2024 Submissions
Acceptance and Denial
It’s about someone who was in love and watching the other move on and change to be someone they never knew. They are still stuck trying to grasp the idea and move on to have their own life but the person the once loved keeps coming back every once and a while every time they’ve been forgotten.
Like You Should Be
I wrote this song following a situation where I lost someone important to me, and it wasn't by my doing. I felt hurt that they weren't reacting to it, or feeling, the same as I was and I needed to get my emotions out in a health way.
Tridecagon Instrumental
Tridecadon is an instrumental piece I composed using Pro Tools, inspired by my love for alternative and esoteric rock genres. Named for a 13-sided polygon, this piece represents the intersection of complexity, elegance and and alternative flair I aim to explore with my art.
Sunset Lane
Thomas, Jolie and I originally wrote this song as part of a Berklee College of Music summer program for songwriters.
Oh Darling Baby
I've always dreamed of what a school dance would be like. I always thought that it would be just like the movies, I went to homecoming with my friends my Sophmore Year, and it wasn't quite "magical" like portrayed in the movies.
dehydrated
It's easy for me to spiral into self-loathing when I don't take care of myself. Whether that be due to a missed shower, lack of sleep, or dehydration, my brain will take and use that to justify self-loathing and feelings of hopelessness.
Emerald Castle
I love using themed metaphors in my songs, and this one is no different. Through the world of the Wizard of Oz, my song goes through the feelings of giving someone so many chances, but they never change. It’s about realizing that change is a lost cause though part of you doesn’t want to accept it.
The Vast Cosmos
This is a peice about humanities leap to the stars. it is filled with mystery and suspense as humans explore space and finely meet new people.
Through the Grey
This piece isn't about anything particular. I was just noodling around with things I thought sounded good on a new guitar I had just bought and stumbled across this progression.
Missing You
This is a song that I wrote about how when you really love someone, that love never fades or lessens. I wrote this song as a draft a couple of months ago and finished it recently.
The Second Person
I wrote, recorded and produced this song in March of 2023 in my room, with my PC, MIDI keyboard and blue bass guitar that can be heard throughout.
Bokair's Lament
This song is part of a larger project I’ve been working on. It’s one of the songs in a musical I’m writing about a soldier named Bokair, who's been tasked with leading an army against a fire goddess named Taitia in order to end her war on his homeland.
The End
I chose this song that I made not that long ago because when I think back to it and how I was doing and what I was thinking around the time I made it and I was going through a hard time. I was dealing with depression and making music and listening to music was one of the things I could hold on to, to keep me going.
Progressively Later Game
This is a musical piece in 4/4 that i made over the course of a week. It is at 156 bpm. The piece was inspired by the musical style of the cross examination themes from popular video game series Ace Attorney.
