Haunted house music for a 3D Pacman clone project that unfortunately never got off the ground.
Here's a short, odd...uh, thingie I recorded with my recent guitars. Not sure yet if I want to develop this one further or just leave it as a songlet.

Here's a new little songlet that came about from messing around with various world instruments. Yes, I know it's repetitive, but hey it's only a songlet. :P
Silly Song 2
And now for something completely different. Ok, I really didn't set out to write something like this tonight. It started innocently enough. I just wanted to go through sampling Logic's various software instruments. So I slapped in an ascending/descending A harmonic minor scale (I do love me some harmonic minor), set it to loop, and went around changing instruments for a while. Well, in the process of doing that, I ran across several texture/fx/noise instruments that sounded interesting. So this little songlet is made almost entirely of that simple loop copied and layered several times using different software instruments. And the sound at the very end is sheep baahing pitch shifted down an octave.
There's definitely a reason I named it "Weird Song 1." Don't say I didn't warn you. :P But I kept it short. I figured ~1 minute would be the most anyone could stand of it. :P

More fun with iPad Garageband. This time with the built in loops for most everything. Except for the piano which is the smart piano on autoplay, and the drum kit which I tapped out myself

A little test song I put together in iPad Garageband this evening in a few hours. No premade loops were used. I used nothing other than GB's built in software instruments. Good fun for only $5.

What if every string on your guitar could be a different instrument?
Ok, so I really wouldn't even call this a songlet. It's more of a test.
One of the cool things about hexaphonic pickups and at least this
particular guitar->midi interface is that it has the ability to send
string data on different MIDI channels for each string. This means that
you can split each string onto it's own track that has its own
instrument and other settings. So after a lot of mucking around, I
finally figured out how to do this in Logic (it's neither obvious nor
automatic). So here's the results of the little test I did. Note that
these were not tracks recorded separately. This was all a couple of one
pass recordings. No overdubbing, only some small post-recording
touchups. Except for the drums. They're just a loop. And yes, I know
the first part sounds a lot like Megadeth's Diadems.

An in progress metal song that will unfortunately stay that way since I lost a lot of its data. T_T

A mostly finished Christian metal song. Probably won't be finished because I switched OSes and DAWs.

An old, little piano piece. It started as a short music class homework that just kinda grew.

An older Christian metal song I finishedfinsihed but never got around to recording real guitars for.

A reworking I did a while back of a couple of songs from the anime, Azumanga Daioh. The originals are called "Maya to Issho" and its variation "Maya to Ita Kisetsu." I originally meant to extend it, but never got around to it.

A songlet I wrote to test out Cakewalk's Dimension Pro synth which I had just bought at the time.

An old cover of the Metallica song. I couldn't remember the 1st half or so of the ending solo and was too lazy to relearn it, so I just winged it.
