HUZZAH!  I managed to start and complete this piece in just under a week, and I'm kinda totally proud of it.  As the title implies, this track is about witches.  And hunting them.  Hunting witches.  It'll be featured on my upcoming album which uhh... was supposed to come out last year but err... didn't.  But it's a'comin', promise.

This one's heavily inspired by Kinuyo Yamashita's work in the Castlevania series.  Hope you dig it!

Andrew Raines - Witch-Hunt

Here comes track # 5 for my upcoming album!  This one's about vampires, as the title kinda suggests.  I'm not sure if it's obvious yet, but the theme I'm going for with my album is very Halloween-esque, what with all the horror-inspired monsters 'n such.  I want it to feel as though the listener is role-playing in a horror-themed game, where every track is a particular monster's stage, starting with "Dead of Night" (originally titled "The Grey Knight") which sort of audibly pans over the expanse of haunted woods and cavernous paths the party will inevitably trek through.  Idk if that makes sense, but I'm trying to work out the kinks as much as possible so hopefully it'll be a lot clearer as the album nears completion.

Anywho, as always, thanks for listening!

Andrew Raines - Out For Blood

So I'm considering writing a small Mega Man Cover Album featuring arranged tracks of my favorite Robot Master's themes.  Whaddya think?

Snake Man's Theme (Arranged) - Mega Man III

Sooo, I haven't uploaded anything in a while, probably because I haven't finished anything in a while.  I'm juggling like 5 different tracks right now, all very different in structure and pacing but somewhat similar in tone to stay within the realm of a concept instrumental album.  This is a snippet of one of 'em that I just wanted to share because reasons (i think it sounds rly cool)

Update 5/22: daaayyyuuummm i was right, this shit does sound cool.

A Mystery To Me (teaser)

I don't think I ever uploaded the full version of this track to soundcloud so, here it is.  I revisit every once in a while to make a few adjustments because I want to ensure that  every track flows into one another and has enough common themes and motifs to make them feel related.  Not really a concept album so much as I just want them all to sound like they're from the same game (even though there is no actual game lol).  Hoping to someday /make/ said game! xD

Thanks for listening!

A Memory To Me

This is the leading track to my upcoming EP/album (or I suppose it's the second track after the intro.  Semantics lol).   A party of four ventures off into the dark woods in hopes of vanquishing the "evil" emanating from a dark and foreboding castle that sits atop a hill.  This track aims to introduce the listener to the themes and motifs present throughout the album and sets the tone for the adventure to come.  This is just a low-quality MP3 of the track and is mixed rather poorly, high quality FLAC will be available once the EP is released.  Thanks for listening, hope you like it!

What Remains (Demo)

Dead of Night

Hey everyone!  I haven’t posted to SoundCloud in what feels like forever and have totally neglected this page, so here’s my attempt at correcting that!  This is an instrumental I wrote that blends bossa nova and drum & bass.  I wanted to write a little EP with 5 tracks in this style, but ultimately took way too long of a break lol.  I composed and mixed the entire piece using Korg Gadget and am pretty pleased with the results.  Please let me know what you think in the comments!  Thanks!

Astro Rowa - Comet Reef

One of my first studio recordings from back when I was 18. I was going by the stage name "Anchored Cross" at the time. Ahh, the good ol' days...

Andrew Raines - One Bite

Welcome to Isle Delfino! I made this arrangement to commemorate Mario's 35th Anniversary! Super Mario Sunshine was my favorite game as a child, and it remains one of my favorite games of all time. Delfino Plaza is such a fantastic hub world to explore, full of hidden secrets and side quests to keep you busy between levels. Koji Kondo is truly one of the most distinguished video game composers ever born, and I feel that he really outdid himself with Sunshine's soundtrack.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Please like, comment, and follow if you get the chance, thanks!
