Scm '05
| Bodiless | A bit of a mix - DnB drums and bass with trance melodies and breakdowns. Uplifting and energetic. |
| Melded | A 4 beat stomper. When i wrote it i used the same vst for the bass and main synth as a temp but then when i tried to change em later it didnt work so they stayed. |
| Elec135 | An ambienty bigbeat number. Slow melodies and breaky drums. |
| Doc | Happy melodic hardcore. Bin tryin the main melody in different styles since 96 but think im finally happy with it now. Cudnt b arse with a starting section so its just build up then straight in. |
| I'm Coming | A bit of harder one - gabber with a bit of a melody. big drum with a synth and a noise - an energetic foot stomper. |
| Ghosts | A darker bit of hardcore - abit clostrophobic and moody. Tried something different with kick - its got very little highs and mids so you tend to feel it more than hear it, but needs decent speakers or it just vanishes. |
| Roraima | A multiple break based ambienty, paddy little number. Starts of slow then gets a bit steppy, mixing up slow and fast drums. |
| Showdown | A harsh steppers with a squelchy sorta distorted midrange tune and a wobbly pad. |
| Sounds of the Dying | A harder speedcore type track with a bit of a breakbeat. Playing around with the different sounds and rhythms i can get out of the bass drum. |
| Silica | A tuney little hardcore number with a thumpin kick and the melody played around between two synths. |
| Canal du Midi | A calm rolling track, with a piano leading over a nice bass and break. |
| Hydrogenated | An ambient downbeat number. Drums and percussion around a synth melody and harmonies. |
| TCB | A slightly melodious gabber track with a nice sorta screechy lead synth and big ass kick |
| Boosh | A harder driving bit of hardcore. Nice tricked out kick and harsh main synth that develops through the track. |
| DreamDance 7 - Melany | Starts with the main melody on a piano and builds adding a cello and counter melody on flute while the main theme is played around an oboe and the piano. Bit of an odd 1 this - the piano/oboe theme came to me at the bus stop and just sorta started whistlin the flute part doin the ironing! |
| Pentatonia | A simple piece on the piano. A bit sequencey - it builds on a 4 bar phrase, then gets all chordy. Written mainly in a pentatonic scale (never have guessed eh?). Started out as an attempt to do a piano house style gabber track - that didnt work but i liked the piano bit i had so i just kept that and developed it some more. |
| Gabber 4 | A kinda minimal gabber. Quite a long intro - but i just loved the way the kick sounded at all these different frequencies as i was effecting it, theres a nice bass warbling with the long decay, and a waaaar sound at the higher freqs. For me it really builds the mood of the song until the main drum comes in. Not really any melody - just a beep that comes in fully bout halfway through. A hard track to convert from the wav - it kept getting a weird high noise on the kick - so iv had to encode it at 224kbit - its probably only me that would notice it - but hey what can you do? |
Scm '04
| DreamDance 5 - Synth Dreams | Main themes using a harp and a koto around a simple main chord sequence built with pads, an electric piano, strings and light percussion. |
| DreamDance 6 - The Calm Before | A piano and flute driven piece. Quite calm and uplifting. I may be biased - but it just makes me feel good when I listen to it. |
| DreamDance 4 - Piano | An echoey piano led piece. I also killed it with a new GM-sweep pad - it just sounds so good - especially when it harmonises in the later sections of the song. Apart from that - some strings, more pads and some tinkly synths. |
| Bells | Hard Trance with abit of the Think break thrown in for good measure. I always loved the sound of church/tubular bells so here they are, and past the build-up they're almost never gone. Quite a pounder, not as much as the hardstyle mix (obviously!) but it still storms! |
| Bells - Hardstyle Mix | Distorted kick drums, myriad synths, off beat bass, long break downs- and them pesky bells again. Sorry but i just love em - and they're only here in spirit - in the form of the bastard son of trance and gabba that is Hardstyle. So, yes its another mix of Bells - but i like it so there :P Maybe il get a DnB version out of it then il quit - honest. Maybe a Dreamdance - but thats the last i swear. |
| Bells - brk + bldless mix | A second version of Bells I just started doing for some reason - well I do just love the way that bell sounds and I wanted to explore some ideas that would have been out of place on the original. More of a straight trance version with the synth leading first ahead of the bells, afew more synth parts and no breakbeat. No long buildups or sections without drums - felt I did that enough in the original mix. |
| Beat Kicks | A mostly instrumental trance/hard trancer. Has two main themes sorta playing against each other, then merging in the final section. First trance song iv done for about 2 years, along with the Bells mixes, after being in a DnB/Downbeat phase. Which is kind of good as the practise iv had elsewhere meant i got out of the 'throw every pad and string i could find at it' technique i was digging myself into... |
| Destruction | More hardstyle madness - this time with abit of an acid riff playing off against a 'gentler' pad section. Oddly for me - it gets going quite quickly - its off and running by before the two minute mark - crikey! A nice distorted 909 kick pounds through the track, and the pads and string work well against the acid riff - a sorta eye-of-the-storm effect |
| Prescription | A bit of gabber. The drum (a nice buzzer i got from a ts404 emu) gets going from the start and the melody is built up in stages then comes in full force after a cupla minutes and a nice breakdown. Starting to get a better sound now i pre-compress and limit the drums and synths before putting them on the soundfont. |
Scm '03
| Dolly Parton - Jolene (Scm big beat mix) | A sorta minimal big beat version of Jolene, just drums and a guitar and vocals |
| Chant | A downbeat, trip-hop sorta thing. A harp, some chanting, the amen break and a big ass bass after a minute or two - it takes a little time to get going. |
| Professionalism | |
| 303 Amen | Quite a simple track - a pad, a sub and the unchopped amen break (twice). Nothing special but strangely head-nod inducing. |
| Hangin Around | A bit of minimal one - just the bass and the drums and percussion. |
| Fanfare (drummed mix) | A purely percussive dnb track using the amen break, hats, a timpani and cymbal - made to see if it gave me any ideas for a remix of Fanfare for the Common Man i wanted to do, but nothings happened yet! |
| Midnight | An ambient-ish DnB track. A piano, a bass, the amen break and some percussion. Starts with the piano then builds gradually once the drums and bass kick in. |
| Step 2 It | |
| He Scheids | A quite hard gabba track. Screaming and drums. I heard this style of track back in the mid-late 90`s but didnt hav the know-how or facilities - but now I do so here it is. |
| Manga | I wanted to an overdrive guitar based song - and here it is. A nice bit of a guitar riff and distorted bass drum. Pounding along! |
| Duet for Cello and Piano | A sedate piece with the cello taking the lead, switching to the piano - then back to the cello. Thoughtful and a touch sorrowful. |
| String Quartet | A lively piece for a string quartet. The theme is played around the different instruments before building to the final full sequencing. |
Scm '00 - 02
| Scm '00 - Peace and Quiet | A nice bit of melody driven trance. Starts of gentle then switches to a harder style and synth bout half way thru. I did this one afew years ago - so the productions not as polished as now - but its still good for its ideas. |
| Scm '01 - Dark Trance | |
| Scm '01 - Piano | A piano led trance number, synths n strings n more synths n pads n percs. The original trance version of DreamDance 4 |
| Scm '01 - String Section | |
| Scm '01 - Synthetic | A flowing trancer |
| Scm '01 - Trance in E | melodic trance piece - starts with strings then moves into the main synths/drums. Starts with a short theme, then gets a longer 2 phrase melody over the top of it. |
| Scm '02 - 303x3 | A trance/hard dance track. Using only a 303 [emulator :(] to make the bass, phrase synth and lead. Builds steadily then pounds! |
| Scm '01 - Real American | |
| Scm '00 - Gabba Funk | A funky guitar and a fast low buzzy kick. |

