by Thomas Clarke
I have been doing remixes for years, but never got serious in creating original music until 2013. I have produced at least 150 new songs since mid-October 2013 using a cheap laptop. Maybe one of these days I can actually make money of this music hobby, but for right now it's a good distraction from all the other messes in my life. Most of my completed songs are featured here on Soundcloud, as well as HearThis.At, ReverbNation, and Bandcamp. I have spent most of the last 2 decades in the Sheepshead Bay and Rockaway Park sections of New York City (where most of my music was composed), and have also spent parts of the last decade in Colorado Springs and Denver in Colorado, Lewiston, ME, and Southern Texas (Austin/San Antonio). I am very open to moving to Europe if I could ever get a working or resident visa, since most of the people who listen to my music come from there. Currently back in my hometown of Colorado Springs.

12 Days Of Sandy
I wrote the lyrics to this song back in 2012, not too long after Hurricane Sandy devastated my then-neighborhood of Rockaway Park, Queens. It took another 5 years to come up with non-Holiday-sounding instrumentation to accompany the lyrics. The lyrics are done to the theme of the 12 Days Of Christmas song, but the instrumentation is way more electronic and original. My vocals are used (although they are a bit more New York accented than my normal voice). Instrumentation used: Android Music Maker Jam. Produced using Acoustica Mixcraft 6 on October 29, 2017, the 5 year anniversary of when Hurricane Sandy came ashore and devastated coastal New York and New Jersey.
