Very cool. I somehow kept on replaying while improvising on my recorder flute. :D

More a sleighride than playing in the snow =)

Lyrics:
It's been a few years since you left me, and I think I'm coping well. 
I've really picked myself up, and everything is swell. 
But even now, there's moments when I think of me and you. 
Cause when you were still with me, I knew exactly what to do. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
The nights seem cold and empty. Now that I don't have you near. 
We used to walk at midnight, and was nothing that we feared. 
And here I sit all by myself, thinking what we might have done. 
A body here, a shallow grave, it all seems so long gone. 
I keep a knife inside my heart to remind me of you. 
And when I'm feeling kinda sad, I take it out and run and shout. 
And I kill, yes, I kill. Let you ride in my pocket to soak up the thrill 
While I kill. Yes, I kill. And you're there with me all the while helping me spill all the blood. 
All the blood, all the blood, all the blood 
Oh, I can't help but kill... without you. 
Without you in my life. Oh, I turn into the knife. 
And I can't help but kill... 
Without you.

Lyrics:
I never really meant to choke you out
But you fell too fast for me to catch the rope
And darling, I'm sorry that I had to let you sink
Into the lake where they'll never hear your screams
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

I never really meant to squeeze that hard, I got lost in
Feelings and lurked down in the dark
And sweetheart, I never really meant to stab that deep
It just seemed that you were so happy to bleed
So trust me when I say it all just fell in place
And sometimes murder is just icing on the cake
And trust me when I say it's meant to be
I'll bring roses to your garden while you sleep under the tree

Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree
Oh I'll bring roses baby
While you sleep under the tree

Icing On The Cake ft. Gloom Darkheart

Intro
If you sleep before I rise, I'll paint my name behind your eyes
And when you wake, you'll speak in moans, of graveyards, soil and broken bones
If you scream, I'll hum instead a lullaby to raise the dead
So close your eyes, be still, be brave. Now hold your breath and dig my grave. 

I tracked you down through burning leaves
Through broken masks and screams. All on Hallows eve
I kissed the dirt, you spoke my name
And now you open the curse that you just can't escape
I found your house, your porchlight dead
The pumpkins watched me crawl where your footsteps led
I pressed my hand against the glass
And now I'll chip away until there's nothing left

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

I used to watch you from afar, your face a beacon in the dark
I'd trail behind you when you'd take a stroll around the local park
I'd watch the way you'd stop and stare at every little thing you'd see
Your eyes so kind, so full of wonder, how I wish they'd look at me
You can't imagine how my life turned upside down when you were gone
A tragic accident that took you from the world which you belong
And so I snuck into the morgue, your final resting place of peace
And took those peepers for myself, a little gift for me to keep
And every now and then, I'd put them in and see things through your eyes
Your friends, your house, your favorite flowers, and the bluest skies
And though you never looked at me, I know you meant to secretly
I see it all now through your eyes, the way that it was meant to be
But lately, I've been craving more, I just need you around
And so I tracked down where they buried you beneath the ground
An incantation stolen from the book of the Gloomnomicon
And just like that, from out your coffin came that scream-like song

This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold
This night won't end until the sun comes up or we're both undead
This story's told of how your grave is warm and babe, I'm oh-so-cold

Rituals and Resurrections ft. Gloom Darkheart

Neither in the street nor in death nor if you go some place where nobody can see you….

Rubio’s Lament

A wiggly orchestration of 'Oh Bubblegum' from Adventure Time. Rebecca Sugar's song was too catchy not to orchestrate. I might tackle the other half of the demo in a later release.

Lyrics:
Slime Princess you're alright,
Flame Princess you're okay
Wildberry Princess could be better
All of the princesses are pretty alright but...
Oh Bubblegum... You look like a lot of fun
I'm right outside, and that is how I know
Hey Princess did you get my text?
With the picture of my awesome gun show.
I'm also working on my pecs,
If you'd like I'll send a picture of that too
Oh Bubblegum... I really need someone
or anyone... Pretty much anyone
I'm so alone.
Will somebody tell me what's wrong with me?
Anybody?!
Anybody?!
Anybody?!

Playing in the snow

I've been tinkering with music since I was a kid, composing tunes for fun. Nowadays, I mainly write orchestral scores for video games. Alongside this, with an extensive career in the games industry as a tools programmer I've now focused my skills on developing next-generation sample libraries and music software.
