Each individual track/composition explores different ideas and techniques that are capable of making either music, or a specific sound. These ideas are then composed, arranged and recorded for your ears.
Below is a list of all the tracks in this long playlist with it's initial ideas and approaches:

1. Pilcrow - Working with sounds of cars and the street, combined with polyrhythmic piano motifs and a brush kit.

2. Live, Life, Love, Laugh - Using acoustic guitar with heavy reverb and effects, mixed with a slightly stretched audio file of children playing creates this wonderfully peaceful soundscape composition.

3. It's All About Timing - Using many contrasting drum loops playing over each other to create a sonic world of percussion. All mixed with soothing mallets and resonating bass.

4. Four Leafed Clover - Using a mixture of drones combined with a Tibetan Singing Bowl and Electric Guitar to create a soaring ambient soundscape.

5. Dreamcatcher - Using loops of guitar and a gospel choir combined with bass, piano and strings mixed with a sonic illusion, all based around sounds of ocean waves

6. AlgoRHYTHMIC - An algorithmic microtonal composition I created using the English alphabet.
I assigned every letter of the English alphabet to a 26-note microtonal scale before writing a short poem.
Then I used this poem and literally "played" each word.
After this, I edited each "word" to have its own characteristics which became this ambient piece you hear now.

7. Litost - An experimental soundscape composition using only sounds made by the human voice/mouth.

8. Clueless - Using a combination of edited audio loops and software instruments with an underlying text to speech voice.

9. Speed Of Thought - Exploring with audio loops mixed with heavily distorted Organ and Piano

10. ExperiMENTAL #1 - Working with Korg Monotron Decay Analog Synthesiser.

11. ExperiMENTAL #2 - Working with Korg Monotron Decay Analog Synthesiser.

12. ExperiMENTAL #3 - Working with Korg Monotron Decay Analog Synthesiser.

13. ExperiMENTAL #6 - Working with a Clarinet and metal bowls with the Korg Monotron Decay Analog Synthesiser.

14. ExperiMENTAL #8 - Using a famous speech from JFK, I used his voice as the "melody" to create a strange ambient soundscape.

15. ExperiMENTAL #9 - Exploring the idea of working with sonic illusions to create abstract soundscapes.

16. ExperiMENTAL #1O - Experimenting with a vocal audio loop using flex timing and time stretch with pitch shifting creating contrasting, harsh frequencies.

17. ExperiMENTAL #11 - Time stretching a vocal loop while playing ascending chromatic major chords with an organ to produce contrasting harmonies.

18. ExperiMENTAL #12 - Using a combination of modular synthesiser loops to create a time-stretched soundscape of strange sounds.

19. ExperiMENTAL #13 - Exploring sounds of the city night-life combined with sweeping effects and other interesting sounds.

20. What Was That? - Combining different sonic illusions mixed with white noise creating an interesting effect of never ending music.
