MY MUSIC

Here are my own compositions, in reverse chronological order. As my pieces progressed, one could distinctively hear the improvement in not only technique but also sound quality.

I started out composing on PC using CakeWalk. I now use a Mac, using GarageBand.

My music can also be heard in the iComposition community, under the name heartstrain: http://www.icompositions.com/artists/heartstrain

ExitZen.mp3	A piece for Matt Cywinski's film 'Exit', very esoteric, inspired by Graeme Revell and Lisa Gerrard, as requested.
ExitMysterioso.mp3	Another piece for 'Exit', with lots of guitar, inspired by Gustavo Santaolalla, as requested.
NeverHome.mp3	Another beautiful poem by Stephanie Mankey. Same format: vocal version followed by score-only.
TutuLullaby.mp3	A music box lullaby of bittersweet innocence written for Lisa Rowny's Princess Tutu character on an online.RP.
AlizarinAutumn.mp3	Music for a poetry reading. Words by Stephanie Mankey, read by me. After the reading, the piece repeats with the music alone.

BouncyXmas.mp3	A Christmas piece made to fulfill a wanted ad on Filmmusic.net.
MyDaddy.mp3	A raunchy song inspired by the anime 'Fullmetal Alchemist': Ed, Al & Envy sing about their father. Roy makes a cameo. WARNING: explicit lyrics!
Hiero.mp3	Commissioned by a friend to score an animation promoting her book. My first work with GarageBand.
EvidenceSuite.mp3	Suite of themes from the score 'Evidence'.
Evidence.mp3	My second scoring gig, for a 10-minute short called Evidence. Much darker in tone, with an explosive action climax.
Shot.mp3	My first scoring gig. A quirky Morricone-style score for a western short directed by Daphne Vann.
Shinigami.mp3	A gothic piece. My favourite type of music.
Hero.mp3	Showcases many moods: innocent, eerie, majestic, action. But the heroic main theme is the piece's reason to be.
1M1.mp3	My first piece using Cakewalk.
