Feel: Aggressive

mp3

Title: Neolith
Genre: Rock
Length: 2:47
Instrumentation: Guitar, Bass, Kit
Tempo: 145 beats per minute.

Aggressive guitars in 2 styles. The guitar mostly in the right channel has a hard gate effect on eighth notes, giving it an almost percussive drive. The one on the left is extended power chords with a hint of a major mode to them - as opposed to the traditional unqualified (open root fifth) or minor chords that you usually find in hard rock pieces. The effect is striking at times. Aggressive, Driving, Intense 2007.


mp3

Title: Exotics
Genre: Unclassifiable
Length: 5:20
Tempo: 132 beats per minute.

Epic piano playing against world percussion and acid-style synths with an upbeat beat. Intense, Mysterious, Mystical, Aggressive 2003.


mp3

Title: Cognitive Dissonance
Genre: Electronica
Length: 4:48
Instrumentation: Electronic
Tempo: 120 beats per minute.

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. Driving, Aggressive, Action 2006.


mp3

Title: As Loud as Possible
Genre: Modern
Length: 1:08
Instrumentation: Piano

Very loud and very discordant. Uses halves of the piano alternately. The first of a series. Aggressive, Unnerving, 2006.



mp3

Title: Jackhammer
Genre: Modern
Length: 1:40
Instrumentation: Piano

This piece is also pretty loud - it has some traditional chordal structures. Considerable pedal at times makes the piece murkier than the others. The second of a series. Aggressive, Driving, Intense 2006.


mp3

Title: Rushed
Genre: Modern
Length: 2:02
Instrumentation: Piano

ere, the rhythm adds the dissonance. An unsettling effect. More delicate than either of the first 2 piece. The third of a series. Aggressive, Driving, Intense 2006.


mp3

Title: Atonal in C-ish
Genre: Modern
Length: 38
Instrumentation: Piano

Atonal, sure... but almost in the key of C... or C-sharp. No traditional harmonics, fast paced - but measured. The forth of a series. Unnerving, Aggressive 2006.


mp3

Title: Cool Hard Facts
Genre: Rock
Length: 2:16
Instrumentation: Kit, Electric Guitar, Synth
Tempo: 116 beats per minute.

Tight drums and power guitars... in some trapezoid of death. Synth-y Ending. Intense, Driving, Aggressive 2006.


mp3

Genre: Rock
Length: 3:24
Instrumentation: Kit, Bass, Electric Guitar, Bari Sax, Tenor Sax, Trumpet

Title: Rock Hybrid
Genre: Rock
Length: 2:10
Instrumentation: Kit, Electric Guitar, Synth
Tempo: 116 beats per minute.

Very very clean rock/hip-hop hybrid with some trance elements. EQ'ed dark, vocals should cut right through. Loopable. Intense, Driving, Aggressive 2006.


mp3

Title: Chipper
Genre: Rock
Length: 1:25
Instrumentation: Kit, Bass, Electric Guitar
Tempo: 116 beats per minute.

Simple simple simple distortion guitar rock; no solos, no highlights; make up your own words if you're so inclined. Intense, Driving, Aggressive 2006.


mp3

Title: Cool Rock
Genre: Rock
Length: 3:29

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


mp3

Title: Harmful or Fatal
Genre: Electronica
Length: 5:30
Tempo: 135 beats per minute.

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


mp3

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. Aggressive, Unnerving, Action, Driving, Dark, Intense 2006.


mp3

Title: El Magicia
Genre: Rock
Length: 4:05

Every now and again I get a request that is so odd, I have to try it. This is hard driving guitar rock with traditional Spanish flair. Imagine Chriss Angel meets Los Del Rio for an in-your-face Spanish/stage magic performance. Thick and busy. Aggressive, Driving, Intense, Dark, Action 2006.
