MG Blues

Several years ago, I helped make a game called "Termination" for a 24-hour game creation contest.  We didn't use original music then, so if I were to write the soundtrack, this would be the theme for the last area in the game.

The Crystal Mines

This is an overworld theme for a project I'm currently working on.  It might be a little lengthy given that players won't spend much time going from level to level, but perhaps they'll take a break to absorb the tranquility. (Image courtesy of publicphoto.org)

The Calming Rains

The Neon Sign District is an outdoor mall region of a metropolitan town that becomes active at night.  This is a re-imagining of an older version of the song.  I won't consider this truly "finished" until I get some better brass samples.  As of now, the vibes take on the role that were originally intended for a sax and a clarinet.

NSD 2.0

There's a hidden world referred to only as "The Machine."  How did it get there, and what purpose does it serve?  The levels in this world are meant to instill a sense of intrigue and tension.  The further down you go, the darker the tone shifts.

The Machine - Stage 1

This particular melody is part of a series of music that play at night. I'm envisioning a peaceful castle and its surrounding town. There's a part where the guards come out to patrol. As of now it ends abruptly, but when combined with the other movements, I plan to modify the end a bit so that they pieces will seamlessly transition into each other.

Castle Nocturne M1

I wanted to make something in the same vein as the Institute theme from Fallout 4.  This one lacks the polyrhythmic tempo, the subtlety,  and about 100 synthesized sound effects.  I'm no Inon Zur, but I think I managed to create a good interpretation of the mood following my own style.  Sounds more Yasunori Mitsuda than Zur.

Dawn Of Ideology

This is an older track from when I was first getting into writing fully orchestral pieces.  I was going for "Generic Trailer Music" when I wrote this.  Some day I will come back and re-render the audio to eliminate the clipping at the very beginning, but that won't be for awhile.  The next time I open this project, I intend to update the instruments and rewrite some of the parts.

Dueling Forces (Demo)

My entry for the Spotlight competition.  It's about finding hope, even in the bleakest situation.  Kind of fitting, huh...

Hope In Grey

Various videogame music I composed using Cubase and a bunch of EWQL sample libraries.
