From the game Wildstar by Carbine Studios. This looping track plays upon entering the raid and until you enter the boss room. The track has 2 layers that can play depending on the situation. The first layer is for general exploration. The 2nd layer is percussion based and is added when the player is in combat.

Core Sequence Initiated [Initialization Core Y-83 ambient music]

From the game Wildstar by Carbine Studios. This track plays during the boss battle at the end of the quest line introducing Initialization Core Y-83.

Breaching the Core [Initialization Core Y-83 attunement music]

From the game Wildstar by Carbine Studios. This is the boss music for the Y-83 Initialization Core raid. The track consists of 4 sections that play depending on where you are in the boss battle (intro, main loop, outro, post-battle). The music was composed along side designing the sound effects for the boss abilities. This allowed me to tune the boss abilities to the same key as the boss theme so they would sound more appropriate within the music and lend a cohesive feel to the entire battle.

Augmentation Complete [Initialization Core Y-83 raid boss music]

From the game Wildstar by Carbine Studios. Fanfare that plays when you complete a ravenok race.

The Finish Line [wildstar race finish fanfare]

From the game Wildstar by Carbine Studios. This track plays during various Exo-lab explorations in the game.

Eldan Excavation

For the game Wildstar by Carbine Studios. This piece plays when the player enters the Greyshore area of Levian Bay where a battle is raging. My only track in the game (to this point) that has been recorded by a full orchestra. Hearing a full orchestra play my music was the realization of a dream many, many years in the making and is something I will treasure always.

Arranged for orchestra by Jeff Kurtenacker and David Gilbreath.

Battle for Greyshore [Greyshore zone theme]

From the game Wildstar by Carbine Studios. This theme was written for the ravenok racing section of the game and has since become the theme for hoverboard racing as well. I asked to do this one specifically because a certain classic game that has giant bird races is very near and dear to my heart and I wanted to pay tribute to that composer in some small way. The goal was to evoke the fun feeling of that classic giant bird race of the past (you know which one....) without directly aping it and while still sounding like it belonged in the Wildstar universe. If you ever wondered why there is a distinctly bird-like sound in the song for hoverboard racing, now you know...it was written with bird racing in mind. :)
