Solus

June 07, 2013 by Russell Gawthorpe in Music

More music, because I do that kind of thing. Fake guitar with some (fake) piano and (obviously fake) wailing synth and what-have-you. It's almost coherent. Almost.

Some cover art, should you feel the need to add this to your iTunes library, or something. If you do, can you let me know why, because I'm morbidly curious.

Analemma

February 09, 2013 by Russell Gawthorpe in Music

I've revived an old MIDI tune by throwing it at Garageband and tweaking a few dials. This track was largely inspired by various chunks of Tool, Lacuna Coil and Dream Theater, resulting in a hodge-podge mish-mash of semi-gothic mellow-metal electronic noises. Enjoy!

Umbrabilis

December 10, 2012 by Russell Gawthorpe in Music

More muzak. The title, if you're curious (and I'm sure you are), is Latin for "ghostly". This one's not as finished as I'd like it to be, but I've pored over it and I can't really be willed to do anything further with it. It's got some nice melody and some bizarreness about it. For some inexplicable reason, it also mocks the hearty power chords of every television theme song from the early 1980s' at one point. If you can spot it, you can have a gold star.

Part of the continuing deluge of "Potentia II: Extras", sequel to "Potentia II', itself a sequel to "Potentia". Bet you didn't see that coming.

Thanks for listening!

A Step Backwards

August 23, 2012 by Russell Gawthorpe in Music

Sometimes I make music. Here's a melodic piano/oboe piece that I'm quite proud of. It has some nice structure and the changes are unexpected, but pleasant. The bassline meanders, but seems to make it back into familiar territory just at the right moment. I quite like the melody of the "chorus", with its out-of-left-field resolution. I hope you enjoy!

Band in a Falling Elevator

March 01, 2012 by Russell Gawthorpe in Music

Sometimes I make music. Sometimes it's alright. Sometimes it's not. Sometimes, it's remarkably in-between, and defies being pressed into either of the aforementioned categories. In this example, I've managed to fuse together some bizarre early Porcupine Tree-esque bass bounces with some Yamaha DX-7 vintage electric piano stylings and some entirely unnecessary organ chords in the introduction. I can't help myself.

Thanks for listening!
