All I Ever Wanted All I Ever Wanted
Sappy Pop-ish Ballad! Originally written 18 yrs ago. Stumbled across the Floppy Disk with this sequence on it and decided to re-record it! Done entirely on an Ensoniq EPS-16 except the pad. Thats the Oasys.
I Am I I Am I
Be patient! It builds! I know the intro is too long! Recorded on VERY antiquated gear 12 years ago with a cheap mic!
Run Away Run Away
Completely started from scratch on this and Im still not sure about it! Used the same raw sequence but added real drums, Guitar and diff. synth parts. ???

I am an Electronic musician that composes using ONLY hardware. There are NO computers employed in any of my creations and I will keep it that way! The majority of my songs tend to have an industrial edge to them, but I tend to stray from that quite frequently. My MAIN tool is the Kurzweil K2600X. She is the Brain of my studio. She tells everything to do what I tell her to tell them! The majority of these songs are exclusively her. She at times has "lurching" issues but that's just MY lazy fault for not cleaning out useless data, so some of the transitions between parts are not as smooth as they should be! I rarely use drum loops, but I do play the loops as an instrument. I am big into introductions and my Favorite part of my songs are the Bridges. The Majority of these songs are instrumentals because they are not finished! I would sincerely appreciate any comments and criticisms. That's how we become better! My writing style sometimes takes time for the song to get going! I try to convey a feeling or almost an emotional journey in each composition, sort of a "journey" through my head!
NO COMPUTERS WERE INVOLVED AT ANY TIME DURING THE WRITING, RECORDING AND PRODUCTION OF ANY OF THESE SONGS!!!! That's why there are many times of imperfection!!! They will be fixed! ;)Have you performed in front of an audience?I actually played out once as this band and it happened to be at the Al Rosa Villa. Yes the same place Dime Bag Darrel Lost his life!! RIP

BIG sound and great drums, a mysterious feel to the whole thing. Very good vocals and lyrics to top it off.
Excellent work as usual. :)
Nice Jim!!
Thanks Alex!! Yeah, Believe me Im Well Aware of the Transitions between parts! This was a Sketch idea of sorts. Meant to come right back to it and update it but.. Haven't got around to it yet! Thank You so much for the Kind words and critique!
I like this one. It's like seeing a movie while listening, so I think it could be a soundtrack.
There are lots of exiting little changes to keep it interesting.
When you go from one part to the other, something seems to hesitate (a rhythm problem), especially when you go to the rocky part for the second time. Think there it could be improved.
Very good job, anyway!
Wow, Thank You Lisa!! Sorry Im Not as attentive to this acct. as I should be! You Rock!!! :)
