about

This is a collection of instrumental music commissioned for a wide variety of projects from 2012-2013. This music was originally intended for web series, documentary, animation, and live dance performance, with a couple personal ambient pieces thrown into the mix.

There is a generic feel to some of the music as it had to appeal to a general audience and not distract from the content that was scored. The plastic feel to some of the sounds is mostly circumstance. I couldn't afford a studio after I moved out of a house that I loved because it had a horror basement to record in, so a lot of the sounds are samples of drums and synthesizers, with guitars being plugged directly into interfaces as to avoid banging on the walls from neighbours.

That being said I think some of it is still quite enjoyable as an ambient walk-about piece.

My favourite piece is probably "Instrumentals Pt. I" 3:13-8:30. An instrumental piece recorded above a boot store using a much hated on Roland SH32 synth and Ableton. I like it because I think it's pretty and reflects my overwhelmed state of mind at the time but it also sounds like a money Jackhammer or some sort of coin game you would play on your phone. I think it's a cool mix of being intimidated by life and coin sounds haha.
