Welcome to the musical part of my mind...

A Good Day
[listen]
Orchestral © defconx - January 2009
Composed in Propellerheads Reason.  Written to celebrate my father's success over his lung cancer.
The Light That Fills the World
[listen]
Orchestral © defconx - February 2008 - present
Composed in Propellerheads Reason.  This song was composed over 2008.  It was written for my father who was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.  He has always loved Bass and Cello.  This was my first attempt at a thematic Orchestral piece.  I still have some additional EQ'ing and balancing to do, but am very happy with how it currently stands.  Forgive the abrupt stop at the end.  It is written to flow into another piece.  The song above A Beautiful Day was written to celebtrate the day we learned he was cancer free 1 year later.

Wonder of Flight
[listen] - 2010 Update (working)

[listen] - 2007 Original
Electronica / Ambient © defconx - January 2007
Composed in Propellerheads Reason.  This piece was such a great experience for me.  This song grew out of a little 4-bar melody that I wrote in an airport in L.A.  Looking inwardly, it shows a maturity and evolution in my music making.  It wasn't important for me to just "get a track down".  I wanted it to have movement and depth.  I really feel like I have achieved this.  I personally love listening to this piece.

Electron Smasher
[listen]
Electronica / Dance © defconx - September 2005
Composed in ableton Live 5.  I wanted to play around with some bit smashing.  I ran the two main drum tracks through a bunch of built in Live effects.  This may have been one of the longest effect patches I have done.  The sound got a little crunched and unstable when I rendered the mix to disk, so I need to do some more work on this.  This is more of a conceptual piece and I am working towards the final version.
Peaceful Garden
[listen]
New Age © defconx - August 2005
Composed completely in Reason using the default Reason 3.0 soundbank (there are a few Combis in there).  This piece was written after reading an article about how there can be melodies in songs that don't actually exist.  Alas the mind is a very powerful thing.  I attempting to explore this by writing a peaceful melodic piece, however I try to throw the listen's brain off by adding unexpected timing and notes.  This may allow the listener to hear the song as both the expected timings and melodies he "imagines" as well as what is actually writen.  This was a fun piece for me and I am very proud of it.

In the Werx
The Forsaken Desert
[listen]
Alternative / Ambient © defconx - September 2005
This song currently is being composed in Reason 3.0.  I was going through some Combi patches and really fell in love with the draw guitar and dulci sounds that this song has in it.  I have put it on the shelf for a bit as I am not sure where I am going with it.  Right now it is more of a collection of sounds that I like rather than a song.  Everyone I have played it for dislikes it... but there is something there, I can feel it.
I had a great time writing the surround echo tap drum in the song.  I accomplished this by stacking eight digital delays and adjusting their pan levels on a sub-mixer.  Each delay fed the sub-mixer and another delay.

This was my entry for a remix contest on Sony's Acid Planet.  It was composed using Sony Acid.  All of the samples are by the group The Project.  This was my first remix.  It is pretty simple but I am still very proud of it.
