This is a very special track for me; I made it for the EP Charity Jam Album, which was a big collaboration between a lot of composers. We all made songs for one album that is now being sold on bandcamp! All the proceeds go to the AbleGamers fund, which is a fantastic cause to support.

Cherry Garcia

When the poison blood
leaks from skin that breaks
On the tile floor
forming pretty stains...
No amount of bleach
will make it clean
No amount of love
will heal the scar of me!

With my yellow eyes
and my hands that shake
With my twisted tongue
and my belly aches...
You say good bye
you kiss good night
You sing healing words
in an opera of knives!

When the mourning comes
please don't be afraid
If my body lies
in a separate place...
You smiled at me
when your destiny
Had given birth
to my obituary.

An Aria Of Anguish

A Lament Of Language

A Carol Of Courtship

Born all alone in abandon
Since you were but seventeen
When the lurker in the shadow
comes to reap he comes for thee
Say goodbye to all your loved ones
Will they weep or be relieved?

A Hymn Of Hardship

The album is a tribute to Sonic The Hedgehog 2 for Sega Genesis. All tracks were created using the instrumentation of the game. 11 tracks corresponds to the 11 levels in-game. This was accomplished using the plugins RYM2612 and RYMCAST both made by Inphonik. Being that the music uses the same sounds as those used in the 2D Sonic games, the music is 16-bit chiptune featuring tracks that would fare well for a tropical lagoon, all the way to the grimey pits of a cave.

My goal with this whole album was not to do a full music redesign of the existing music in Sonic The Hedgehog 2, but rather to take those instruments, and make something 100% my own. Some tracks are definitely inspired by the levels themselves though. Thank you for listening.

[DAY 2] Big Baddie Battle

Melancholic, dreamy, atmospheric.
Nostalgic, sadly beautiful forest, soaking in the rays of the morning sun. The place where fairies dance when no one sees them.

This is the main theme played in the game PAWNS. I really enjoyed making this song, because it felt like something that I would take inspiration from in the future

Music Theory Content Below:
Harmonically my most impressive song at the moment because it is technically not in the Major nor Minor Scale. Instead it uses what’s known as a mode which defines the root note. In this case, the song uses the key of C, but I use the Dorian Mode which makes the root note D. 
(I ii iii IV V vi vii° becomes i ii III IV v vi° VII)
However I did cheat a little bit by makaking what in this case would be a vm7 and made it a V7 in the progression to make it sound more minor harmonic, but I also thought that followed well from the vi°7.
For the buildup, I let the chord progression go, but I decided to add a pedal point because I thought it made the pedal point more intense.

Determined To Fight (Demo)

This song was intended to be for when a boss battle shows up, but we didn't have enough time to add those. I also didn’t have that much inspiration for this demo but if we continue development, I would like to build on this song more. Otherwise I still hope you enjoy it!

I don’t have much on it at the moment. Just a Pedal point, and random chords on the buildup
