Imagine a Mexican quintette playing a fast waltz. There are 3 melodies played in 3/4 time, in a sort of non-standard ABCABC format. The title is a photographic/geographic/melodic play on words. There is a merging of European waltz and Mexican…
Beautiful strumental music that makes reflect,think,dream...Thank you for you comment about our "measuring desert".A see you know V.Galaktionov,i(Lena)was in the same classroom whis him in the music college in Moscow.Anyway,we like very much your music.

I decided to tap into my latent '80s Depeche Mode subconscious, and this bouncy tune popped out! Ian Beardsley heard an earlier version of this and immediately detected Spanish flamenco hidden in the techno dance chords. I opened up the stage…
Here is another quick glimpse at ideas from my huge "Fractal Serenity" music video project, still in progress. This particular music-video is a "character study" of one of the strange plants that grows in this dream... the "Glass Orchid…
Great mix of music and ray tracing. I like the sun setting on the horizon.
My studio door is open and the wind is blowing......my wind chimes are chiming.
Very nice music.

about your comment to my romance for orchestra: yes, I agree... how much I need a real orchestra!!! I really thank you, you know? I was thinking on doing that piece over again :) thanks again

what an interesting and amazing project, the music really takes you into this surreal dream, the combination images and music was absolutly perfect, congratz Edward you always bring fine works to us.

While my wife and I were travelling back down the coast of California (near Big Sur) from a vacation around New Years, we stopped at a turnout over a cliff, and took a bunch of video of at least 15 California Condors, flying and hanging out on…

This original melody idea was jotted down in October 2003 in Harmony Assistant, and I had written it thinking that someday I'd make it a real song with lyrics. While playing the tune on the computer, my daughter came in and said she liked it…

Background music for a fun father/daughter YouTube video editing collaboration/experiment (embedded here.) My daughter and I filmed and edited the movie, and I wrote the music after hearing some video-game music my daughter wanted me to emulate…
One of my all-time favorite pieces as well, very nicely re-orchestrated... sort of a Wendy Carlos/Tomita feel. Rich and inventive selection of synth sounds.
I like this little chord progression idea, enjoyed the plucky sounds (although the scratchiness partway in was a little distracting) and the walking bass part was cool. Nice hand-off to the synth in the middle.
Maybe Rock-Ren-Roll? :-) Nice piece of music, great choice of instruments... but 'tis far too short to dance to! It needs a B section, then back to your A section here, and an ending. Well worth extending this out more.
An electronic track from the Dead In The Water sessions. I thought the Last FM version was missing something, so I went in to fine-tune it.
This is the end-result of that fine-tuning.
The track deals with how there are usually no easy outs…
This is a song I wrote with Lisa Purdy (who sings the harmony vocal) about the experience of depression. Jim Bouchard plays lap steel - I'm playing/singing the rest.
Yay Neil! I enjoy this one... great singing and lyrics of course, and what a trio... Lisa's awesome, and matches you wonderfully... and Jim's lapsteel really gives this an even-more woozy off-kilter feel, perfect! And did you do the mixing? Sounds really clean. Programmed drums?

Pulled this one together in bits and pieces as time permitted. This has been one of my favs, lately!
Doug
Oh, yes, this is my loopless experiment, too!
fun gentle ballad thingie (although the fuzz guitar in the middle was a surprise :-) Cool bits of drumming and guitar and singing... way more than I'd ever try to do!

Imagine that you are that lump of enchanted wood on the workbench.... and instead of Pinocchio you can be anything... maybe even a stratavarious... thanx to my friend Dave Edwards for the real violin trax
A talented singer, guitarist, songwriter, and excellent lyricist... I'm quite impressed with what life has molded you into! Great song, great lyrics, excellent build, and always sweet to hear real violins!

While living in Seattle I knew a guy named Larry. Larry was one of the "pretty" people of the world and had most women drooling over him. He met and married Denise... Also one of the "pretty" people of the world. But Denise could not seem to…
Love this song, great writing, great singing... nice mixing... you should be proud of this one. There's a very slight phasing effect on your voice, which at first I didn't like much, but it adds a dreamy quality, so I changed my mind. Excellent harmonies.

Cool and rather unique sound to this song. I was not much of a fan for the dry-sounding raspy bass synth that sometimes appeared in my left ear (would have preferred a softer sound, or back further, more reverb?) But the rest of this was super-cleanly mixed, very crisp sound (stop making me lust after logic!) :-)

Comments on drakonis's stuff
mmm, beautiful, what an imaginative composition. playful, mystical and fun.
This could suit to these beautiful fairy tales like Corpse Bride. Fantastic arrangement and magical melodies !
BRAVO! w;-)
Very Nice Track, It Sparks My Imagination. Beautiful Composition.

My little ladies love your music and video.

Oh wow, it's a fairytale.

Magical indeed!!
Spooky wind chimes! :-) Predictably gorgeous, magical sounds from Drakonis.
Another one that I had missed the video for. Very interesting and the music is lovely!
Hadn't seen the video before- great stuff and the guitar was a nice addition!
going from minor to major tones.. that was perfect
The more I hear it, the more I like it... great work
Love the use of the voice. I use a text to speech engine and then edit within melodyne - gives realistic results.
Great stuff.
Each time I hear this, I hear something I had missed previously.

Has a bit of baroque feel, and very frenetic, perfect for a 18th century car chase scene :-) This is nicely written.
Very pretty composition, and well played. A mesmerizing piece.

Very pretty lyrical piece... there was a teeny too much reverb on this recording for my taste, but the music and playing were a delight.
wacky, dizzy, cool music. Love the strange echoey bent distortion of the vox samples.
