First draft of chapter 5 with music. There is now a draft of every chapter, yay!

Probably still needs a bit of tweaking, but this is a decent first draft of the music for this chapter.

Here's a first take at chapter 6. It's a bit of a beast because there are so many tonal changes in the text, but I think this is getting close to where I want it.

Another chunk of music that I came up with for part of the Hardcore Prophecy project that I think I'm going to abandon. I sorta like it for what it is, but it's not useful for the spot it's slated for.

So this is basically an offcut - something I had initially started on for Chapter 6 of the Hardcore Prophecy project but then I decided it didn't really work for what I was using it for. Still got some nice bits in it musically, so here it is in its unfinished state, for what it's worth.

Hardcore Prophecy: Chapter 7, version 1.0 by Dan Warren

Hardcore Prophecy: Chapter 10, version 1.0 by Dan Warren

Hardcore Prophecy: Chapter 2, version 1.1 by Dan Warren

Hardcore Prophecy: Chapter 1 version 1.2 by Dan Warren

Hardcore Prophecy: Chapter 4, version 1.0 by Dan Warren

Updated version of chapter 3. The old Chapter 4 has now been folded into the end of Chapter 3, so I deleted the old Chapter 4 just to avoid confusion.

Okay so here's a first draft of chapter 8 with music. And before you go looking for chapters 5-7, I haven't uploaded drafts of those yet. I'm doing the music a bit out of order as I get ideas that I like. I also recently posted a video about how I'm doing the words for this stuff (and for Son of Strelka), in case you're interested in the process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTSFDMfEjqQ&t=3s

Okay so for reasons I won't go into I had a spot in a project where I wanted something that was "reminiscent of Yakety Sax but sad, weird, and awful". I had the genius idea to just download a midi rendering of Yakety Sax, twiddle the scale around until it was (approximately) in a diminished key, and then run it through some software instruments. This is the result. I'm not going to be using it for...

Okay, so I've kinda decided (for now) that the 2020 project is now called Hardcore Prophecy: The Trump of Doom. Here's a draft of chapter 2, that it just sorta setting the scene for Trump to appear. Music is still pretty much just a sketch.

Sketch of the middle chunk of chapter 4(?) of my new audio collage project thingy. The story at this point is currently planned to be that Trump orders mandatory polygamy. Congress complies, but it quickly devolves into a frenzy of cannibalism along party lines.

A draft of chapter 3 of my new audio fuckery project.

Put some polish on the words and beefed up the music a bit. Still maybe not final, but closer.

First draft of the Prologue for my new audio pastiche project, tentatively entitled "2020". Words are from Dan Carlin's Hardcore History and Common Sense, recut by yours truly. Music is a rough draft but at the moment I'm into it.

Just absolutely foolish music. This is maybe ten years old, and I literally can't remember why I made it.

Another old one, uploaded by request.

A song from waaaayyyy back, by Love Button. Uploaded by request.

Channelling The Cars a bit on this one. Loosely based on a dream I had a few years ago. Unfortunately the vocals are a bit distorted, which is entirely down to me not quite knowing how to use my new mic and Apollo Twin yet. I'll go back and redo them some day when I get my shits together.
