A jazz ballad I wrote in January 2009. This performance is from March 2015. Click here for the version sung by Arvon Brunt.
“Disheveled Conformity”
Written by Mage in 2007. 12-tone piece for five parts. The audio sample is NOT a recording; it is the output of the notation software Sibelius.
“Sorry, No Win”
Aleatoric piece.
These notes below are written as is and may not contain proper grammar or capitalization.
-title is determined by what was in the pan on scratch n win
-selected 6 instruments because there are 6 sets of numbers on my scratch n win
-selected 6/8 because there are 6 sets of numbers, but it is not necessarily going to feel 6/8

“Harbour’s Wings”
Fast latin tune.
“Nowhere” featuring Arvon

“Shedding the Ashes”
The single and music video “Shedding the Ashes” was released on June 18, 2008. Thanks goes out to Sharon Lockwood (make-up), Mark O’Halloran (special appearance), and Kyle France (editing and filming). Video link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1oRzGr0dmXE .
Shedding the Ashes
tangled twisted tied
into a knot of nothingness
fed from and feeding into fear
change would break this all
but i fear disorder
cut the chains of stress
or lie here unmoving
no need to sulk in helplessness
you have yourself to move
your surroundings change only
if you stand up and walk forward on
burn the scars into ashes
then shed them behind you
run fast to create winds
to blow the remains far away
stand above what burned you
allow the water to drown it
don’t let it resurface undone
douse it into a trophy
once was tangled twisted tied
into a knot of nothingness
fed from and feeding into fear
embrace the future
for the past is why you left
and now you are ahead
toward the gaping twilight
no need to sulk in helplessness
you have yourself to move
your surroundings change only
if you stand up and walk forward on

“Nothing to Me”
I wrote the main guitar riff of this song back in 2002, but I did not finish writing the entire song until 2007.
Nothing to Me

you steal coin by scamming them with your bullshit lies
you oughta pay
you ain’t nothing to me Read more ““Nothing to Me””
“Mage’s Revenge”
One of my early works written in 2002 and recorded in 2004. This is a metal instrumental featuring odd meters.
