Ar·cane /ɑrˈkeɪn/ –adjective, known or understood by very few; mysterious; secret; obscure; esoteric
Arcane Symphony exists for one purpose, to create incredible music. We combine elements of rock, metal, symphony, dance, electronica and world music to create a seamless blend of style and passion. Our music does not conform to any genre staples or preconcieved notions.
Currently I am looking for a full time or committed vocalist. I am a digital artist with a full time job unrelated to music, so I do not tour. I need someone to record vocals and also participate in the music writing process if they are creative.
Also, for any talented musicians who want to collaborate, I am always down for a unique project. I have experience with symphony writing and lyric writing, so let's team up!

Introduction (Welcome to the Symphony)
Introduction (Welcome to the Symphony) Track number: 1 Year: 2010 Album: 2010 EP Genre: Other
This is the ambient intro to our first demo EP. The concept is of a man who, while rummaging through an old shed, finds a music box that plays a soothing melody. This is the key to unlocking the Arcane Symphony, a place that exists solely in music.

I Fall Like Rain (Instrumental)
I Fall Like Rain (Instrumental) Track number: 6 Year: 2010 Album: 2010 EP Genre: Classic Rock
A powerful, symphony driven song about confession and redemption. I wrote this song's piano during a thunderstorm. It brought all kinds of powerful images to me and I recreated them through the symphony. ‎"I've lived a thousand nights, but nothing seems to change, There is no demon, there is only me to blame, I need you by my side, it keeps away the pain, You lift me up, but tonight I fall like rain."
-
Cross the River (Instrumental)
Cross the River (Instrumental) Track number: 7 Year: 2010 Album: 2010 EP Genre: Classic Rock
Arcane Symphony's debut song, featuring all elements of our band rolled into one epic ballad. The song was based on the demo Snow and carries the same tone and melody in some parts. This song began as an attempt to revise Snow into a full fledged song. Quickly the lyrical idea of a child crossing a large river came to mind and I ran with it. The song differs greatly from the melody of Snow, but we return to that classic sound at the end. Mike provides a beautiful acoustic solo and rhythmic strumming in the background.

Eden (In progress)
Eden (In progress) Year: 2011 Album: The River Genre: Metal
This is a track from my concept album project and one of my favorite styles. The weird sawtooth synth is the vocal line, left in for melodic effect. Song is still in progress, guitars will be more complete and everything will just sound better.
