Chimney Sweep

I wrote this originally after a failed application deployment. It was kinda sad sounding, but then I kinda gave it a happy hopeful touch at the end. Now it sounds kinda like exploring the jungle. It's kinda fitting I suppose

Lost Site

I've been working on trying to arrange this track for around 9 months now and finally have something to show for it. Also my first time playing bass in a "correct" manner. I guess this makes this track something of my baby. I picture this as like a first level or maybe a theme of a game

The Adventure Begins

I'd been experimenting with a guitar lick for a while that spurred on this melody. It sounded kinda Southern-Rocky at first and I intended on making something similar to that. Then it turned into something fusion-y and finally I settled on something a bit more slowed down. I was looking for a lead to get a Jazz Fusion feel and accidentally stumbled upon the lead that ended up being the opening lead to this piece. I don't know what genre you would call this. It's just weird, funky, something

Fried Life

I took a bit of a challenge with this one to create something of a desert themed track without going for conventional sounds pertaining to "the desert." Naturally this one started with the bass-line melody, and progressed from there. Midway through arranging, I decided that the track could benefit from having a more western film style heavy section, even though it sounds a bit conventional. It's not a very serious track all things considered and I'm happy with it how it ended up, even though I released it later than I wanted.

I was trying to come up with a desert pun for the title. I'm not out of ideas, okay.

Dry Spell

tis better to be an alive cowboy than a good cowboy

I figure the boss of the desert level should have something close to a western movie opening, but also something you might see in a steam trailer

Tuco's Angel

I originally wrote a version of this track back in my last two years of high school for a game I wanted to make. In it this theme would play as like an opening to a game that starts in a western style desert but  you could see a vast vibrant landscape in the far distance. It would open kind of like Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time where you got to see Link gallop across shots of Hyrule Field. It was fitting too because when I wrote this in Garage Band, the sound font sounded almost like the Nintendo 64 sound font.

I haven't determined an exact new purpose for this track now, but I like to think of a young man looking back on his past from a long forgotten town that no longer exists. I like to think that the town would be called Dust, thus the name of the track.
