What's a "Song Sketch?"
Every now and then I sit down and just write a random idea. These are very rough and I don't intend to finish any of these ideas unless they're really good, but I figured it would be cool to share!
2020-02-28 17:53:52 +0000 UTC View PostYesterday, I streamed the 1st production session for the song you voted on and this is the result of that session.
I'm hoping to finish this song by the end of March and I'll be streaming the production session every week. Expect a post and a download here on the following Thursday every week!

Hey Everyone!
This week I've got 4 pieces of music to show you from the other project I've been working on the last month or so. It's music from an upcoming game project and it's more along the lines of Cinematic Soundscapes.
Each piece below is from one realm in the game world and the general feel of the music for the project overall is supposed to be ambient and dreamy, so the music (aside from the first piece I'm showing you), reflects that.

2020-02-08 23:14:16 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everyone,
Today, I wanted to share with you the final versions of the 5 songs from the EP I've been working on. However, the people I'm working with on this EP want the finished songs to stay under wraps for now.
So unfortunately, I don't have anything new to show you this week and there won't be any WIP Downloads for January. I'm hoping next week to be able to show you something from the other project I've been working on (which is a bit different). But that also depends on m...

Thank you for supporting me on Patreon in 2019. This is the first year I’m not releasing an album and I have your support here on Patreon to thank for that. There is an album coming, but I’m taking a "when it’s done" approach to instead of rushing to hit a deadline. I’ve got a lot of cool projects in the works for 2020 that I’m really excited to show you!
I hope you had an amazing 2019 and that you have an even better 2020!

Looks like House/Trance was tied with DnB in the last poll so I'll throw my own vote in and let's do a DnB track (I've been mainly releasing House songs this year anyways).
This week, let's decide what type of mood we're going to write about. Below are some options with some specific examples of each mood I'd like to write about.

2019-12-21 20:05:09 +0000 UTC View PostHi Everyone,
This month we're going to have a few polls honing in on what type of song I will write in Jan/Feb. Each week or so, I'll be posting a poll with some various options like Genre, Theme, and Instrumentation. And I'll be writing this next month and releasing it here on Patreon.
This week, let's decide what type of genre the song will be. I've given a few examples of previous releases to help make it clearer the specific sound I'd be going for within each genre. 2019-12-11 23:43:48 +0000 UTC View Post

I intended to get you an update this past Sunday, but I came down with a brutal stomach bug Friday after the stream. The past week has been a real struggle and while I was able to start doing a few things the last couple days, I'm really only starting to get back to normal this morning.
I think it's best I take the next couple days off to recover fully and there's a holiday today in the US so I'll be spending time with family. I'm hoping to get you an update by the e...

This is 100% finished. I'm pretty happy with this master and we also added extra background vocals to the verses. Expect a download tomorrow or Sunday!

Hey Everyone!
I have some solid updates on songs that have been in the works for a long time as well as something new for you this week!
0:00 - What If
This is 99% finished! I previewed this version on stream Friday and got a pretty good response. I am just waiting on Alex to give me a final thumbs up and then I'll be doing a reference mastering session on it this week. Expect a download for you all once all that's finalized and it's 100% finished! 2019-10-21 16:49:28 +0000 UTC View Post

This week I worked on finishing up Finding Sunrise and also wrote something new.
0:00 - Finding Sunrise
This was a track that you voted for me to finish from August. While it might not sound too drastically different, I spent a lot of time replacing layers that I didn't like and upping the overall quality and sound design. I did try to switch up a few things but in the end I decided to keep the song pretty close to how it sound...
2019-10-13 18:42:32 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everyone,
This month, I focused heavily on finishing projects that were in-progress. So I didn't write anything new. This month, I want to do something different for the poll. I'm going to be doing some more remixes over on YouTube and I wanted YOU to decide which one I do next!
Most of these are Halloween/October themed but I'm curious which song you'd like to see remixed this month - vote below!

"What If" is finally close to complete and I spent most of this week chipping away and making small adjustments.

Since the last update on "What If" I spoke with Alex about final adjustments. I combined both of our notes and set out about 4 weeks ago to finish the song.
