Made this originally as a stem for collab, but ended up making a whole song while waiting on Waterflame to do a pass on it. He may still get to it, but I thought this was also nice enough to stand on its own as a separate track. Influences are mainly 2 artists I used to listen to on Newgrounds - XsToRmEr1 (Flames of the Sky) and Zero-Bass (the Trigger name is a homage to his naming scheme - Lighti... »

Short melody I've had stuck in my head for a long time. Put it down in notes back in September 2011 but never really got around to orchestrating it much. Only recently figured out how to play it with chords on the piano but not sure how to bring it out more (it's just the main melody with few supporting themes). The intro is also pretty boring - not sure how to improve the sound or melody the... »

Seems like I'm getting some inspiration back. Thought of this one while sitting bored and hungry during discussion section a couple weeks back. Forgot the song for a while before I could come up with a draft of it. It seems like a mix of "Trickling Winds" and "Raindrops". However, this deviates a lot from the style of my older songs; most obvious is the more heavy use of choirs and percussi... »

More improvisation in the new key I figured out how to play. Just emptying my thoughts here so there are probably quite a few tempo issues or off-notes. Was considering cleaning up the notes a bit but I decided I rather like the way it's laid out already. Lots of frustration when playing from discontent in my own life and things seeming to go nowhere. Lately I've only been able to work on mu... »

Just playing around with a new major/minor key I'm becoming familiar with and managed to improv my way into playing this song. It's not mine and is a cover of a song that already exists under a similar name. Thought it was nice enough to keep even though there are obvious playing "typos" (is that the word?) here and there. »

Just some piano improvisation - new key I found I was able to play while just messing around. I think this is the same key as "Blue Calm" but obviously I never tried much variation in that song. Lots of old motifs from previous songs mixed in as well, namely the Cloudless series - we'll see where this goes. Just laying down ideas for now. , SoundCloud, YouTube... »

Oddly enough it wasn't raining when I first got this song stuck in my head. I seem to get the most ideas when exams and projects are coming my way; unfortunately I had to postpone this song quite a bit as a result of being much busier lately. I've been working on this since October but in actuality probably only put about a few days' work into it. I had more in mind for this one but decided ... »

Based on one of my older songs "Cloudless" and effectively orchestrating the piano solo spin-offs from it "Cloudful" and "Cloudfully". Lots of changes and variations on the main melody after playing it improvisationally a lot over the last couple years. I wouldn't really call this from a remake - if you listen to the original, you'll realize it's far from the original but still close en... »

So I keep coming back to my older song Cloudless... The key is just really easy for me to improvise on the spot with I guess. I've managed to build on the melody a lot more than the last variation I made on it (Cloudful). This is just a quick recording of me playing it on the spot so I don't forget later, meaning it's very much just a draft. I'm hoping to make it an orchestral track like the... »

Experimenting with drums for the first time. I had the main melody down okay but had trouble thinking up a background melody support it (strings, etc). Originally I had more ideas for this but got busy and haven't messed with it for months now. Someone might find it useful as a buildup theme or something - I don't know. Song can actually form a perfect loop if you cut off the last note - it ... »

Another song I started way back more than a year ago. It's modestly upbeat; some say it's similar to Cloudless but I think this one's a little more casual and simplistic in melody. The beginning is quite close to how I wanted it to sound; it's also the first time I've messed with effects a bit so that was fun. The rest of the song more or less was thought out in chunks. Unfortunately I c... »

Another one of the songs I stopped working on a long time ago but picked up again recently, this one from January 2011. I woke up with the beginning of the song in my head and eventually played out the rest once I got comfortable with the key signature of the song. There was supposed to be a violin playing by itself somewhere in the song, but I've forgotten where I wanted it. I guess I'm leaving... »

Just piano and no editing or other instruments - improvisation that started off similar to one of my older songs Cloudless but gradually just became a mix of whatever I could play in the same key. There are a lot of random transitions and misplayed keys, but eh - just something I made quickly. And yes, I know the left hand never changes. I've never taken piano lessons, so I can't really ... »

This is a Halloween song I actually started in October 2009 but never came back to (it was only a minute long then). It's probably the most procrastination-afflicted song I've worked on so far, due to weeks and months where there was virtually no progress. At least I managed at least finish in time for this year's Halloween though. The song itself is probably one of my more complex ones. ... »

As the title suggests, think of rain when you hear this song. Think of rain in all its forms (drizzling, shower, storm, hail...) and then think of the sun when it begins to emerge. The initial idea was for the piano to represent rain and the flute as either life in general or the sun (just something counter to the chaos), but it's really up to interpretation. I just happened to think of this s... »

First time spending any real effort in orchestrating a song. There's a lot more variation than in my usual songs (a complete opposite to the lackluster "Blue Calm" song I made a few weeks earlier), and I actually bothered to play it at a constant tempo/beat this time... I should probably should start doing that for all my songs from now on anyways. Sadly, it's not a Halloween/horror song.... »

I had this tune stuck in my head while walking back from class a few days back. The visual I somewhat saw as I was making this was mostly rain and then the ocean. It seemed calm and the water looked blue, so that's where the name came from. It's bad, I know. I originally spent about 2 hours playing this out just to put out ideas before I forget them. Afterwards, I kind of did forget... a... »

Something I put together in a couple hours. Was going to let it sit so I get more ideas, but they never came. Sadly never looked back on this song so I just decided to wrap it up. However, it does form a perfect loop. »

An orchestral version of Bad Lucker (Piano) - hopefully other instruments should add more dimension to the song. Everything is played by keyboard in separate layers. The piano I am satisfied with, but I'm not really sure how the other instruments are fitting in. First time trying anything really serious and to this scale - suggestions welcome! Used in my club's Halloween Little Kook in a ... »

Initially something I made up randomly back in April 2008. Trying to clean up the song a bit. No editing - Played live on keyboard (as if everything else isn't? Some people don't think so) Planning to add orchestra background to it later. Some people told me they prefer just the piano though. Using the final product for a video I'm working on for Halloween. ^_^ »

Continuation of "Another Day". Hit a bit of a creative stump; can't figure out how to transition between parts of the song and the ending - so it may seem a bit abrupt at times. Most of the tunes were played through on keyboard in one run - I think I may have messed up a few times here and there. I probably will remake this song if I ever get the chance.
