This track was made to be featured on a senior film project that is being made by my cousin Adam.  He wanted some music that could be played in the background and was loopable.  The title is Ambient Chilly Shampoo.  The ambient and chilli come from the fact that the song is a soundscape and an overall chill vibe is what Adam wanted.  The shampoo part came because I was initially using a song from Samurai Champloo as inspiration.  This is my first work in a long time, I hope you enjoy it!

Ambient Chilly Shampoo

As featured in Adam Bayacal's documentary, "DOWN RIGHT FIERCE: A Look Into Competitive Gaming".  Unlike the initial cut, I added an extended intro at Adam's request (He wanted the drums for later).  I also added some panning and volume variations (Crescendos, etc) to add more musicality to it.  Hope you enjoy!

In celebration of the film's premiere this mix is free for downloading.  I just ask that you ask permission for its use, or at least place me in the credits somewhere.  Thanks again!

Ambient Chilly Shampoo (DOWN RIGHT FIERCE Extended Mix)

Another song I have been working on. I plan to have an album of songs done with the Arcana of the Persona series as an inspiration.

Strength of the Hermit

I have definitely had a tough time finding my sound.  With this song I think I have indeed found what works for me.  In hindsight I was trying too hard to make a specific song type and forgot about simply enjoying the music and having fun.  This all being said, I feel that the title, "Journey's Creation", fits this song's sound.  The title also in a way represents the start of my creative journey to further develop and find my sound as a musician.

If there was one thing I know from my first track, "Ambient Chilly Shampoo", (which I wrote for my cousin's senior capstone) its that I absolutely love the sound that ambient pads make.  I finally figured this out and I decided to embrace it within the B section of "Journey's Creation".  I look forward to making more music and I do indeed hope you enjoy.

Journey's Creation

Not sure how soon I'll have time to finish mastering this track so I figured I would upload the unmastered version in the meantime.

Chrono Cross has and will always be my all time favorite video game.  Not only for the story, adventure and gameplay but for the music.  ESPECIALLY the music I must say.  

I decided to make a remix of the intro song, "Time's Scar", for fun.  At first I wanted to completely recreate the song, piece for piece, note for note, but the B-section proved to be a tad difficult to recreate digitally because of the fast strings.  So I ended up going with a remix to add a bit of my own sound to this wonderful song.  I hope you like it!
