Mirage
The oldest track of the EP, this track came about when I was taking music composition lessons with Patrick Conlon at ACM@UCO during my undergrad. At the time, my now-wife and her parents were out of town, and I was house-sitting, so I had a limited music creation setup. All I had was my laptop and a Korg padKONTROL, which forced me to think outside of the realm of a keyboard and play the music with a 16x16 grid. With some suggestions from Patrick and some more tweaking, "Mirage" became an experience entirely within itself, and is one of my favorite things I've ever made.
Originally released on my SoundCloud on September 17th, 2016, and has been subsequently performed at Electric Pizza concerts with Power Cycle.
