This tune was one of three contributions to the Sonic Paradox Remix Shorts in 2012, the others being "Above the Storm" (Sky Troops) and "Winterstruck Dawn" (Speed Highway's At Dawn crossed with Ice Cap Zone). This track was also my second attempt at a four-handed piano piece, the first being "Checkered Emerald Path" from the 2011 Sonic Stadium album.

"Havoc Harbor" was put together as a tribute to Sonic Adventure 2, on occasion of its HD rerelease in the digital marketplace last October. I chose to upload it today to honour SEGA composer and Crush 40 guitarist Jun Senoue, who scored most of SA2 along with numerous other Sonic titles, as it is his 43rd birthday.

Sonic Adventure 2 is a game that is very, very close to my heart, as it marked my foray into the Sonic franchise. From the story to the gameplay, from the cinematics to the general atmosphere... this title, while flawed in some aspects, is a masterpiece in my eyes. No other game had such a profound effect on me. 
What really drove the game home for me was the music, with the majority under Jun's name - the soundtrack is absolutely amazing! City Escape, Green Forest, Eternal Engine, freakin' Live & Learn with Johnny Gioeli... how could anyone not fall in love with SA2's music here?

I've admired Senoue as a musician ever since I was a kid. His tunes never fail to put me in a good mood and help me get through my fair share of bad days, he's proven himself to be an excellent composer game after game after game since he got on the series, and he's just an all around fantastic guy. I wish I could meet him and shake his hand and just thank him for everything he's done for the series, buuuuuuut I can't afford a trip to Summer of Sonic in order to make such a thing a reality... yet.

So, happy birthday to a fantastic guitarist and composer, and to one of my childhood heroes, Jun Senoue!

Additional shout-outs to Aptiva of Freen in Green for helping with the song title and mastering and to Elson "Darkspeeds" Wong who requested the Data Select theme from Sonic 3 & Knuckles at one point. The track also contains a riff on Kenichi Tokoi's Asteroid Coaster from Sonic Colours just because!

On a final note, the third edition of the Sonic Stadium Music Album is currently under way - and I've already got a tune ready for it, but I can't show it off just yet...~

FS-471 Wwise Interactive Music implementation assignment.

When thinking of what game to score for my Wwise interactive music assignment, I had the bright idea a few months ago to try to do a Sonic the Hedgehog level. Firstly, because it was a no brainer, but secondly - Japanese games have had a cultural precedent of barely touching interactive scoring compared to western titles. On the flip-side, this allows the composer to do what he does best, which is create memorable melodies and hooks you can hum along to that aren't limited by the 'loose' requirements that interactive scoring demands.

While the goal of 'interactivity' and 'memorability' seem to pull in opposite directions, Sonic levels are (for better or worse) on rails, and more importantly at points they funnel you through one-way sections, meaning that I could apply a basic song form concept, assigning each part of a song to each part of a level, making sure the sections can loop around seamlessly, and then writing appropriate transitionary sections that can be jumped to from the end of each phrase within a section.

I chose Spagonia as my level, and there are many tie-ins of the composition to the level. For instance, while the violin lead parts were a feature of the original track, I maintained that as a means of tying the track to the European vibe of the level.

Since musical sync to the level is the essence of this project, one of the transition segments is the clock tower climb and subsequent grind (which conveniently enough is one-way) and is characterized by the breakdown section and guitar solo.

There's also a whole bunch of little musical cameos that connoisseurs of fans of Sonic music throughout the past 20 years -should- be able to pick up on (I hope!) be it from the 16-bit games, Sonic Adventure, hell even Sonic X anime.

This is only Stage 1 of the assignment. There's a shit ton of other stuff I still need to do before the project is deemed complete, and no, I'm not talking about implementing it in Wwise. Stay tuned!

8-Bit Rooftop Run Classic

SixBones  8 - BIT Remix

In time for the 3rd birthday of the song, I've decided to remaster it.

I've used CD quality tracks where I've been able to source them (primarily the main music track), and better quality MP3 vocal tracks outside of that.
Also I've attempted to fix some timing and flow issues with the individual vocal tracks, which have been bugging me ever since I released it in the first place.

All related downloads (pictures, original + remastered songs) here: https://mega.nz/#F!psdVkYYa!LMXa175xhfbX4EjxH_Dwiw

I would also upload the project files since I don't think I'd be doing anything with them anymore, but I don't think my internet connection is able to suffer the 220mb upload. If you really want a copy of it, send me a message and I'll see what I can do for you.

Thanks for staying along with me all this time!
