The piece progresses through several distinctive sections, beginning with a slow passage that reminds me of a camel caravan across a desert, and ending with haunting harmonic plucked strings.

Oldschool techno beats. I've been told it sounds like NES music, which I certainly think is a good thing.
[ 2 6 - 7 6 ] can best be described as simple techno, or perhaps simple electronica. I have always been a fan of very basic techno, such as the simplistic looping tracks of the Mega Man and Metroid video games, and pushed the style in that direction. With the exception of my first piece, the songs were created entirely using 's built in synthesizers and filters. The resulting style is unadorned and reminiscent of earlier video game soundtracks. I've tried hard to give each song a distinctive mood and feel. While I am personally a fan of darker techno, my work tends to be more upbeat and energetic. Each piece has darker passages to it, but there is always a light at the end of the tunnel in a manner of speaking.

Story behind the song
At over seven minutes, The Journey is the epic of my pieces. The piece progresses through several distinctive sections, beginning with a slow passage that reminds me of a camel caravan across a desert, and ending with haunting harmonic plucked strings. At times energetic and driving, at others slow and melodic, some places compound and electronic, others simple and acoustic. The title stems both from the progression of musical passages and the travelogue aurally described by these passages. Where my other pieces provide a mood, this work creates more of a narrative to be followed with the ears.
