biography
I'm a burgeoning musician from North Texas. I love music, and play guitar, piano, drums, and bass, and record my own music in my tiny home studio. I enjoy playing in bands, and I have been in several garage bands in the past, the most current being Jet Set Pilots, in which I am the lead guitarist.

Lights (My Version)
Same as The Lights in the Sky, but I transposed it up a whole step and added a bunch of instruments. Cover of Lights in the Sky by Nine Inch Nails.
Lyrics:
She's mostly gone
Some other place
I'm getting by
In other ways
Everything they whispered in our ear
Is coming true
Try to justify the things
I used to do
Believe in you
Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And I am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Have finally arrived
I am staying right beside you
I tried to stay away
You know
Just in case
I've come to realize
We all have our place
Time has a way, you know
To make it clear
I have my role in this
I can't disappear
Or leave you here
Watching you drown
I'll follow you down
And I am here right beside you
The lights in the sky
Are waving goodbye
I am staying right beside you

Lights in the Sky
A cover of the dissonant ballad from Nine Inch Nails new album, the Slip, which you can download for free at www.nin.com
Transcribed by ear. The scale was such that it was about a whole step below my range, which made it impossible to stay in tune.

Unhappy Waltz
I'm rather unhappy right now. I'm in the middle of testing and I just learned that I was rejected from an internship that I had wanted to get very badly.
So I wrote this thing. It's rather catchy, I think. I was going to add vocals, but its in a difficult key for me.

Standardized Test Blues
Taking some time off of the stressful studying for AP exams to write this simple noodle. It was really more of a test of direct MIDI input, which I've never done before.

Vi-Bra-Tion
Following the immense success of my last weird sampled song "That Does Not Compute" on an online electronic music competition, I've decided to make another one in the same style. This is a song primarily using simple synths and beatslicers, building on samples taken from this old educational film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uzqmhrBoy0
