Title: New Friendly
Genre: Electronica
Length: 2:49

Title: Future Cha Cha
Genre: Electronica
Length: 4:48

Genre: Electronica
Length: 4:02
Instrumentation: Synths
Tempo: 130

This piece is in a genre sort of made by an electronic instrument from Yamaha called the Tenori-On (though it was not made on one of them). It is a sixteenth note-quantized all-synth 4 bar repeated thing. Items are only added, never removed. 029 Bouncy, Relaxed 2007

Title: Electro (Sketch)
Genre: Electronica
Length: 3:07

Title: Cognitive Dissonance
Genre: Electronica
Length: 4:48
Instrumentation: Electronic
Tempo: 120

Main theme used in two different treatments. Specifically designed to turn your brain around... one sort of gets lost in the fog in the middle, and ends up pointing the wrong way by the end. Starts with a very long slow fade. 018 Driving, Aggressive, Action 2006

Title: The Way Out
Genre: Electronica
Length: 2:52

Title: Variation on Egmont
Genre: Electronica
Length: 3:32

Kind of techno, with a mix in of themes from Beethoven's overture as played on piano. 018 Driving, Aggressive, Unnerving 2006

Title: Harmful or Fatal
Genre: Electronica
Length: 5:30
Tempo: 135

Electronica (techo, light industrial). This one moves with a crazy speed guitar doubling some synth lines, and making some lines or its own. Harsh. 012 Aggressive, Driving, Intense, Dark, Action 2006

Title: Shiny Tech II
Genre: Electronica
Length: 3:42
Tempo: 138

Electronica (techo-pop dance). Much like its predecessor, but with a brand new, less pop main synth line. 012 Driving, Action, Intense, Dark 2006

Title: Shiny Tech
Genre: Electronica
Length: 3:42
Tempo: 138

Electronica (techo-pop dance). This is a fast and energetic piece polished almost to a fault. Lots of synth, and a happy clave. Think fashion show runway. Works best loud, works also not so loud. 012 Driving, Action, Intense, Uplifting, Bright 2006

Title: In a Heartbeat
Genre: Electronica
Length: 3:37

Electronica (industrial dance). Hard, hard, super-hard, gritty, you-had--better-want-to-be-angry electronica. This piece is fast and harsh. 012 Aggressive, Unnerving, Action, Driving, Dark, Intense 2006

Title: Cut Trance
Genre: Electronica
Length: 3:40

Title: Dance Monster
Genre: Electronica
Length: 3:20
Tempo: 120

A remix of one of my own pieces "120 BPM Monster" by special request. This one is longer, and more sharply mixed. 018 Driving, Bright 2006

Title: Consequence
Genre: Electronica
Length: 5:02

Moderately paced driving composition featuring xylophone and cowbell. No, I'm not kidding. 030 Dark, Driving, Mysterious 2005

Title: Intuit
Genre: Electronica
Length: 7:50

I chose the sound palate, and then assembled the piece without listening to it. The interesting bit is that it was assembled visually - looking at the waveform profiles. This is my first one, and the sound selections are all amiable. I am unsure of the genre. Trance? 018 Mysterious, Mystical, Grooving 2004
