So apparently today is when daylight savings takes place in the U.S. Came into this with 8 minutes to the deadline.

This is mixed poorly.. doesn't do much.. but I managed to create a uniquish sound I think..

whatever...

Have Not the Words

Just found out my 8 year relationship is over.
This may be the most powerful song I've done.
Turn up your volume as high as you can handle.
There are a few sharp high notes.. but louder is better.

Half Bonus Entry: I started an hour before the compo started on this one..

No Wind

Started about 3 different songs and then scrapped everything..

This is what I play when I'm feeling like the moon.. cold and lonely. Just me playing randomly. No editing, first playthrough, so be gentle.

Please leave your comments.. but I have to go to work, so I'll be in the chat, but not actually there..

Peace until next week..

Nothing to do with the theme.. i guess..

Layers and layers of pianos.. most tracks played through on first go.. Every note you hear is played with my fingers.. some with my dick..

Spent the first 45 on a completely different song and then scrapped it with about 20 minutes left and started over

In the World Below the World

You descend further and further..

You can't see what is holding you.. dragging you downwards.

You find you do not care, as a warmth spreads through you.

You do not feel your lungs.. you do not need air.

You can see.. clearer than before.

You pass through an explosion of sound and light.

What you see shatters everything you ever thought was true..

A radiance beyond beauty.

You feel you never want to leave.

You feel this was always where you were meant to be.

In the world below the world.

Woke up about 30 minutes after this compo started.. so sorry for the late entry.
Really tried to stick to the theme on this one..
Didn't use the bass for once... O_O

Let me know what you think of the change in style

Leaving You

The feeling has been there your whole life..
An itch in your mind that has kept your true potential shut away

The feeling leaves you..

So go out and dance mofo... the world is yours!

The Monster Within

We finally found the most ancient and historically significant place in the history of the universe.

Too bad... inside dwells the guardian.
Inside dwells the monster...

and it just woke up

Freedom of the Fall

Eventually we all have to let go...

Inevitably, we all fall.

Maybe when we do, it wont be so bad after all.

Maybe... it's in the fall that we find freedom.

Love's Gone Wrong

Don't have my keyboard or anything set up this morning, so this is bonus entry. I played for the first time last night at bar with my brother for an open mic night.

We wrote this song a couple days ago. It has a full set of lyrics and some soloing that I did live and isn't recorded. As far as alternate dimensions go, I felt like I was in one playing in front of a hundred people.

Big chocolaty sprinkle covered Donut vote... but let me know what you think.

Out of Time

You feel the call of nature... sudden and strong..
Why here? Why now?
You stand up, desperately searching.
There are none you can see, and no more time to look...

You must go, you are out of time.
You move awkwardly, the feeling building inside you.
You have to make it..
You step outside and breath the cool air..
It helps..

You look across the street to a park nearby
You see a hippie on a skateboard run into a wall..

You shit your pants....

Shrink Ray

Your heart starts racing... The walls around you begin to shoot upwards into an endlessly expanding universe.

The ground is getting closer... you are on your feet falling.
As your room explodes outward before your eyes, your entire world is torn away, leaving you among the building blocks of each string of each fabric, woven together to construct all things.

Every sound, a whisper or a whistle, vibrates through the strings that hold creation together. All vibrations lead to you. You are the master of them.

Now you make the choices that bring to life the symphony of nature. What choices will you make?

Sometimes when writing a song, I feel a sense of adventure.
This adventure is best embarked upon with headphones and the volume up.

Normally when I compose, I stop myself from playing like a crazy person..... Being sick as a dog at the moment, decided I don't care.. This is a bit cluttered..

They Started Dancing

You watch her, with sad greedy eyes. You take your first step.. You are going to ask her. You're almost there...

However, you are beaten.. too slow were you.. your chance has passed.. She starts dancing... With someone else.

Didn't have work today, so here is a very quick piano piece.
Logged on with like 15 minutes left, so this is not the best.
Just great to finally submit again, missed you guys..

This will probably be my last OHC for some time. I am moving to Perth, Australia next week, and the the compo will be during my morning.. for at least 2 years. lol

Here is a song.. kind of repetitive, but this was the mood I was in. The OHC has literally changed my life.. I hope everyone here can understand that.
Thank you for all everything every week. I will miss you guys.

This is all Munchi.. We did a 30 minute switch off collab.. I failed on my end.. to pay tribute to his song he sent me at the half way mark.. So here it is with me having a bad time fooling around on the piano with munchi's awesome song.

Thats all

Wanted to try and fit the theme a little more on this one.. so it might not be all that great... or some may think its slow at the beginning and harsh at the end.. It is... but I guess thats the point.

This mind is dying.
