song structure. I’m still proud of it, and in some songs, I achieved things I still haven’t replicated. Normally that indicates a flawed experiment, but music is different.
For historical context, my first ever composition is still available online, on my old soundcloud. It holds up… surprisingly well? kinda?
Thank you for reading.
