Electronic MP3 Music:


1997


Annoyance
Origin: January 26th, 1997
Lifespan: 7h 38m
Attention Span: 5m 21s
Resurrection Factor: 1

Etiology:
Inspired from an unknown song I heard at a club. Cool dance piece until about 4 minutes in, when the intentional aural onslaught from which the title is derived begins. I like it, but I doubt many others will.

Just Dance
Origin: February 2nd, 1997
Lifespan: 4h 16m
Attention Span: 4m 06s
Resurrection Factor: 0

Etiology:
Another dance piece, with a lot of percussive instruments. I took one theme and passed it around to different sounds. Interesting results. Check it out.

Dream Runner
Origin: February 3rd, 1997
Lifespan: 10h 5m
Attention Span: 5m 19s
Resurrection Factor: 0

Etiology:
An early favorite dance piece of mine. I set the music to a droning one chord background and it worked wonderfully. I use this same technique in the as of yet uncompleted "Spin".

Chaos Rising
Origin: February 21st, 1997
Lifespan: 3h 11m
Attention Span: 4m 38s
Resurrection Factor: 0

Etiology:
Purely for experimentation, I wrote this eerie piece. It is a strange one, not too listener friendly, but it does have some interesting moments. Don't take this one too seriously.

Hard Driver
Origin: February 21st, 1997
Lifespan: 1h 13m
Attention Span: 2m 05s
Resurrection Factor: 0

Etiology:
This one dates me. The influence of '80's rock pours from it, but it still sounds pretty cool. (I guess?)

Michael
Origin: March 8th, 1997
Lifespan: 7h 34m
Attention Span: 5m 30s
Resurrection Factor: 0

Etiology:
A long time favorite, I wrote this piece under the influence of "The Perfect Drug" by NIN. This sounds nothing like that song though, so I can't be called a 'copycat'. 'Wannabe' is probably still fitting.

Adrenalin
Origin: July 14th, 1997
Lifespan: 4h 03m
Attention Span: 5m 35s
Resurrection Factor: 0

Etiology:
I created this entire piece based on a choral voice progression I created in a orchestral piece. That progression was only about a 1/2 bar, but that was enough to inspire.

Crash Course
Origin: December 21st, 1997
Lifespan: 4h 11m
Attention Span: 3m 15s
Resurrection Factor: 3

Etiology:
The influence of heavy metal is prevalent in my writing here, though I still use electronic instruments. This is a fast paced one, with some cool segment breaks.

1998


Anger
Origin: January 24th, 1998
Lifespan: 0h 56m
Attention Span: 3m 31s
Resurrection Factor: 1

Etiology:
I used my guitar to come up with the music for this one. It was originally a blueprint for a song that I wanted to write. It ended up being this electronic instrumental piece.

Siren
Origin: March 6th, 1998
Lifespan: 4h 53m
Attention Span: 4m 44s
Resurrection Factor: 1

Etiology:
1st experiment with custom sounds. A favorite moment of inspiration occurs with the piano & string sections. The title alludes to the creatures of Greek mythology and the opening music is meant to be their call.

march viii
Origin: March 8th, 1998
Lifespan: 1h 00m
Attention Span: 2m 58s
Resurrection Factor: 3

Etiology:
2nd experiment with custom sounds. Though this experiment has not yet been completed, the data gathered thus far has been interesting.

Water Boil
Origin: May 11th, 1998
Lifespan: 1h 43m
Attention Span: 2m 14s
Resurrection Factor: 1

Etiology:
An upbeat song that I think I subconciously modelled after a song that my mother and sister used to clog to -- "Popcorn" -- though it sounds nothing like that song.

2002


intro
Origin: February 9th, 2002
Lifespan: 3h 27m
Attention Span: 1m 32s
Resurrection Factor: 4

Etiology:
This piece is actually untitled. I gave it the temporary name of "intro" just to give it some character. Though it is a complete song, I think I might add to it in the future.

Spin
Origin: March 4th, 2002
Lifespan: 24h 38m
Attention Span: 5m 00s
Resurrection Factor: 5

Etiology:
The love child of pure boredom and general angst. Theme evolved from a guitar riff I created during the hours when any sane mind would be sleeping. Though its length is sizable, "Spin" is still spinning.

2003


Any Jam 397
Origin: March 2nd, 2003
Lifespan: 6h 11m
Attention Span: 5m 21s
Resurrection Factor: 5

Etiology:
I wrote this one with a million things in mind. Only a few things have made it into the piece though. Be on the lookout for updates to this piece, hence its Resurrection Factor of 5
