In a continuation of my last announcement I hereby give a proper article regarding my music. I wanted to wait until at least a few of my songs were published fully before I made the announcement but here goes. During my ambition to become a filmmaker, I decided to go John Carpenter and create my own music as well. Thanks to an independent site called CD Baby, that dream has now become a reality.

So without further adieu, I shall present to you the singles and albums that I have worked to make so far. Just click on the album covers and you'll be able to purchase my music at CD Baby's main store.

For starters, my first single.

Glockenvaltz

It started out as an attempt at a tribute to classical music. Specifically Mozart and Strauss' Waltz.  However after working on the cover art for it, I decided to expand on it, creating a wordless story.

Glockenvaltz: A Story Of Love, Betrayal and Murder

 

 The idea came to me when I was trying to draw a pair of humanoid Glockenspiel dancing together for the cover art of my single. The story has no words, but is expressed through the music.  Imagine a world, where instruments are sentient like you and me.  A world where one of the oldest instruments, The Piano, is considered a god of this world, with the other instruments, it's subjects.  Imagine the Glockenspiel Couple dancing and singing to this God's natural rhythm. Never has a couple been so in love. But will it last? Or will a fellow instrument cut their loving lives short. 

Last but not least. Is another single. One of what I could hope to be the next Album if i do right.

Classical Rock 

An experiment in musical time travel. What if a rockstar, any rockstar traveled through time, to the era of classical music? With nothing but the knowledge of their style and the tools provided to them, how do they hope to wow the crowd? By mixing classical with classic rock. This single is the first to what I hope to be many that mixes old School with really old school. This particular single was inspired by a saying I once heard. That Mozart was considered the Rockstar of classical music. So it got me thinking how would a Rockstar do classical if they were in that period. This is how.

That is all for now, but there will be more soon. As usual debate, argue and let me know what I missed, stay tuned for more.
