Symphonic Electronica
For an upcoming album: Infinitas. Based on melodies from "Night on Mount Bonnell" with many added counter melodies and overall written as a "waltz".

This is the very original version of "Blue" which was very much inspired, as was a lot of "VOX" by Lauri Anderson (one of the pioneers of electronic music as an art form) This version has not been on line since the days of mp3.com, enjoy...

For the upcoming re-relrease of "VOX" (2002) Based on my 1991 poem. Synth was played "live" the "stab" is cause by hand tweaking the cutoff on a Yamaha Rm1x seqeuncer, which was actually running 3 of the same sequence in different "phases" so they interacted. The "stab" just caused emphasis in the seqeunce--overall an experiment in minimalism

Psytrance
I have not done a Psytrance piece in quite some time and I have have been listening to a lot of ME Trance as of late (InfectedMushroom, Astral Projection, etc) As I explore "Future Trance" for CF, I cannot help but think that Psytrance and Goa will have a long lasting effect on Dance music in general--of course I have added piano's ;) I really like how Infected Mushroom will use other sounds, so I have ventured into Gutiar as well. Enjoy... still a WIP

Progressive Electronica
This song first appeared on "VOX". I have wanted to revisit for quite some time. I have added about 5 new synth lines and remasted off of the original mp3.com cd. I do recommend listening with headphones, maybe even in the dark, I _DO_NOT_ recommend listening to this song if you are at all depressed as the content is exteremely heavy--this song and the original poem it was created from still haunt me to this day...

A second mix for this song as I try to finalize "Digital Kingdoms"

Progressive Trance
*Note* This track goes to "11" ;),play loud and let the progressions hypnotize you >:) This track is a near perfect blend of FWD's "Newfoundland" and my "Iceland" with a virtual "sea" of swirling gates between... Since I "dusted" off FWD Newfoundland per a request about ever finishing the remix, I decided to "play" with it again :) using a lot of new things from FL Studio and Morphine. This time I finally figured out the last seqence, I only had wavs from his original remix pack. This origina

This is my original remix of what I consider to be a great original by Fourier Wave Device. I do not think the original is still here at ES, but if you can find his original, you should ;) FWD is only the 2nd remix I have ever done, the other was LP's "Kitchen Sync" At about 4 mins in, I break into counter/complementry composition which later became my "Iceland" enjoy...

Ambient
This song completely shows off the new Additive synth by image line: Morphine. All you here save the drums are from morphine: Pads, bells, 303ish lines, Basses, etc. All notes generated were laid out by me, I am not using any looping features or gates. I tried to keep the fx within the realms of FL Studio, except I do use LUXONIX LFX1310 which is a freely available FX VST. All drums samples are all from FL Studio.

WIP, as the name implies this piece--currently--has 1 theme and progresses through a ton of variation on it via arpeggios, pads, hats, etc

One that was in the works for a while. Let it consume you or fly you... your choice Play loud...

A Club Futuris bound remix of the Wintermute classic

There are actually two "floating" clubs over Mars: "Club Futuris" and "Nuevo Cafe Del Mar". This song blends Holst's "Mars Bringer of War" and the Trance classic Energy52's "Cafe Del Mar" ala Wintermute "Future Trance" style. This mix is an earlier slightly less complex more complete mix

This song blends Holst's "Mars Bringer of War" and the Trance classic Energy 52's "Cafe Del Mar" ala Wintermute "Future Trance" style. At somepoint, I want to add in the climax of "Mars" toward the middle or near the end. This will be a DJ intro song, probably on CF DSK 1

Melodic Trance
This is a very similar composition wise to the "Endless 2005 mix" but this was the first version to add the new "Bass" piano lines as well as new at the time chords and melodic features, this one also sounds pretty good "at volume"

This was the "parent" composition to "Crystalline Rhapsody" it is pretty much the various flange effects that have a "glass" sound to them where as a lot of the lines in CR "grow together" and mutate each other.
