Into The Crypts

I was playing with some synthesisers today and came up with this creepy ambient tune. This is my first ambient song.

Name This Song

I just recorded my first acoustic guitar piece and for some reason I got writers block. I can't think of a half decent name for the song so can someone think of something?

Media Workstation

Over the past two weeks I've been putting together a good media setup for music and video editing. Now I can play and record music on keyboard using synths and virtual instruments. I can also plug in my guitar and use my computer to simulate an amplifier. I feel like a kid in a candy store :D

Got a Piano Keyboard

I recently started learning piano on my crappy old keyboard from the nineties lol and found it pretty easy and fun so I bought a proper keyboard. I can plug this one into the computer and play synths and stuff so I hope to compose some ambient style music.

Here is the keyboard I bought, cost me $300 including a sustain pedal:
