| Introduction | |||||||
|
"And Computers Rejoice" is the first album I have put together of various pieces of music I have composed in my small home studio. It was produced using various synthesizers and sound modules, sequenced together using a computer music package. This page lists all the tracks on the album with a brief description of the track as well as a short exerpt (mp3). Please contact me if you would like a full length version of the track (Full downloads have recently been removed due to space restrictions) |
