I hear you, brotha. Going through recovery with my emotions no longer anaesthetized, the brights are brighter, and the darks ... well, we'll leave it at that.

Yup.

This is my Soundcloud account.  It's mainly me playing around with different genres-- jazz, dance, classical, heavy metal.  The only ones that really got more than say 100 views were me trying to play "Georgia" and the classical violin thing I wrote.  But for sure my favorite one is the heavy metal clip I called "Devil Music"-- it really carries a lot of intensity.

Unable to listen now, will give it a hear later, probably tonight.

I like Newsong19

Aside from the entirely different lyrics I dunno why but it reminds me of this song which I love:

Here are some of my old demos, I recorded with Cubase, back in the day, when I still could be a*sed to do sh*t.
Feel free to point and laugh at my dreams of being a musician...

I bet your music is awesome!  But I won't know until Soundcloud support is added to the site, because following external links makes baby Jesus cry.

I've heard a few of his tracks. He's got some great, atmospheric grooves. I'm hoping that when I get my recording setup put together, we can collab -- his is the sort of stuff I don't compose easily but love playing for.

Yeah, I broke down and listened to the tracks (cuz, ya know, who knows if the Soundcloud thing will happen, it looks like it's not so easy on phpbb).  That atmospheric groove is very cool-- the kind of thing I'd use in my PC/android games.

Thanks

np.  Honestly, the sound makes me curious about your age.  There's a lot of the feel of early minimalism to it, as well as something that sounds influenced by gamelan-- so we're talking influences from my uni music prof's generation.
