This is my stab at a Steve Reich-esque minimalist composition. Consists of piano, Wurlitzer, digital versions of marimba, xylophone, triangle, bass, oboe, bassoon, and strings in different phases.

A mixture of indie, rock, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, post rock, and instrumental.
Hey, i'm Jake, and these are some songs and demos I've made (usually by myself) over the past couple of years. I've been in quite a few bands throughout those years, and when I'm not playing, writing, or jamming with my friends and other musicians, i'm usually fiddling around with music on my own and recording random song ideas floating around in my head. I like to play and write stuff that falls into the categories of indie rock, alt-rock, shoegaze, experimental, ambient, acoustic folk, jazz, and electronic (although I try to escape the confinements of genres as much as possible). I mainly play piano, keyboards, drums/percussion, and guitar, but I dabble in others like banjo, mandolin, harmonica, bass, and kazoo. I'm obsessed with weird sounds, I guess you could say, and I'm constantly trying to find new ways to create sound via arrangements, effects, synths, happy accidents, etc. Although pretty much all of my posted songs are solo stuff, I enjoy making music much more in collaborative efforts, and am always on the lookout for any possible jam session. Enjoy!

Story behind the song
Listen to Steve Reich's 56-minute long "Music for 18 Musicians" piece, and you'll see why I wrote this song. Also, I was inspired by the digital symphony created by the Flaming Lips on their album The Soft Bulletin.
