    Dreams (2005) 

For this track I wanted to create different moods associated with a persons dreams.

    Dying Planet Part 1: The Earth Repents (2005) 
 
The Sun has used up all of its remaining fuel, the only way to for it to survive is to seek out more fuel further into the solar system. Meanwhile on Earth, people are playing out their daily lives, oblivious to the that it is their last perfect day before the sun begins to draw nearer and the earth starts to get hotter! In the final days of its existence the Earth seeks forgiveness as the relentless sun draws closer still and ultimately destroys the planet with all the remaining inhabitants who were either too poor or too naive to escape. Alien inferences and computer malfunctions finally give way to an eerie silence, the earth is no more!

    Dying Planet Part 2: White Dwarfs and Black Holes (2007)

After Consuming  the Earth, the sun continues to spread its destruction, absorbing all the other planets in the solar system until there is no fuel left to burn. The sun then starts to fade away until all that is left is a desolate Red Star which eventually meets its fate as a black hole..

     Dying Planet Part 3: Dying embers form new Stars  (2007)

Some of the remaining matter from the dead sun spews out of the black hole and back into the abyss of space in search of a new home in which to create a fresh solar system; thus the cycle begins once more.

 

  By the River (2003) 

Picture a hot summers day by the river, sitting on a bench, watching time flow by. Listen to the rippling water and sounds of birds.  

  Satellites  (2003) 

This piece is about the exploration of space and is intended as a sequel to Red Giant. It
is influenced by the celestial bodies that orbit the earth and neighbouring planets. This track can be viewed in two halves. The first half starts with a simple melodic piano riff with pleasing harmonisations. In the second half the piano changes key and is slowly followed by additional melodic counterpoint from other instruments.

    Red Giant (2003) 

This composition was inspired by the Apollo 11 moon landings. In the middle of completing this composition there was sad news of the Columbia shuttle crash. I dedicate this piece to those astronauts who lost their lives
and to the achievements man has made in space travel. I used a repetitive melodic line throughout the track adding embellishments as the piece progresses.

  Terrorcota (2002)
 
Written around the same time as Blackmail this composition is influenced by jazz and funk.   

 
  Blackmail (2002) 

This was my first attempt at writing electronic music.
The composition is based around two main riffs. In this track I created a menacing atmosphere by using a Diminished 5th interval in the main theme.
