Time Levels
(© Dec 2007) — Second experimental electronic piece. Modulates from
A flat Phrygian --> G flat Harmonic Minor.
Dead Alive
(Dec 2008) — Sonic study #1 - This piece symbolizes an intense struggle
followed by an end to the suffering. There are 3 movie quotes. Can you
identify the actors?
WWS Theme
(Feb 2009) — I was asked to recreate the theme to the Wide World of Sports
(originally composed by the brilliant Charles Fox) for a retirement ceremony.
They needed the music without Jim McKay's voice-over.
Bring That

There's riff I recreated? Do you know from which song? Thanks to my
homie Ray for the vocals.

for identifying 3 or more. No Shazam or Sound Hound cheats please ;P
