Music

Compositions

The following are original compositions transcribed in a MIDI sequencer (Cakewalk Pro Audio 7, if you’re interested) and recorded through the sound card (SB Live! Series) with the excellent Air Font (A340) SoundFont. Read more about how I make these.

Recordings

These are actual recordings of myself playing any number of instruments or even (gasp!) singing. They might be me dubbing over myself, or they might be me with a lame accompianment provided by Band-in-a-Box. Either way, they’re me. Enjoy.

Favorites

I love listening to music of all kinds. Take a look at my favorite artists or some of my friends’ music.

Comments on any of the music pages will be enabled shortly so you can tell me what you think.
