Starstruck

Dream Among The Stars

Remix of fairuzonss "Revenge of Zero Two" which is itself a remix of 0² (Zero Two) from Kirby 64. This is the updated version I have resubmitted to OCRemix that fixes the problems the judges pointed out.

The Last Dead Angel

Remastered for the Fading Light compilation album.

Study in D# Minor

To celebrate one of my old songs finally being accepted on OCRemix, I am releasing this track from my upcoming album, Eternal Sky.

Eternal Sky

An unreleased older song remastered for the Fading Light compilation album.

Lament in E Minor

Thoughts on a Storm

Eternal Promise

Village [Redux]

A new song written for the Fading Light compilation album.

I found this FLP from 2008 sitting in my "finished" folder, yet I never actually released this song anywhere or even gave it a name??? Was honestly pretty good too.

[Untitled Idea #112]

Remix of The Madness Outside: https://soundcloud.com/corruworks/the-madness-outside

Download

Outside Context Problem [Remix]

My first finished track for 2015. Hopefully I can actually keep this up and not die again this year, but I have no promises. Having a job cuts into your free time a lot.

Mastered by Aleks Misich (askelamusic.bandcamp.com)

Made with:
FL Studio 11
EWQL Symphonic Orchestra (For that one horn noise)
Razor
Kontakt 5
Harmor
LASS Scoring Strings - First Chair
Soundfonts
EWQL Stormdrum (for like, one sample)
Heavocity Damage
Mikro Prism
Skanner

Europa

Another song from my upcoming album, Eternal Sky.

Skyrail Ascension

All (or almost all) the cues I wrote for the 7dfps game jam entry Joth Smoth: Tardigrade Rescue by Moth Fried Games, arranged in a sequential song.

Joth Smoth Jam

Inspired by The First Light Of Dawn by Cold In Gardez.

Corona

My job ate me alive for a while but I finally got around to finishing this track. Some people tell me it's reminiscent of my older styles.

Magnetar

Inspired by a combination the Tantabus from MLP:FIM and the Interstellar score.

Tantabus

I wanted to finish at least one more song before the year ended, so here's a generic techno-ish song. Mixed on actual studio monitors! But if it sounds good it's probably because of my mastering engineer.

Nuetronium

A remix of the classic track by Kitsune from Squaredance. The "buy" link simply goes to the free bandcamp download if you'd like to download it in a high quality format of your choice.

Avast Your Ass [Remix]

This is a mishmash of old ideas (at least one of which was used on Cosminox) that I tried to turn into some sort of glitch hop song. I don't think this is entirely glitch hop, but I like the result anyway. 

Salmagundi

Dedicated to MelodicPony, inspired by Eternal.

Dreams Of Distant Stars

Twilight's Star

Legends of Magic

This took approximately 40 hours of work to make over several months, half of it being over this weekend in a mad frenzy to finish the song. I did a lot of experimentation in the mixing on this song, some by choice, some by necessity because its a very strange song. I think its a sort of ambient DnB slash breakbeat kind of song, so into DnB it goes!

Cosminox

I think I should make a new genre called "Space Trance" to put all these weird space-electronica songs I keep making.

Andromeda

This track was inspired by a story and wound up mashing together multiple different ideas into a herculean effort to make an orchestral song that sounded cinematic instead of my usual flair. This will be the title track for my album, Dreams of Distance Stars.

An experimental techno electronica track of some sort.

Digital Crystals

It only took me 4 years to finish this idea, but I'm happy with the result. A particularly interesting fusion of orchestral and electronica.

Whirlwind

Next year would be different, I told myself. Next year I'd catch a break. 

Next year never came.

Next Year

Square (WIP)

Mayday

This is probably one of the oldest song ideas I've ever had. It's gone through many many many different iterations, but I was never happy with them. I think I've finally managed to do the melody justice with this incarnation.

Endgame

Originally written for an MLP fanfic. Remastered for the Fading Light compilation album.

Forgotten Memories

I have apparently been sitting on this idea for almost 18 months, even though it only took me about 15 total hours of work, according to FL studio. I spent fewer hours actually making this song then I spent months putting it off.

Spiral Nebula

Written as a theme song for the MLP:FiM fanfiction "Musical Relations" by Lapis-Lazuli. It explores an alternate universe where Vinyl Scratch was a pianist child prodigy before being a DJ, and is a younger sister to Octavia. This song takes place during the ending scene.

The Piano And The Cello

This is a reconstruction of my old Aurora Theory song, held up to much more modern standards. I also replaced the secondary melody after accidentally re-using it in Cosminox.

Tendril

Birefringence

This song was slowed down from 166 BPM to 160 BPM because that was one of the worst mistakes I ever made.
