A Lexicon of Emotions
A Lexicon of Emotions is a compilation of songs that I regard as my masterpieces. The chord progressions are similar to Nick Johnston’s style of having impeccable tonal transitions. These songs are meant to instill strong mixed emotions with a sense of relief or resolution at the end of every song.
When creating tracks for this album, I take my sweet time, allowing myself to generate the best possible ideas. It takes months and months to finish a piece, making every release worth all the effort that has been put in.
Water
Composed by: Stanley Poon
Date Released: 7.6.2025
Water is a dreamy instrumental inspired by the sound of waves, at least to me. This is another masterpiece with a lot of color and emotions. It’s funny because because I’ve been trying to finish this song since Feb of 2025, but unfortunately, my Solano plug-in couldn’t be mounted on Garageband and I couldn’t get the bright, crystal-y strat sound that I was aiming for. Because of this, I put this project to the side. Alas, lo and behold, I think I did a really good job with the mixing despite the setback.
Sunset Drive
Composed by: Stanley Poon
Date Released: 6.13.2025
80’s Sunset Drive takes you back to an unknown time that may or may not have happened in your life. For me, it’s the 80’s, how I wish that I could have lived that era!
I’ve always been a fan of Synthwave music as it brings childhood nostalgia. This is the first time that I’ve created something like this and I’m relieved to finally launch this song after sitting in my projects for more than 9 months. Do me a favor and play this on a Sunday afternoon, while your windows are down and the volume blasted. Let me know if it does something to you.
Light
Composed by: Stanley Poon
Date Released: 11.17.2024
Light is an instrumental that captures the scope of one’s challenges and resolution. A song influenced by Fujii Kaze’s Shinunoga E-wa piano line.
Dreams
Composed by: Stanley Poon
Date Released: 7.17.2023
Dreams is my masterpiece. This song’s message tells of a story that has been told thousands and thousands of times—and that is: if we are capable of dreaming about something that we want, then we have all the capacity of turning it into reality. Inspired by the speech of Les Brown.
