   About Social Stigma
Social Stigma is a unique collaborative project of musicians from all over the U.S. focused around my work. It fuses elements of alternative, prog rock, electronika, jazz, punk, industrial, and classical combined with a dynamik stage performance element which breaks barriers both sonic and social.

This is the solo aspect of Social Stigma. Although the strength of the project really lies in the raw energy of live performance, i have produced some decent trax. i'm very much an amateur when it comes to recording and mixing, but what these pieces may lack in studio-quality perfection, they make up for in musical prowess and passion.

DOWNLOAD MORE TRAX BELOW

Sundown Pheromone Blues...piano and vox piece about lust essentially.

Sonic Witchcraft...very saucy piece about, you got it, lust.

Winter Ballade..sequel to Urban Ballade. simple, ethereal, and a little dark.

ShadowBoxer(CruelCunningCondescensionRemix) Fiona Apple. this has the defiance of a recent break up behind it. great recording. just piano and vox.

Stand(Hookers and Hash Mix)...an urban sounding cover of Stand, by Jewel. Yes, Jewel, just give it a chance! =)

Rhiannon(DarkWindsMix)...Stevie Nicks cover. Piano, strings, electrik beats.

Aria#6...from G.F. Handel's Messiah. One of my favorite opera pieces with a little electronik influence. my vocal professors would shit bricks if they heard this.

Standing(FightingTimeMix)...VNV Nation cover. ethereal, piano based version of one of the most beautiful electronik pieces ever. Special thanks to Ronan and VNV for allowing me to make this track.

Urban Ballade...a little electronik, a little ether. not much piano, and not that ruckus, but one of my very favorite compositions, especially the lyrics.

Wandering Star(PerpetualDarknessMix) Portishead cover. Very simple. One drum track and electrik piano

Joga(all that no one sees mix) Bjork cover. what, no piano??! loads of synth strings though. very proud of this one. nice groove

Glass Vase Cello Case(o2 infusion mix) Bonfire Madigan cover. i put much energy into this recording session, one of my most beautiful trax as of yet. very ethereal with five part vocals, piano, and some eerie synth sounds.

Only Happy When It Rains(MiseryMix) Garbage cover.

Professional Widow(PeaceLove&CockRemix) Tori Amos cover, again. has an industrial feel and a lot of driving sexual energy.

All Is Full of Love(VoxMantraMix) Bjork. recording this healed a lot of wounds.

Smells Like Teen Spirit(DirtyWordRemix) Nirvana Cover. Just piano. i tried to acheive a balance between the soft ballade style of the tori version and the grunged-out rockness of the original. older recording on a crappy casio.
