The StartThe Road Trip - Sam SoffesSam’s first experience in development was at age 10, when his mother brought him along to a free HTML class from his local ISP. Sam continued to tinker with development, making $100 for his first website. In high school, he convinced his mother to let him take a road trip to Atlanta to attend an Apple Developers Conference for the weekend. After that weekend, Sam went on to build one of the most popular Bible apps in the iOS app store, work at a few startups and create some projects of his own.

The ExperimentIt's Worth The WaitComposed on a Casio VL-1 for her2009-06-3000 minThe ExperimentAfter The RainThis is a song that I've written several different sets of lyrics to. The ones I landed on were pretty personal and I don't have a great voice, so just enjoy the music.2009-03-1000 minThe ExperimentThe RainIt was raining outside. I decided to record it. This is super raw and unedited. I wanted to keep going after I recorded the first time, so I played over it again.2009-03-1000 minThe ExperimentNew HomeThis is my first recording in my new home. I need to get more drum mics to make it sound good, but playing real drums with real guitar pumps me up! Enjoy2009-02-2200 minThe ExperimentTo Wait A Lifetime IntroThis is some of my band's new stuff. This is an intro we started working on a few weeks ago. Hope you like it.2009-01-0100 minThe ExperimentSomething I Wish I Had - 0003Here is the rest of version 2. Still needs a lot of work.2008-10-0900 minThe ExperimentSomething I Wish I Had - 0002Here is a more developed version of this song. The drums and bass are pretty rough, but it's a work in progress. It starts out kinda sad, but livens up because its okay that I can't have it. It's probably for a good reason.2008-10-0800 minThe ExperimentSomething I Wish I Had - 0001Rough cut of an idea. I recorded this at 1am trying to get some feelings out. It turned out a lot sadder than I though. When I redo the piano and add bass it should liven up a bit I hope.2008-10-0500 minThe ExperimentYears - 0001I've been working on this song for years. This is the song I play when I pick up a random guitar in a guitar store to test it out. Just the beginning of it so far...2008-09-2100 minThe ExperimentDiscover - 0002Here is round two of this sound. It's starting to get there. The drums need a bit of work, but they're not to bad for tapping them out on my keyboard. Ending has quite a few mistakes, but it's still a work in progress.2008-09-0800 minThe ExperimentDiscover - 0001One of my newer favorites that I've started. It needs some more work.2008-09-0500 minThe ExperimentOld Tickets - 0001Here is a jazzier one I started a long time ago. I was really wanting to play some jazz drums, but can't because I still live in an apartment. Still pretty rough.2008-08-2700 minThe ExperimentSomething I Found - 0001This is about some I found that was there all along. The solo needs some work. Probably one of my better works that I've started.2008-08-2600 min
