Brandon Smith A.K.A. A Space Forth's Original Music
Layout by Jared Broddle, but Brandon wants you to think he created it...
This is my music. My sound has a fairly wide range of variety, so beware, as some of this stuff is rather strange. If you don't want to witness my sometimes embarrassingly weird side, I implore you to not listen to anything with words. I 've been recording myself and all of my random ideas since about 2004/2005. Let us begin with some piano tunes!
:[CD-LENGTH COMPILATIONS / ALBUMS]:
December 26th, 2007: My first unofficial CD-length compilation. In truth, this playlist is only a collection of all the recordings I made during a period of time where I had no computer to use. I was using my parents' laptop and hence, all of ISaS was recorded on said laptop, and sounds a little tiny bit worse than most of my older recordings, albeit still not too bad. Originally, I assigned the tracks an album name (which references my quest for a new computer of my own) simply in order to differentiate between them and my other recordings. Yet somehow, their total back-to-back play time falls just minutes short of the maximum time alotted for a common compact disc, and thus I figure, "this is technically my FIRST compilation." (Note: These songs were previously available for download here on the site.)
April 14th, 2009: Not CD-length at all, I simply chose to label this as a compilation because it seemed strangely... Deserving of it. The Tranquiline Miniseries is actually one large recording (was played/performed entirely at the same time) split into several tracks, and each track is characterized by the synth instruments used for it. Also, the endings of many tracks were "programmed" in using clips of sound from their original endings. The name Tral Gibbidal, and the title Tranquiline - they are simply odd offshoots of my imagination. (If you have an idea of what I could do or what I could pair these with to make a full-length compilation, let me know!)
April 22nd, 2009: My first official and complete CD-length compilation. When picking out songs for this playlist, I aimed for a track list that would do well to embody the wide range of unique and diverse vibes and aural atmospheres attributable to the sound of A Space Forth as it existed then, through the piano and the synth, the instrumental and the vocal. I believe this goal was achieved in the creation of Niche Dimentia. It's also worth noting, perhaps, that the track, "Visitors Drifting" was composed especially for this album.
July 28th, 2009: The second official CD-length compilation created of A Space Forth. This was originally formed by request of some extended family who wanted a few of my piano recordings. SC-I is all piano, no exceptions. Again, when selecting tracks, I aimed to exemplify all extents in variety of my piano playing.

Stream ASF Music to Your Computer
Desireth thee to download the entirety of my musical repetoire? You can simply use this program, created by Jonathan Brenner, to do just that! Be warned that, there is a total of more than 1 Gigabyte in total file size of A Space Forth tunes, so the download will likely take a long while. If you're willing to wait a while to get all ASF music, then go right ahead! Be sure to put this program in the same folder that you want the music downloaded into. This program will also never download songs that you already have (provided their files remain in the same folder), so you can use it to update your collection of ASF tracks as well! :)
