Life
Life is my debut album, personal this is still my favourite of my albums. Because when I wrote this album, I was in a pretty dark place. The only way to express my emotions was thought writing songs and this album is a great example of that. I did not know how to use pro tools very good so the recording quality suffered a bit. But that does not take away how personal this album is to me. "I Was A Hero" did make some air time on ABC Local Radio North Queensland. This is the only song i have made that has been on the radio.

Lost Photos
Lost Photos is my seconded album, it was written over the corse of a week during the school holidays of 2014. This album contains many good songs, however one is very close to me. "It's All Up To Me Now", one night during the school holidays I received a letter from my school explaining that i had failed year 10 english. My parents were quite upset with letter and had a talk with me that night. They told me i should join the army and not finish high school. After the talk that night i became very depressed, i pulled up my web cam and sang a song into it of the top of my head. The song went for about seven minutes and the quality was average. I released it on to my youtube page that night before crying myself to sleep that night. The next morning i listened to the song on youtube and i was very surprised how good it sounded. I wrote down the lyrics and chord progression and rerecorded the song that day. The rest of the tracks on this album were written for the fun of it and because I had nothing else to do. This was also the album were I decided to make proper music videos. "Lost Photos" was recored on a samsung galaxy s4 in the middle of flinders street during the local town markets. It also included to the left the cafe "Two Brothers Cafe" were the album art was sketched by Jasmine Jean Martin. The video was an original concept of was planed on the day while i was busking on the streets. "Shapeshifter" was recorded on top of Mt Stuart over looking my hometown Townsville. This video was also an original concept but took a bit of planing due to wind, weather and the local abseilers. "Let's Walk" aka "Rise Up" was filmed as a part of the Townsville Relay For Life 2014. This video took a lot of planing, with the help of my family, friends, teachers, staff and all the participants at the relay. The video ended up to be one of my finest works of editing and was also selected and a nomination for a Queensland Music Award for Best Music Video. The video was dedicated to all those who have either had cancer or care for someone with cancer. "The Secret Trio" wish is a reference to three Disney heroes that are rumoured to be in the same universe Randy Cunningham, Danny Fenton and Jake Long. The music video tells the story how a relationship goes from bad to murder. The video was filmed over one night in Townsville. Featuring locations like The Strand, City Lane, Flinders Street East, Pie Face Townsville and The Precinct. Also during the clip the are many random flashes of my childhood cartoons like Bionicle, XLR8 and American Dragon. This album is very good and is well deserved a listen, this is also my seconded shortest album to date.

Error 404
Error 404 is my third album. This album was written over the course of a few months and took a few week to post-edited before it was realesed. The are not real emotional songs on this album, however this album contains song famous names in it. "Dying In A Single Moment Ft. Jasmyn Chase" was written as a part of the Townsville Creative Technologies College Songmakers Workshop. Robert Conley and Katie Noonan were co-creators of this four minute punk-rock anthem, using there musical techniques and our song writing abilities. This song was created over a two day period. The band FX's provided bass and drums, Jasmyn Chase provided lead vocals while I provided lead guitar/vocals and lyrics. Robert Conley produced the track on the day before I put my own finishing touch on it back in the studio. The music videos for this album were a lot more easier than the last album. "Great Song" features a stone lasers and a dark room while i play along with the song. At the end of the video the light is turned on reviling my room. Covered with posters and other musical equipment. "Razar Blade" was filmed over one day in my bed room. Using stop motion animation it tells the story of a lego toy trying to find he's wings. It creates the idea that toys are alive when you are not see them. Like the toy cars racing while army figures watch as if they are a crowd. This is also my only animated music video. "Open Eyes" is filmed in a virtual crash simulator called BeamNG Demo V1.2. It basically shows a crash happing in reverse. Basic yet effective. "Anymore is another simple yet effective video. It shows a river bed wish moves back and forth with the wind. Noting happens until the last note of the song, when a large salt water crocodile leaps from the water at the camera. This filmed at The Billabong Sanctuary just outside of Townsville. This album has the most amount of songs on it and will be kept in the back of my mind forever.

