Day 167 - RODAL #13

This is the least known of my albums (an ironically my most recent album) but it is a concept album about how nothing happened on 12/21/12.  It is broken up into four parts, all telling different aspects of what didn't (or did) happen. Right next to "The Symphorchestral Experience" this is my favorite album.  Such emotion was put into it.

Music:
Artist: Reign of Darkness and Light
Album: The Unfinished Doomsday

Day 166 - RODAL #12

This was another one that I spent various time here and there writing.  I decided to take my name (Reign of Darkness and Light) and make 2 EP's that have different ideas.  One is a dark EP and the other is a light EP.

Music:
Artist: Reign of Darkness and Light
Album: Opposite Thoughts: Dark and Light

Day 165 - RODAL #11

Ah, the soundtrack to my book.  This took almost a year to finish.  I worked on songs here and there but finally finished this first (of three) part album in 2012.  All electronic with some orchestral elements.

Music:
Artist: Reign of Darkness and Light
Album: The Circuit Wars Saga PART I: The Circuit War

Day 164 - RODAL #10

After the success of "The Symphorchestral Experience" I made a smaller album, to get some ideas out quickly.  I had been listening to a lot of ambient music as well to take a break from the orchestral stuff. So I made this my tenth album.

Music:
Artist: Reign of Darkness and Light
Album: Ambient Desires

Day 163 - RODAL #9

This is what I call my most monumental album I've ever done, and the most fun.  It was the first time I actually tried to compose "real" songs that had structure.  And not only that, but I made it a full string-orchestral album.  Ever since then, my songs have had these elements to them.

Music:
Artist: Reign of Darkness and Light
Album: The Symphorchestral Experience

Day 162 - RODAL #8

Over the last few years, I have done random little "singles" that wouldnt fit on any other albums, so I compiled them all together on one album.  My eighth album.

Music:
Artist: Reign of Darkness and Light
Album: Random Shingles: A Collection

Day 161 - RODAL #7

I did a cover of "4:33" by John Cage.  Fun small album.
