While not the final track on the album "Lila" is the last track written for my upcoming instrumental concept album release: "There's A World". "Lila" is a rocker (and possibly my favorite)on the entire album. This track is flat out good:)It's a rocker culminating in one of my signature coda endings. There's also a psychedelic nod to the master himself, Jimi Hendrix, with some one off guitar runs interspersed. That being said, "Lila" is not about a girl. In the ancient Hindu Vedas, "Lila" is the play . . . the stage; and we're all playing a role!
"You've Arrived" is the final/closing track on my upcoming instrumental concept album release: "There's A World". This one is upbeat, but does have some subtle time signature changes, where it slows down a bit. I love the middle break and the coda at the end, as well! "You've Arrived" is the answer to what all of the album's other songs have been alluding to. Where will you arrive? Only you can answer that:)
"Dream In a Dream" will be part of my upcoming instrumental album, "There's a World". The title and what it's alluding to was actually inspired by one of my favorite songs by Queensryche: "Silent Lucidity". The notion being that all that we hear, see and experience 'here' on earth is nothing more than an illusion. We're in a dream right now:)
"Beyond Simulation" is the short opening track of my upcoming instrumental concept album release, "There's a World". The song's notion was inspired by a book I read entitled "The Simulation Hypothesis" by Rizwan Virk. However, just because this introductory song is short, doesn't mean that you're not going on a mind warping trip . . . especially, if you have headphones on.
"Maya (IAI)" is the newest track on my upcoming instrumental concept album release, "There's a World". In case you're wondering, IAI alludes to "It's an Illusion". As far as the track is concerned, this one is far simpler than many of the tracks on this album . . . a little stripped back, if you will. It still has the vibe I'm looking for regarding this upcoming album, but the song dictated a more laid back approach. Hope you enjoy it!
"Pixels and Particles" is the newest track, which will be released as part of my "There's a World" instrumental concept album. It's an ambitious track with time signature changes, key changes and some cosmic effects. It's certainly a trip. Hope you enjoy it!
Lord have mercy, where do I start with this one? While it's another track on my upcoming concept instrumental album, "There's a World", this track pushed me to my limits (in more ways than one). "Everything Will Be Fine" is a labor of love. It has gone through so many transitions and variations; it took me forever to get the sound I was looking for (and I'm still not sure I quite found it, but to avoid insanity, I'm happy with this mix). From a chord structure standpoint, I think it's beautiful; but then again, I'm biased, since I wrote it:) Hope you like it!
"Somewhere" is the third track release for my 8th upcoming instrumental album, "There's a World." This track will actually be the first song upon the album's release (i.e. remember this is a concept album, and the titles tell a story!)"Somewhere" is a rocking track with an uptempo beat and rocking backbeat. "Somewhere" truly entices you to take this musical journey with me. Hope you enjoy it!
"Underneath the Storm" is the second track release for my 8th upcoming instrumental album, "There's a World." This is a really laid back track, with an interesting drum tempo as its foundation. I truly am proud of the chord progression, especially in the verse structures. Hope you enjoy it!
"There's a World" is the title track of my upcoming release. This will be my 8th release and this one truly epic in musical scale. "There's a World" gives a sense of the musical direction I'm currently on. Lots of instruments (but it always starts with the guitar); lots of layers and some memorable hooks. The piano within this track is probably my favorite element. I hope you like it!
This is the remix of an early demo, "Passing Hours". As with this, along with "Astral Plane" were two of my favorite early demos, I stayed true to the song's structure, etc.; I simply gave it some more depth to freshen it up. I really like this short, yet beautiful track. This track will be included on my upcoming release "Back to One". This release has been fun making. While the intro is completely different, essentially, I'm taking my earliest recordings and giving them a fresh coat of paint. The release will include both the original demo as well as the remix version. Hope you like it!
This is the remix/remaster of an early demo, "Rebirth". I remained fairly faithful to the demo in terms of beat and chord structure. However, it is far crisper, along with far more depth. I actually kind of free-styled a bluesy, wah-wah, crunch guitar riff in the background that is kinda' cool. I had fun with it. Still a simple song, just better than the demo, in my opinion. This track will be included on my upcoming release "Back to One". This release has been fun making. While the intro is completely different, essentially, I'm taking my earliest recordings and giving them a fresh coat of paint. The release will include both the original demo as well as the remix version. Hope you like it!
This is the remix/remaster of an early demo, "Neverland". However, this remix is unique in its own right; especially the guitar tracks, which truly are a trip. This track will be included on my upcoming release "Back to One". This release has been fun making. While the intro is completely different, essentially, I'm taking my earliest recordings and giving them a fresh coat of paint. The release will include both the original demo as well as the remix version. Hope you like it!
This is the remix/remaster of an early demo, "Cascade". That being said, as with most of these remix tracks, it's enhanced and extended quite a bit. In fact, this one definitely has more of a kick to it. Similar chord structure, but fleshed out greatly. This track will be included on my upcoming release "Back to One". This release has been fun making. While the intro is completely different, essentially, I'm taking my earliest recordings and giving them a fresh coat of paint. The release will include both the original demo as well as the remix version. Hope you like it!
This is the remix/remaster (whatever you want to call it) of probably my favorite early demo, "Astral Plane". This one stays fairly honest to the early demo, but has some heft added. Honestly, I love this song, but I'm partial. It's simply pretty damn good:) This track will be included on my upcoming release "Back to One". This release has been fun making. While the intro is completely different, essentially, I'm taking my earliest recordings and giving them a fresh coat of paint. The release will include both the original demo as well as the remix version. Hope you like it!
This is the remix of an early demo, "Depth". This track stays somewhat faithful to the original, but has far better production value, along with some additional musical flavor. This track will be included on my upcoming release "Back to One". This release has been fun making. While the intro is completely different, essentially, I'm taking my earliest recordings and giving them a fresh coat of paint. The release will include both the original demo as well as the remix version. Hope you like it!
This is the remix of an early demo, "Celestial". This reimagining is quite different, however. In my opinion, it has a greater ethereal feel to it. Obviously, this stemmed from the track's title. I wanted it to feel that the listener was traveling through the heavens. This track will be included on my upcoming release "Back to One". This release has been fun making. While the intro is completely different, essentially, I'm taking my earliest recordings and giving them a fresh coat of paint. The release will include both the original demo as well as the remix version. Hope you like it!
