this is a guitar part idea for my band right now. who knows if we'll use it. the first 5 chords have a chromatic scale going on with in the chords which i like. E-D#-D-C#-C fun fun.

i recorded this song a few months ago. i didn't add any other instrumentation at request of my wife who wanted it just guitar and singing.

this is pretty ruff, but i don't see myself rerecording it anytime soon plus i can't find the lyrics and i'm too lazy to write them down ... anyways. i guess its just a bunch of thoughts about God, a little dramatic. enjoy!

this was an idea also that i added a bunch of fun polyrhythms too... check it all the way out the beginning may be boring but hey,,, the song is like... 0:55 so you can't complain! and... i've never heard anyone rap to weird time signatures either…

this was an original that i didn't end up liking but it has some potential i guess... the transitions are ruff.... but i also need 3 songs to make this playlist visible! haha

another rap song which Young Reaper aka ashley brown calls his "gospel rap" i made a really happy beat to it... i think the chorus is really catchy... gets stuck in my head haha...

Peters version of this is actually fast so i decided to slow it down and make it "picky" also, i was always fascinated by the key change which isn't something i've done in my music (or at least on purpose haha i do have a key change on the chorus…

lots of left and right stereo, lots of back and forth of right and wrong. my conscience is clear.

to my brother and sister. sometimes you don't realize who you were until you left. i value family so much, but somehow i don't live as if i do. i want to change this.

This song originally bored me. but i found out how to modulate and bend the sounds in a way that i enjoyed it. also listen for the appearance of my lovely Dumbek drum. :) enjoy

this was the first electronic song that i wrote. i enjoy the overlapping drum beats.

this is the second electronic song that i've written. it feels short to me, at the same time i don't want to run the risk of "repetitive electronic music" stereotype. enjoy

this is a poem by Herman Hesse. its a pretty simple poem but it means a lot to me. its my first song in another language.

i'm not sure if i like this song. it has a ruff sort of flow and recording. i was thinking of adding some mellow synth backing to help it sound full but i don't want to start that now, so i wont.
