Unfinished Business

Track 1: Unfinished Business Inspired by a music cue from one of my animation projects, this can of loops went together in a couple hours on the afternoon of 30 April 2024, and inspired me to continue doing more—at least for as long as I was alive. Track 2: Drum Addict Yes, been there, done that, several times. But I can't resist piling on drum samples, and each time I do it, I try to make it more aesthetically pleasing. This one is leavened by a joyous synth melody. Track 3: The Other Side Even though I don't believe in life after death, I enjoy imagining it, especially in the context of sound and music. Here I present the idyllic realm of the afterlife: calm, serene, comfortable, unblemished by pain or strife. The track starts off a little uneasily, representing that transition from the world of the living to the space of souls, but then it all comes together sublimely. Track 4: Myths of Technology Likely one of my more "aggressive" tracks, Myths utilizes a 50-50 mix of hand-crafted percussion and commercial loops. And, once again, as one might predict, percussion is the main focus. Track 5: I Can Do This I'd always wanted to produce a track that relied heavily on string samples. And now, at long last, here it is.

In May of 2024 I found myself very rapidly descending into final stage congestive heart failure. When I found that I was
unable to continue the animation work I'd begun, I returned to music, and was surprised to find I was still able to put
Tab A into Slot B and create some enjoyable stuff. So, here is a collection of tunes created literally by a dying man.
