Shit I've composed!

(All songs composed on an iPad using SymphonyPro. It is by far the best app I have
used to compose and arrange. Download on the App Store!)

Schubert's Dream 440AM

This is the first piece I composed. I learned Schubert's Ständchen when I was a kid and have always had a strong love for this piece. Every time I heard it I always heard this other melody in my head that went right along with it. Then I happened to hear it a few years ago and thought to myself, "now is the time buddy". So, I tried my hand at composing and arranging and this is what came of it.

Composed: 2021


Groove

I woke up with this melody in my head. It's very bossa nova/island feel.

Composed: 2022


Love

This song is special. I took a piece of paper and drew two rectangles side by side. Then, I wrote out the scale of notes from A to G: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A at the top. I then asked my bf to pick any letter(s) they wanted, in any order, and write four letters in each rectangle. The only stipulation was not to spell words (FACE or ACE, etc). I took those eight notes and this is what came of it.

Composed: 2023


A Different Pavane

Gabriel Fauré's Pavane in F-sharp minor, Op. 50 is one of my ultimate faves. The haunting color of it just makes me feel at home. True to my brain, when I hear this song I also hear another melody in my head that fits with it so well. This is what came of it.

Composed: 2024


Symphony Fanfare

This piece is based off of a warmup we used to do in HS band. Everyone plays the first note in uninson, then the second, but on the third note, it splits and the second section starts over on the first note again. This happens again when note 5 is hit, the third section starts over at the beginning. The pattern is akin to singing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" as a round between three people.

Attention: Confidential

A friend of mine and overall lovely human commissioned me to compose the theme song to their upcoming podcast, "Attention: Confidential!". I was given some parameters to help me get an idea of the genre/vibe and I immediately had a melody pop into mind and had it basically completed, composed, all instrumentation parts in place, albeit in my head, before our meeting even ended and there you go.
