Songs I’ve recorded. Both original compositions and rearrangements.

  • Opened Logic Pro for the first time in a while the other day, and started poking through some loops. Came across some clips of the numbers one through ten spoken in French, and a song sort of developed from there. Please enjoy How to Count in French:

  • Since bringing home the ukulele, all I’ve been wanting to play on it is tracks from Mike Oldfield’s The Voyager. Here’s a test recording of my attempt at playing She Moves Through the Fair, which I think is actually an Irish folk song. Also wanted to hear how well my webcam mic performs with music.

  • Had a go at recreating the last song Anders Enger Jensen wrote for 8 Bit Keys, since it’s one that I like quite a bit. Here’s a YouTube link to the original. This one was done in Logic Pro, and has a little more of the typical synth leads than the more brassy sound Anders Enger Jensen used.

  • Woke up with this tune in my head this morning. Managed to record it before I forgot it, then I added some accompaniments. I’ve called it Prophet, after the synth. It’s a decent start but I’m not sure how to continue it from this point on.

  • While poking through some old GarageBand projects I came across this track I wrote a few of years ago. I didn’t think much of it of the time, but over the last day or so, it’s started to grow on me.

  • More Logic Pro this evening. Here’s a recording of the main theme from Tubular Bells 2. Love how the Steinway Grand Piano sounds.

  • Launched Logic Pro and did some MIDI recording this evening. Here’s an except from “Top of the Morning” from Tubular Bells 3.

  • Fired up Logic Pro for the first time in a while. Trying a rearrangement of Passion for Exploring from the VVVVVV Sound Track. Got the chorus sounding pretty good, although some of the synth attributes need a bit of fine tuning. Here’s a sample of what I’ve got so far.
