Recent Stuff

A selection of some of my more recent tracks, all done on various PC's with various tracker software. This stuff is more along the lines of what I'm currently working on.
Shaving Day Music from my YouTube video, in which I shave! Oh, the shaving! Such shaving the likes of which you never dreamed possible!

Personal Demons We are always trying to escape our personal demons. But they seem to have a nasty habit of catching up to us...
Regrets Everyone has regrets, things they wish they could go back and change. But if we were to change those things, how would it affect who we are today?
Spy Chase An energetic, fun piece - something of an homage to one of the true pioneers of electronic music, Jean-Michel Jarre.
Video Blog Theme (Unused Version) This is the first theme I composed for my Video Blog. Although I like the piece, I found it was a bit too slow-moving and dark for what I wanted the Video Blog to be (not to mention the running time was way too long for a theme tune). So, this one was shelved and the more upbeat second version was used instead.
Video Blog Theme (Full Length Version) This is the second theme I composed for my Video Blog, the one that was actually used.
Buddies (Opening Theme) This is the opening theme I composed for 'Buddies,' a short comedy video I made with my brother for a 6-hour video competition. We had to do the entire video, from concept to finished product, in 6 hours. I somehow found time to compose some music for it during that 6 hours as well. A simple, but fun little piece.

Last of the Amiga Stuff

A selection of the last songs I made using my trusty Amiga 2000HD and various tracker programs. After these, it was time to move on to the bigger world of CD-quality 128-channel tracking on the PC. I resisted as long as I could until I came to the solemn realization that Amiga was NOT going to take over the world after all... I give credit where credit is due, however, and owe a LOT to the Amiga for getting me into using computers for composition. I learned the ropes on that old machine, and it is thanks to the skills I learned using it that I am able to do what I do now. R.I.P. Amiga, you served me well!
Jason Update 1 Theme The last full song I ever did on the Amiga. This was composed in 2002 as the opening theme for a Video Letter.
Antares In 1999, I was approached to do the music for an Amiga game demo. It was to be a grand, sweeping science fiction epic adventure. The demo would have no sound effects, only music. But alas, shortly after I finished the composition, the makers of the demo dropped of the face of the earth, never to be heard from again. So I present to you for the first time anywhere, the music I composed for what I'm sure would have been an amazing game demo.
Jason 29 Dark, brooding opening theme song for a video letter to a distant friend.
Mellow Depression Strings and subtle bass encapsulate the plodding feelings we get when unbearably depressed.
Background 1 Despite the uninteresting title, a fun little piece meant to sound like those background techno tracks radio DJ's often use when giving concert announcements and the like.
Speed Dance Another fun piece, this time a fast paced dance track with lots of interesting bits thrown in throughout.

The MODULIZED Archive

Call it the FIRST of the Amiga stuff. This collection contained pretty much everything worth listening to that I had done up to that point, including some of my very first tracks. 15 of my personal favorites from my Amiga years...
Click the picture to the left to go the archive page for my original first album release, MODULIZED. Contains the orignal album cover, all 15 tracks as mp3s, and detailed background info for each song. The original album consisted of slightly remixed versions of several of my old Amiga tracker songs, composed between 1992-99. Previously only available as a CD from mp3.com, I now offer the entire contents of the album free for download. Grab 'em before I change my mind...

If you're looking for awesome deals on DVDs, check out these guys. I bought a good chunk of my anime DVDs from them, all at about 1/4 retail price (yes, ACTUAL retail titles, not crappy bootlegs or anything like that). Seriously, this is no fluff, these guys are great!

Plus I get a few pennies for referring you to them. I don't normally do these things, but I have had nothing but good experiences with them, and am proud to recommend them to you. Also check the LINKS section for more great stores!
