Black Coffee
Black Coffee is finally being released to the public. This song started back in early 2012 but something was missing from it. After coming back to it every now and then, I think it’s now complete. This song features a latin based percussion set with synths and harpsichords. The melody uses a reggae style rhythm throughout the song which was inspired by a jam sesh with my buddy Drew and his acoustic guitar. Enjoy a sip of some Black Coffee!! Continue reading

Cathedral Turntable with Composed Music

Overall I am very pleased with final result. Continue reading

Cathedral Lighting Complete – Final Renders
The Cathedral lighting is complete with the final renders below. Lights have been added to the scene to simulate a bright 3pm sun. Most of my projects have either been at night time or during sunset. I wanted to mix things up and add some variety to my portfolio, so I made the cathedral a normal town building during the day.
Since lights are very easy to set up, I’m going to work on a nighttime version of the cathedral next. The stained glass will really stand out when it’s illuminated by candle light and emerges out into the dark night. Continue reading
