Much more peaceful than the original.  Almost a meditation type song if you took out the bouncy beat.

Creepy Piano Music - "Toys in the Attic"

Justed wanted to do something completely different this year.  What resulted is a wacky mashup of instrumentation from various horror movies.  Happy Halloween!

Dark Halloween Beat - "Splatter"

The battle was lost, but we would not give up.  Skies of war approached, but we would not lose hope.  We were defeated, but we still marched on.

Mysterious Marching Music - "March of the Villain"

A darker piece featuring one of my favorite instruments: the harp.  I usually tend to use the harp in unconventional ways, such as the mega low notes in the second half of the song.  Even though this song is slightly dark, it still has a sort of kid-like quality to it.  It's mysterious, wondering, but hinting at possibly scarier stuff.  It wouldn't be played for a kid's full-out nightmare, but possibly the moments right before that, as they lay quietly and alone in their bed while they stare out the rain covered window.

Urgent Action Music - "Set in Motion"

An inspirational, yet slightly sad song.  No orchestration on this one, just piano.  I was free-playing the other day as I usually do once a day and came up with this.  Probably about a third of it is improv though since I kept messing up.  Enjoy!  :)

Gentle piano keys with a calm, sad ambience.  For this track, I was playing around with reverb on the piano keys and I think I finally have that soft, chamber-like sound I've heard in a lot of film scores.

Bouncy, Mystical, Adventure Music - "Challenges Await"

The third piece in my Halloween-related tracks I created one October a while back.  Just like my last track “Dust and Shadows”, it was also composed for that same scene that takes place in an abandoned warehouse.  This track is an extension to that one, expanding on the atmosphere a bit more before coming to a climax.

Eerie Ambient Music - “The Mystery Unravels”

And here’s the final track for that scene that takes place in an abandoned warehouse.  This one, however, is not an official “music” track, but more of a sound effect, a background ambience.  I considered not uploading this one as I don’t think I’ll post these “ambiences” very often, but I thought it was worth a shot at least once for this upload.  Hope you enjoy, and that some of you can find use for it in your projects just like any of my normal music tracks.  Cheers!

Bouncy Gothic Music - "When The Shadows Come Out To Play"

This is a track I created as the theme for a fictional setting called "Wall City".  The first portion is comprised of a military march, slightly dystopian, with a heavy drum/choir sound to give a sense of scale and power, which then transitions into a "grunge" rock piece (the first time I've ever attempted the style).  The basic premise is that Wall City is a major economic center for a military dictatorship.  Yet, swiftly and silently, organized crime has infiltrated many levels of the local government and is now basically running the show.  Hence, the song begins as a booming military march and gradually becomes a swift yet chaotic grunge rock.

 The original story behind Wall City was created by Reynold James Dalton as part of an RPG setting for D&D games and the like.  Here's the description of the location in his own words:
 Wall City is a central city for a steampunk/fantasy tabletop RPG setting.  Under the command of the dictator, Fuhrer Jurgan Krieger, the tyrannical Fists of Luther keep the country tightly controlled, always alert for signs of sedition and treason.  Meanwhile, the charismatic Darren Leingod and his loyal band of smugglers and thieves fight for the rights of the common man, the dignity of the motherland's citizens, and, obviously, reasonable profit.  Rob from the rich, give 30% to the poor.  Well, 30% of the net profits, anyway; it is a business, after all.

Military March/Grunge Rock - "Wall City"

In these lonely halls, abandoned and decaying, an unseen organist plays a tune.  A chaotic, gothic medley that spreads along the walls… elegant, gloomy, and grand.

Gothic Organ Music - "Moonlit Chambers"

This is actually an alternate version of a track I previously posted called "Empty Reflections".  With a slightly alternate video (see link below).  This is the slower version, with actually very minimal changes done to it otherwise, with a bit deeper, heavier sound.  I was playing around with sound editing recently and stumbled into this.  I wasn't even planning on uploading, but I've had it in my files for a while now and I've been liking it, and I think it's different enough from the original track that I figured it was worth a share.

Sad Ambient Music - "Empty Reflections (Slow Version)"

Another one of my annual Halloween-related creations for this past October!  Relatively simple orchestration this time around, less melodic and more atmospheric, all about a tall gothic tower… and its mysterious inhabitant…  I've been using organs as my main instrument for the past couple of tracks that had similar concepts, so I wanted to change that up this time.  The end result is a comparatively simpler sound, again less focused on a melody and more on just a general mood.  And I'm really quite happy with how it all turned out.  Love those low strings.

Mysterious Music Box - "The Midnight Hour"

Hey everybody!  Been a long time since my last upload, so here's something special for you.  In the spirit of Halloween, here's a little piano arrangement I did of the opening/main theme from the old Nickelodeon show "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"  Used to love it as a kid, and always enjoyed the music/atmosphere from the opening and ending credits.

This is the first piano cover I've really done for the channel, but I'd love to do more in the future.  I'd love to have the channel be a mixture of my own original music as well as piano covers and whatnot.

Anyway, enjoy!

Hey again everybody!  Been a long time since I last posted a new track, but here it is... my annual Halloween creation!  Usually I do something mysterious or bouncy, but this time I wanted to do something a little different... a track that could actually borderline scary, something with a bit more tension.  And I'm quite pleased with the results.  Happy Halloween!

Well I may disappear for long stretches at a time, but I'm never truly gone!  Back again with a new track; I couldn't let you guys down on Halloween!  As always, here's my annual creation.  Went with a dark carnival theme this year.  Been meaning to try the carnival style for some time now, and this year I finally went for it!  Happy Halloween!

Hey everybody!  Back with my first track of the new year!  The new decade!  While I finish up final touches on my feature score, I thought it'd be fun to go back and post old tracks I wrote but never actually uploaded.  First up is this track, an unusually upbeat piece for my channel.  I actually wrote it as an intro for a filmmaking tutorial web-series I was going to be a part of.  The show was a fun idea, but never really went anywhere.  Fortunately, however, I now get to share this track with you in hopes you can put it to good use on your own projects!  Enjoy!

Upbeat Montage Music - "Beginning the Adventure"

Download Link: https://gum.co/DYbaU

I’m back!  As a countdown to Halloween, here’s an alternate version of my Halloween track from last year.  I was recently commissioned to do a re-orchestration of it, removing all synthesized instruments from last time to create a new purely real-world orchestral sound.  The key difference is the main beat throughout, which is now an accordion to imbue the traditional orchestral sound with that extra carnival/halloween vibe I was going for last year.  The result is subtle, but I really like it!  The new vibe was distinct enough that I thought it was worth sharing with you all to enjoy!

The commission was done as trailer music for a game currently in development.  You can follow its progress here:
