Walk By Faith is one of my heart-felt experimental piano tracks with dark orchestration to try and capture the feelings I had as I read the book of Acts and followed the transformation of Paul (Saul) to an Apostle of Christ.

Bounce Back (also known as Bounce Back From It) is a repeating piano theme that bounces on top of a steady beat. This abstract, repetitive, robotic, mechanical, and somewhat dramatic music piece can be used for commercials, advertisements, or film music for those scenes showing actors building something or strategically planning and constructing. It might even work for a car chase.
I feature the piano repeating theme that doubles later in the verse to express going from working solo to having a little help building a project. I have the violin as an announcer backed by an underlying orchestral string section for the chorus, which sounds a little eerie and dark, but adds an urgent feel to the track.
Instruments: piano (featured), violin (featured), upright bass, drums (light), strings section
Original Composition: This is one of my original compositions. I am playing (or programming) all of the instruments you hear. I used Propellerhead Reason, my computer, and my Yamaha DJX keyboard to produce this track.

Lisa Fischer killed the original song and I fell in love with her the first time I heard her on that track (especially that long high note riff she does near the end - wow).
I still love the track to this day so I combined my "Moody instruMental" flavor to Lisa's track and came up with this.
This is one of my "epic tracks" that I use for reflection and thinking.
Listen and Enjoy!

Genesis takes me back to the beginning - the start - and brings to my mind the thoughts and feelings that come with starting over. The violin is the main voice in this song with a running piano melody throughout as the backdrop.
The violin laments while the piano keeps the track in motion. Trumpets provide accents and exclamations of determination while the angelic vocals try and provide a comfort to the deep hurt expressed by the violin melody.

I'm in a hurry now to get these beats posted because I start my first class in seminary Monday, January 12th. So, yeah, I'll be preoccupied with some major reading. But the Moody instruMental Music will still make it's way to TAURUSBEATS.COM.
This one is dedicated to my man, Icy Lee from the GPC (General Population). Congrats on that Lt. Colonel promotion, bruh! Keep Rollin'!!!
