Empyrean Revelation
This song is a revelation from God, and I am truly blessed to witness the miracle of God's grace in my life.
I first wrote the main theme in 2018, and for many months I was unable to continue writing it. It was only after I moved through different phases in my life was I able to unveil the following sections.
When everything seems lost and there seems to be no way, even if you're on a burning ship being tossed about the stormy seas, turn toward the Star of the Sea, and she will point the way to empyrean light.
Stella Maris te duce per densissima tempestas.
ὁ ἔχων οὖς ἀκουσάτω τί τὸ πνεῦμα λέγει ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις. τῷ νικῶντι δώσω αὐτῷ φαγεῖν ἐκ τοῦ ξύλου τῆς ζωῆς, ὅ ἐστιν ἐν τῷ παραδείσῳ τοῦ θεοῦ.

Maharaja
This single is an instrumental journey of a king, uniting the elements of Counterpoint, Synthesis, Classical and Folk Music.
In this eight and a half minute piece, I drew upon my studies into counterpoint and audio synthesis, which I had delved into during the 2020 pandemic.
May it take you upon a magical adventure, as it always does for me.

Cosmic Odyssey
This album is a story inspired by reflections upon the beauty and unpredictability of life. It contains 9 tracks and it is divided into two sections.
The first trilogy, after the prelude represents a journey though darkness into light. It is my hope that the music will light the way for those who are lost.
The second section following the intermission takes us though several soundscapes. Enjoy the adventure as we set sail upon cosmic winds, over capricious seas, amongst the infinite stars and between whimsical mountains.

Prelude: Xotic Saedi
A short prelude to the trilogy, borrowing themes from each of the pieces woven together through counterpoint.
Tesla in Arabia
An inquisitive mind wandering the desert meets a mystical force that reveals the secrets of the universe for a price. Curiosity leads the unaware as darkness beckons. Temptation and the allure of knowledge draws the wanderer down a mysterious path. Magical forces reveal themselves, and the wanderer is lost, entangled in a web of darkness.
Piper's Dream
Enter a dream of an enchanted forest, where all who are lost wander in darkness, chasing their deepest desires while being chased by shadows. Running in circles, going nowhere, the darkness envelops and beasts reveal themselves, but through the darkness the wanderer travels, and he eventually emerges as the nightmare comes to an end, forever changed by the wild encounters.
Celestial Salvation
The spiritual realm reveals itself, a higher power watches as the wanderer strays into the devil’s den. Ensnared by schemes and ploys, all hope seems to be lost. As night progresses, the point of death draws closer, and closer.. till the angels reveal themselves to have always been protecting the wanderer, and he leaves the cursed abode unharmed. Now the wanderer no longer wanders in darkness, but walks in the light. Although the darkness desperately attempts to thwart his progress, the light triumphs. Salvation.
Intermission
A short break from the intense adventure from darkness into light, this intermission ushers in the next trilogy of soundscapes. As the clock strikes twelve as we embark on a mythical ship that transcends the cosmos.
Gold in the Midnight Skies
We begin our journey on the high seas. Tranquil and calm at first, but the skies soon darken. We emerge at full speed through the rocky waters, before delving headfirst into a bigger storm. When all seems lost, angelic beings lift the ship from the depths, and launch it into space.
Cosmic Odyssey
We are now on a journey through the stars of a magical universe, phasing through portals to different dimensions as peculiar oddities pass you by. Let the music guide you through this fascinating adventure.
Orient
We arrive in the far east. Three instruments converse, and although it seems like they may be speaking about the same thing, the conversation gets convoluted, and just as it seems like the topic is trailing off into many different directions, they begin to dance in harmony. The second section sees us jumping through various iterations of the soundscape, landing us at our final destination.
Epilogue
The epilogue sums up the expedition, weaving in themes from the previous three tracks to close the album.
Bach Synthesis
Learning more about wavetable synthesis and Bach’s music during the 2020 pandemic, I combined the knowledge he gathered into an album featuring each of 15 of J.S Bach’s inventions played with a wavetable synthesizer, with each song having a unique tone synthesized from scratch.
As Bach’s inventions are written in the style of two-part counterpoint (two separate melodies being played simultaneously, in harmony), the two melodies are separated into the left and right speakers to give the listener a unique listening experience.
