This is the first track in the album, "+5 Degrees EP." This is an album comprised of many pieces of differing styles as a way of learning the ropes of Electronic music.
I wrote this track for the purpose of being the first in the album, so it has a pretty minimal and long intro compared to the other tracks in this album. I still really like the custom arpeggio in this track.

![Under the Needle :: DK Country remix - Aquatic Ambiance
Under The Needle is a new series where I will publish very lo-fi chillout music, except its not necessarily going to be considered an album. I may eventually compile a few of my favourites and release them as an album, but this is mostly just going to be considered a sort of categorized series of releases. I dont want to feel beholden to compile and create these pieces with some form of continuity burden over my shoulders.
This is one of my favourite SNES pieces. I love the chords that were chosen and the pitch-warped melody, so I made a remix. I wanted this one to stay mostly true to the original, so I only added a few alterations to the melodies.

![Gilded Antiquity :: Sleep Meditation - Frozen Plains
Gilded Antiquity is a series of ambient/soundtrack where I release medieval, renaissance, and fantasy themed music pieces. Its not necessarily an album, but it is a series of musical pieces that are categorized together for ease of sorting.
This is my first piece where I work with vocals in this particular way. I wanted this piece to feel very period-accurate with instruments while also making it extremely ambient and relaxing.

I was messing around with an acoustic piano sound from an snes chipset and created the fundamental chords for the piece. I went for a different percussive style and messed around with some new synths.

I wanted to do a remix of Yoshis Underground level because I really love the arpeggios and bassline. I experimented quite a lot with some motifs and bits of melody, while also adding my own content.

I wanted to do a remix of one of my favourite Kirby soundtrack pieces, Quiet Forest. I wanted it to be familiar enough for those who are nostalgic for Kirby 64 to recognize, while also allowing myself complete creative freedom - such as adding a new theme in the style of Kirby.

I went a little different for this one. Im not too sure if it fits in a particular genre, but it certainly has some groove to it and uses traditional Eastern instruments.

![Depressive House - Demossion
This is the first track in the album, Depressive House. This album focuses on dark, ambient, and down-tempo variations of the House genre. It focuses on not only depression, as in the emotional state, but also on the sense of keeping things down-tempo and slow.
I was aiming for a bit more grind and harshness with this track. I figured the chord progression was a pretty great match for the revving up feeling I was aiming for.

![Gilded Antiquity :: Medieval Ambiance - Mead Hall
Ive been wanting to make some very atmospheric music that could fit as a soundtrack to a game or a movie. Most my electronic music is very thematic anyway, so I felt I should open up and just make some thematic music.
This piece is imagined in a medieval mead hall. Its quite chill and relaxing. Its played by a Nylon Acoustic Guitar, Violin, Tambourine, Irish Flute, and some ambient voice effects. I believe its the first piece I wrote in Dorian mode, but Im not too sure about that.

I wrote this piece around a chord progression that I sort of accidentally threw together while playing around on the piano. There is a break in the piece that does have some variation to this chord, but its mostly really progressive and sticks to the same progression throughout.

![CityHop :: Lo-Fi Chillhop - Good Evening
This album is focused around cityscapes at various types of day in a chillhop genre. Chillhop is heavily focused on samples and splicing them up, but I try to avoid sampling in this album, unless where absolutely necessary.
I wanted this track to be a bit more simple, but remain bright in character, since I wanted it to be placed around mid-day in character. Its also one of the shorter pieces, but this was intentional since it is in the middle of the album. I also used the stereotypical pop-music key change technique of moving up half a step in a very abrupt manner. I prefer smooth and interesting modulations, but it served its purpose.

This is one of my favourite pieces in Pokemon Pearl, so I decided to remix it a bit. I experimented a bit with this piece and worked it as sort of a medley with some other themes from the same game. Its probably not even close to the chillhop genre, to be honest.
