Music by Joe Harrison

In my spare time, when I'm not mixing audio dramas or hosting podcasts, I love to compose music. Sometimes it's music I imagine being in a motion picture. Sometimes it's music I imagine being in a video game. Either way, composing music is really something I love to do and often consider going for as a serious 'job'. There is just one problem... I can't read music notes.
 
All my music is played by ear; I hum the tune first, then find the right notes on the piano and play it.
 
While I love composing original pieces I do also like to re-create established tunes (so far I've only done this with video game tunes, as you can see to the Right).
 
A tremendous amount of the reason why I love to compose and listen to music is all thanks to my sister ("Silas Carder"), who pretty much introduced me to Jerry Goldsmith, the greatest composer who ever lived. In some of my music I attempt to emulate his style (specifically in the first three tracks to the Left), but I also mixing John Barry and Danny Elfman at times.
 
Secondly I also give a certain man by the name of Gabriel Fernandez, who made my music-composing possible with his superb music software, KB Piano. I highly recommend this program to anyone who is into creating music (http://www.gfsoftware.com/). Without him, none of this up to this point would have been possible.

Of course all of this is a learning experience, so I'm sure you will (hopefully) find that the music gets better with each new track as I learn new tricks and get more familiar with the software.
