I created an EP containing three instrumental tracks that use a common pool of instruments. These instruments included a lead guitar, drum set, and bass guitar. My goal was to construct powerful and versatile presets that could be applied in unique ways to each of the three songs. Below is a video explaining the project.

I have not written a lot of music, so I am still getting used to the songwriting process. That said I feel I succeeded in creating interesting and unique songs by focusing on one riff and expanding it across the 3 tracks.

Here are each of the songs. First is "New".
Next is "Waxing".
Finally is "Full".
