This is the complete 13-piece song cycle inspired by planetary objects in our solar system. These were all composed as part of commission for @johnowhitaker. All were performed on the Roland JDxi except Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune which were composed in GarageBand on the iPad. Album art was created using VQGAN-CLIP.

Pastel Patchwork

17 soundscapes composed on the iPad in GarageBand incorporating Alchemy synths, samples, and kinetic mixing.

During a trip to the US in July and August 2021, I composed this series of soundscapes while on the road using GarageBand on my iPad. The variety and complexity of these songs shows the expressive power of composing on a tablet using Alchemy synths, samples, aftertouch and kinetic soundshaping. Hearing them together here provides an opportunity to appreciate how the songs evolved and became more atmospheric as my confidence on the instrument increased.
