This is some of my work. I wrote and performed all the music unless otherwise noted.
A lot of these were created for theater plays written by Ximena Faralla -who owns "On the Road Theatre Company".
Instead of having full names these pieces have codes most of the time. For example, "3m2" means "Scene 3, music 2".
This is very much like film music where reel and cue number are indicated.
Note: Being a musician/sound engineer, sound quility is very important to me. These adio clips might take a little
while to load on slow connections because they were encoded in high quality.

Producer: Alexander Sartakov (Russia)
Engineer: Julian Vidal
This is by far the weirdest and most demanding project I had to record while at college. Alex's idea was to record a bunch of people improvising so that we could then edit the raw material and create another piece of music that had nothing to do with the original. Well, it looks like "a bunch" has a whole other meaning to Alex. In the first recording session for this project we ended up cramming an electric guitar player, a MIDI guitar player, a DJ (turntables and all), a bass player, a pianist, a keyboardist, a sax player, and two drummers (yes, two) into Berklee's studio A.
The first take was so long that it went over the available recording time for a full length 2 inch tape, so we had to pull up ProTools and create a session on the fly, switch recording mediums while the players were still playing, so that we wouldn't lose any second of music.
This session was followed by more drum recording sessions, DJ, guitar, bass, and whatnot sessions. Never ending editing and mixing hours were needed to complete this strange, strange music.

An excellent solo piano prelude. The original idea was to get a more "classic" sounding piano, but it was very difficult to get with the actual Yamaha piano available. Running time 02:27Do I Cry - Production:Music Production and EngineeringWritten and performed by: Ruth Ling (Singapore)

This song is part of a three song set we recorded along with This Fool, and The Right Time. This is an orchestral ballad. We would have loved to have a bigger orchestra for this song. Since we didn't, we ended up doubling some sections to get a thicker sound.
