NOTES: What if you had a warning telling you when you were about to die? What if you knew how much time you had before you die? What if it was 8.5 seconds? I know what I would do. Hopefully, I would be in a very crowded public place, like a bus or in a school. Then, from out of nowhere, I’d have this sound start blaring at ear-deafening levels. I would shriek at the top of my lungs and thrash around, right before I burst into a blaze of flaming glory and set at least 15 people on fire.

NOTES: This is an original tune I originally wrote for the Composition Combat competition at remixsite.org, until I found out how stupid the voting system was going to be. Well…at least I got a new song out of it. E.S. Posthumous style using my Orchestra libraries. It’s still in somewhat of a draft format, but I wont be completing it for a while.

NOTES: This was originally written by my Candian friend, Mike Morgado. I took the little bit he wrote and made it METUHL. Unfortunately, Mike dissapeared off of the face of the earth and I haven’t talked to him in well over a year. He is missing and presumed dead. This song also features another one of my only vocal performances! This one’s for you, you damn Candian. Talk to me when you finally get your MSN working again.

NOTES: This song was written for an online forum guitar solo competition. Being that the forum was on a Metal board, I wanted to write a backing track that would force the participants to venture outside their comfort zones a little bit. Almost all of the backing tracks that had been in competitions in the past were the same crappy blues-shred tracks. This one is much, much different. I will be expanding upon this a little more so there will be lead melodies instead of it sounding like just a backing track.

NOTES: This was my first idea for a Senior Recital for my high school. In the process of writing this song, I found the most cartoony, well-known songs that didn’t entirely suck and threw them all together in one gigantic medley. The instrumentation was setup for the 6 then-seniors in my high school’s drumlne. The songs are as follows:

• Mario (Overworld and Underworld)
• The Enzyte Theme
• Popcorn by Hot Butter (Old 70′s hit)
• Intro to a Weird Al polka
• Benny Hill theme
• Country Music by Stu Hamm
• Play That Funky Music
• Country Music again
• Rapper’s Delight
• Country Music the third time
• The Dance Of Eternity (Honky Tonk Break) by Dream Theater
• Family Guy Theme
• "Woo Hoo" by the 5 6 7 8′s
• The Simpsons’ Theme
• McDonald’s Jingle

NOTES: My High School’s band director, Kent Jones, isn’t exactly known for saying the most appropriate things. During our Marching Band senior awards ceremony, I stuck my mp3 player on top of a piano and recorded every word he said. Then I took every word he said, cut it up, and made a generic techno song out of it. Kent Jones, your creeperness has now been immortalized, and now the whole world will know.
