Songs for the Soul (New Album Release August 2012)

// July 9th, 2012 // No Comments » // Joe's Blog

It’s been 3 years since my last album was released on iTunes and I’ve been still recording songs on and off the past two years. This collection of compositions embodies a new leap in technologies, style and soundscapes that I feel accurately depicts a walk in my shoes over the past two years. Through my highs and lows, the music has always been a way for me to deal with emotions by way of song, and though not a traditional genre, I see my music as a form of art. I want to take people’s minds away to a world in which they’ve never been before, deliver a message of faith and hope, and then somewhere in this state of meditation they can discover something new about themselves they didn’t see before. Taking many inspirations from the great improvised artists like Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, Moby, Mike Oldfield, Imogen Heap and Ryan Farish, I have spent countless hours mastering a sound for the third album that I can only describe as retro.

The album is now available on all major markets online including; iTunes, Android, Emuisc, Rhapsody, Amazon, Google Music Store, iHeartRadio, Spotify, Last.fm, Nokia, Zune. MySpace Music and more!

Just Another Day of Phat Beats

// April 18th, 2012 // No Comments » // Joe's Blog

Just another day in the world of Joe Burke. Walking to the mailbox and laying down some live improvised beats. This song is called “Oogie Boogum.” No particular meaning, just a fitting name for this live recorded jam. Enjoy!

The Other Side

// March 8th, 2011 // No Comments » // Joe's Blog

This morning I uploaded the final mix edit of “The Other Side,” a brand new song that envisions the transition of the afterlife, our journey to Heaven, and the euphoric feeling of sheer bliss surrounding our souls as we see the creator for the first time. I’d love to hear your feedback, so close your eyes and imagine with me a place your mind can’t comprehend yet.
