Ambient / Experimental / Other

It's futile to pretend it's anything different. I'm a guy with a keyboard. I make ambient music.
I have "recorded" four "albums."
More or less, I plugged whatever keyboard I had at the time into whatever laptop I had at the time, and hit that button with the red circle that means "Record." It's come out different each time, and I enjoy it myself, so I keep making more.

At some point, I plan on truly committing the music in each one of these into a real album. Consider it four disks worth of demos if you will. Then again, 4:00 A.M. sounds pretty good if you ask me.

Sunrise to me feels like it would best be finalized as a live recording.
P.S... will probably be completely re-done in Garage Band, depending on when I can afford a Mac again.
4:00 A.M. is my baby, and I honestly believe that I did something special on that night.
Take 2 is ugly, and I don't plan on letting anyone hear that.

Having said all that, I have 4 songs that give a pretty good example of what I do. Although the source material isn't exactly the greatest, compressing them into low-quality MP3s to put up here really doesn't help.

Please don't be too harsh...the full quality songs sound better.
Sometimes.
Maybe.

Anyway, this is what I've recorded. I went through a rough time about 6 months ago and had to sell my entire keyboard rig. Someday soon....I'll come back.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy.
