A new song I finished on April 1st 2010. Slightly progressive, but a bit more laid back than previous songs. Written in A minor, it’s a melodic song that will fill that “softer” spot on the album, relying more on vocal melodies and harmonies rather than complex instrumentation..

Oh yeah… forgot to mention… I am planning on releasing a solo progressive album later this year. Until I See You, Our Story, and Symphonic (rerecording) are the three songs I have so far. I plan on releasing a new one every month, so hopefully I will have the album done by the end of the summer of 2010.

This is a song I recorded a few weeks back and just finalized all the parts. It was sung by someone very special to me, Sarah Wofford (she also played the guitar part throughout the song). I played bass as well as arranged piano, drums, and string parts for the song. I didn’t do much… it was all her.

A progressive song I wrote in August/September of 2009. At the time, I was studying deeper into music theory and this song was a result of some of the early “practicing” I was doing. It uses many varying time signatures as well as some more complex chord structures and progressions as compared to ones I’ve used in the past.

This is a song that my band Order of Týr recorded in the Spring of 2008.  My friend Jordan B. Sanders actually wrote this song…All I did was sing it, but I thought I would put it up here anyway.

This is an arrangement I did of the song Overture 1928 by Dream Theater.  It was arranged for a percussion ensemble I taught at a local highschool.  There is marching battery as well as pitched percussion such as keyboards (marimba, vibes, etc), accessories, and Bass Guitar.

This is a song I wrote and recorded in December of 2008 to be given as a Christmas present.  It is modeled to be slightly radio-rock-ish while still retaining a bit of complexity because after all….it’s what I do.

My nerdiest pride and joy.  This is my collection of Transformers I have collected over the span of my life.  They range from original G1 toys I played with as a child, all the way to current toys I recieve as gifts.  The bottom row consists of a few larger transformers, three of them being combiners (Devastator, etc).  The second row from the bottom is full of mostly the first generation Beast Wars toys.  The third row from the bottom contains Transmetal Beast Wars toys well as a couple of first generation toys.  The fourth shelf from the bottom, has all of my original G1 and G2 toys.  The second shelf from the top has a bunch of G1 remakes and 2007 movie toys that have come out over the past couple of years.  The top shelf has a few different things including the 1986 movie, 2007 movie, the G2 Optimus Prime and Megatron, and the Masterpiece Optimus Prime among a few other things.

After getting an extra Sega Genesis for free and having a Washburn guitar lying around that I could not get rid of, I decided I would combine them…because after all…I AM in a Video Game Metal band! At the moment the only thing this guitar is lacking is a set of strings and a much better pickup to up the bad ass-ery.
