The Matic (2010)

7 tracks / 20'01"

This album is a collection of themes, varying in their mood and meaning. Unlike my other albums, each piece corresponds to a video, making the music only one part of the whole.

01	The Sea Castle
	2010-08-27	3.67 MB	2'25"
	Soundtrack to the video of the same name. Heavily-influenced by pop sensibilities, car commercials, and "Buildings and Mountains" by the Republic Tigers. I ended up getting married here, actually.
02	My Chamber Life
	2010-08-27	4.20 MB	2'20"
	This started out as a solo piano piece, but took on more of a life once it got a video companion. The title doesn't quite fit the sound anymore, but I like it enough to keep it anyway.
03	In No Certain Words
	2010-08-27	3.10 MB	2'13"
	Matched with "A Day in the Life," this really makes my typical workday seem a lot more exciting than it is. I enjoy the buildup in this piece, with the heady release of tension that the big guitar chord brings.
04	King for a Weeknight
	2010-08-27	7.82 MB	5'42"
	Epic RPG-ish rock march music. Used in a video to convey the epic epicness of a recent cruise to Alaska.
05	Mellifluous
	2010-08-27	3.05 MB	1'51"
	Dorky little suspense/spy theme. Silliness abounds in the video it's used in, "TiVo on the Lam."
06	Seasoned Bedside Manner
	2010-08-27	4.30 MB	2'51"
	This piece was once the theme for "Six Easy Steps to Happiness," a short six-picture slideshow/video thingy I made about my at-the-time girlfriend's new bed's construction. I improved the instrumentation and made it a little more rocking to accompany the video "Stroganoff Delight" where I once again joined my now-wife in making something.
07	Narcissus Terminus
	2010-08-27	4.23 MB	2'39"
	Imposing title, no? My intention was for this to be played behind the opening credits for a suspenseful thriller movie. Or me skulking around my neighborhood at 11pm on a weeknight. Whatever works.
