Triangulation re-release and video
Originally written in 2008 for a songwriting contest, Triangulation has a sort of electronic/jungle-fusion vibe. And more like the rainforest jungle than the D&B subgenre. I’m in the process of remastering some of my previous TheForgotton work and this made an obvious first single.

Album update: Sub Phoebus take 2
While going through the final mixes for the tracks on Sub Luna, I realized there were a couple of things that were bugging me about Sub Phoebus and I’ve decided to tweak a few things. The first problem is that it wasn’t sonically different enough from Sub Luna, especially in the first minute. Also, there were a couple of drum samples that stuck out to me on repeated listens with headphones. The challenge has been to replace a weak snare but keep the same relative drum mix.
A big issue in this remix was to try and get the same sound in a different software environment. The first time around, I had dumped all the tracks from FL Studio and imported them into Cubase for EQ, effects, and mix automation. FL 8 is nearly powerful enough to be a one-stop shop, but I was having trouble finding a way to draw automation from scratch instead of just editing recorded knob turns, etc. I think I’m nearly there, but I have a couple of tweaks to do here and there before I’ll be satisfied enough to release it officially.
Umbriel
Umbriel is a track inspired by my friend Malcom’s Theatre Noir project, and specifically the album Seeds and their sowers. I believe this is the final track for Sub Luna, though probably not in its playing order. I’ll finalize the tracklisting and upload everything to Jamendo some time in the near future.
Hyperion
Hyperion is another entry in my album of mood (moon) music. This is a mostly improvised piece that was given an asymmetrical structure to reflect a particular satellite of Saturn and it’s idiosyncratic orbit.