Blue Tattoo
Blue tattoo is my fourth album, and is another one of my personal albums. There are only nine tracks on this album, however only three of them are single and they are all acoustic. "Dragons" music video was filmed using some special effect and slight of hand. Having my head sing the song on the screen while i hand out pieces of paper with the lyrics written on them. It took a few attempts but the final product is a true masterpiece. "Blue Tattoo was filmed using photo booth on the hologram setting inside the Mac. Very basic yet sets the tone of the song very well. "I Have A Dream is coming soon.

Freedom Is One Shot Away
This is my fifth album. The themes in this album are quite apparent, War is hell. The whole album charts the story of a young teen who is forced in to the first World War. Each song represents a new phase in he's life and shows how he breaks down of the years. However not all the songs are war based. The song "Not Out For 63*" is a tribute song to deceased Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes. The song was written and recored while his funeral was played live on tv. The music video was filmed while the song was being recorded. The other music video "Run To The Hills" is a very dark and confronting view of the first world war. Featuring real World War 1 it is an unbelievably emotion video to say the least. This is the longest of all my album and took a little over two mouths to make.
Tracks on "Freedom Is One Shot Away" (Released on the 1st of March, 2015) 1. The Last War (7:12) 2. Masquerade (4:13) 3. Freedom Is One Shot Away (5:14) 4. Never Back Down (3:35 5. Run To The Hills (4:43) 6. We Fall Differently (4:52) 7. Nothing I Can Do (4:56) 8. Prepare For The Fight (3:40) 9. One Last Time (4:37) 10. Classified (4:57) 11. Wings (5:22) 12. Not Out For 63* (5:10) |

Tritus
This is my sixth album. "Tritus" the first single is basically a love song and tells the stores of a relationship on rough ground, but in the end all will work out for them. The music video was filmed in Wulguru on the top of a hill looking over Townsville. Using editing techniques I create the illusion that i am teleporting all over the place. Again and original concept that works with the song. The second single "Out Of My Face" is a hard rock anthem, there is no real meaning to the song but if anything it basically means get out of my face. The music video was filmed in my bed room, using sone flashing lights and an inferred camera it creates and unusual setting for a music video. The music video for "Let Me Dream" is filmed on top of castle hill in Townsville. The first and last shot are shot in Townsville, However thought-out the rest of the video it shows a montage of a small town called forest beach witch is 10klm from Ingham. The video is very peace fall and ambient.
(Released on the 6th of April, 2015) Tracks: 1. 1,2,3,4 (2:37) 2. Heart Of A Seeker (4:25) 3. I Am The Dragon (4:03) 4. Kindle (4:11) 5. Overkill (4:25) 6. Yeast (2:58) 7. Out Of My Face (3:08) 8.

Usually to make a full album takes a couple of months. This one will be done in a few weeks. The first single was filmed up against a wall inside my house, the lyrics are shown over my face. The video is a play on the sentence "You took the words right out of my mouth", a famous lyric by Meatloaf. The song is a basic love song with meaning lyrics and a heavy guitar ending. The second single "The Life That Never Ends" was filmed inside a small forest along the bank of the Ross River about one hundred metres away from Aplins Weir. The song is a basic modern rock song, with relatable lyrics and a catchy chorus. During the music video it shows some shots of my first short film "Take One" witch I directed and stared in.

Let Me Out
This is my 8th free studio album, and my most complex sounding album. There are lots of different techniques used in this album compared to my past seven. This is the first album to consist of a bass guitar. This album tells the story of a troubled relationship. Both characters pass away in the course of the album. The album can relate to the majority of the public or to anybody who is in the same situation as the characters in this album. The album name "Let Me Out" comes from the idea of either he or she who is in a relationship, one of them has had enough and wants to levee but the other wants to stay together, Hence the tittle "Let Me Out".
(Released on the 10th of June, 2015) Tracks: 1. Novacane In Your Veins (4:28) 2. Let Me Out (5:29) 3. Take It Out On Me (3:38) 4. Awaken Me (4:45) 5. A Better Place (5:21) 6. Can I Come Out Now (3:19) 7. You Under Me (4:58) 8. In My Arms (4:05) 9. Monster (3:45) 10. The Confession (3:59) |