| Scm '00 - Sweep and Rave | |
| Scm '00 - The Only Way Out | |
| Scm '01 - Darkcore | |
| Scm '00 - Time and Again | A quite paddy happy hardcore tune with trance inklings. The main tune is hinted at through the first part of the tune while the parts and chord sequence build then come in full force bout half way through. |
| Scm '02 - InstruMental (Hard house mix) | A Hard House version of the original InstruMental. I just loved that lead synth so much I wanted to write another song with it - but then its so distinctive I couldnt really make a whole new song - so remix it was! Keeps some of the elements from the original - the octave drop for the main synth and the break and fx sample all wrapped up a new hard house wrapping - complete with whaomp bass and 909 kick. |

| Scm '00 - Fascinating Rhythm (Judy Garland Remix) | |
| Scm '01 - Funk the Bass | A bit of big beat. An 303 riff plays off a nice bassline and a break. I played around with the effects abit on the 303 part and the bass line gets all cut up in second half of tune |

| Mad Max - Syntax - Scm Fletch Mix | A remix of Mad Max's chip music remix of the theme from the film Fletch by Harold Faltermeyer |
| Scm '01 - DreamDance 1 | Just seems to flow. A slow development of a melody with pads and a harpish lead synth. |
| Scm '01 - DreamDance 2 | Starts with a church bell and some sweeps and slowly builds the melody on the piano and harp. Theres also some strings, an organ and tinkly thing and pads. |
| Scm '01 - DreamDance 3 | A little bit of everything really - the think break, pads, a piano, flutes, tinkly things, organs, strings all playing around a 4 bar chord seq - marvelous! |
