Second movement of A Symphony For May. This encompasses the fun and feelings of playful interraction between two people, as well as fun festivals/carnivals and such.
Shades of Crystal Shades of Crystal
A bit of a distraction from my latest work. Very ambient feeling. Also very based on Pachabel's Canon. :) Enjoy
Memories Memories
Lush synths made to sound almost as if you are floating through the ocean...enjoy. :)
Ai Ai
'Ai' is Chinese for 'Love'. Listening to this song, you might get a 'Massive Attack' feeling...this song is still under production, but please feel free to enjoy in the meantime...

Albums
I've always been in music. Music is the fast-track to my heart and soul. Anything I write has an imprint of who I am at the time it is written. So if you listen to my music, you are really listening to my heart. Not only that, I want to help people get to know themselves as well. I try to write across a broad spectrum of music to appeal to many people (not primarily as a marketing strategy, mind you) to convey this to as many people as possible.Band/artist history
I first began writing music in my senior year of high school (1998), so that is where I got my first taste of classical composing. Though only a little of my work has been performed publicly (arrangements of church music, as well as a fanfare I wrote for a school play), I still enjoy writing it for myself.
Though I began writing music (classical, jazz) in 1998, I took a small break in 2000-2001, due to my joining the military. In 2001, I "found" electronic music: Trance. After much experimentation (rather unsuccessful at that), I turned to a deeper part of myself and wrote slower, more meaningful pieces. "Eternal Symphony" is one such example, and one of these days I will upload the other songs from that album.
After more success with that style, and being pleased with the way it sounded, I continued down that path, writing some more-energetic music (ambient psy-trance) as well, I gained my footing in what I found I was best at.
After finishing three albums, "Scenes From the Mind", "Light of Dawn", and "The Inside-out", I recieved an email from Statue Records stating their desire to sign me. So I put together a 3-song introductory CD called "In The Beginning...", and is now on sale at www.statuerecords.net.
In 2004, I was so enthralled by the ideas behind "The Lord of The Rings" (not just the movies mind you), and being a fan of "Pictures At An Exhibition", by Modest Moussorgsky, I decided to do my own multi-part piece. I envisioned "The Towers of Guinari", a kingdom spanning a large part of the world, with evil on its darkest borders, and large trade and culture coming from the eastern borders.
Perhaps one day I will have video created to visualize my idea, but for now, please enjoy the music I have on here (which is being updated a bit before release, so check back often).
From 2007 - 2009, I worked on 3 film scoring projects. The first two were abandoned by the directors, and the last one was released. It wasn't a pro job, but it was good experience nonetheless.
Now, I am slowly trying to crank the wheel to get my creative juices going again after a long hiatus. Hope to have some new work out to everyone soon!Have you performed in front of an audience?Well, no. I dont play live. Not yet anyway. I'm working on making my way into doing film scores and other live orchestra writing, so we'll see where that goes. :-)
Your musical influences
Of course, all music is influenced in some form or another from everything in life, so I won't claim any ONE source. However, If I were to pin down a few, I'd say the following:
Electronic: Sasha, Balligomingo
Classical: Handel, Tchaikovsky, Copeland, Sibelius, Moussorgsky, Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninoff (please forgive the spelling)
Jazz: Sade
Of course, I put my own little flavor into it. :-)What equipment do you use?

What's Good! Congrats on getting #49th on the charts! Keep up the good work! Check out my music if you got a chance
Hello Audiostratus,
I must say that I really enjoyed listening to your music today. I found it very soothing, relaxing. You certainly have a gift of capturing the listener.
Your compositions are very well balanced and the audio quality of all of your music is exceptional. Most important to me, all of your music displays originality and that is the key here and why your music has attracted so much attention.
I wish you every success!
Kindest regards,
John.
Adore your work, wraps around my ears and mind, watching the clouds float by out of my window and their silent journeys, changing, growing, shrinking....
I love the music! Its really great! Memories is so relaxing and I really like Deep, too :)
Keep it up
