Right. So, faced with the task of creating my first ever sample based beat, I decided to tip my hat to the sheer awesome that is the character Kara "Starbuck" Thrace from Battlestar Galactica. All drum patterns were created by myself in Reason…

Pretty much the title says it all. It's about memories of my brothers and me. Only one of my brothers remains. My other brother only lives in my memories. This is for my brother Mark who became my sister Sandra. She passed on to a better place…

Let me introduce to you Every woman child and man The place I did my growing up Raised by grandma's hand I think you'll find That folks are kind They're sure to ask you in Enter the warmth Close the door And my story will begin…
