This is a compilation of some of my compositions. A lot of these songs are instrumentals using pianos, synthesizer pads, drums/percussion, electric bass, and world instruments.
One of my songs called “Carpe Diem” has vocals of me and I am playing each instrument! Enjoy!!!
Crystal Triumph:
Fusion Flamenco:
Dulcimer Fantasy: Imagine a dulcimer player dreaming up his own fantasy in this one as he plays his dulcimer. This song features the Irish hammered dulcimer,a Native American Flute and two synthesizers.
Koto Breeze: Ah, the soothing sounds of the traditional Japanese zither, the koto. Think of this piece as a koto is being played with a light breeze in the afternoon. This song features the Japanese koto zither, a synthesizer pad, the shakuhachi, a traditional Japanese flute, (played at the beginning of the song), and a jazz drum kit with brushes.
Friday Jazz: One of my favorite pieces that I composed on this album. A three piece Jazz band made up of an acoustic bass, a piano, and a jazz kit with brushes.It puts you in an upbeat jazz club somewhere on the East Coast. Snap your fingers!
Native Motif: A new age piece complete with a Native American flute, a classical guitar, panpipes, percussion, and African percussion called the Udu drum.
Carpe Diem (Sieze the Day): This is a trance song with my vocals I did for a school project for my junior English class.It’s based off of a movie called The Dead Poets Society. In one scene where Neil and his friends are in Latin class and throughout the movie, they keep saying the phrase “ Carpe Diem” which means “Sieze the day” in Latin. My final song uses an electric drum kit, a synthesizer, a piano and my vocals. I also wrote the lyrics to the song and played each instrument, plus also did vocals for this last song on the album. Everyone in my English 11 class loved it, especially my teacher! Enjoy
