Ended up sounding a lot more like "Ame-A" from Onegai Twins! than I intended, but I'm still happy with it. First song I've ever written in 5/4 time signature :)

A Brighter Future

Just a fun little background music piece I started for my VN on a whim and pretty much finished on a whim. There are parts I kind of want to go on longer but for now this is the finished draft.

Hot Sun, Cool Shade

Title theme for the visual novel "Barakana"

Ensemble: Piano, Violin, Flute, Clarinet, Bassoon, Tenor Sax, Koto. (Double Bass)

Blooming Rose

BGM for the visual novel "Barakana". This is the location-specific version. The title reads "Nichijou" meaning "Everyday Life".

Ensemble: Piano, Clarinet, Accordion

2chi常 (loopable Accordion Ver.)

Tested out a mastering program with this track I made a while back. I wish it had a better name than it does, but the project I made it for is on hiatus, so it won't be getting a proper one until we start up again.

Menu Theme

Spent about two and a half weeks orchestrating Porter Robinson and Madeon's Shelter. After I watched the music video, I knew it was something I had to work on, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out! I've seen a few of the videos on youtube of "orchestral" covers, but I'm hoping mine is quite different from the rest in that I chose to utilize the orchestra to the fullest potential I could manage.

Shelter ~Orchestral~

It's been a long time since I posted, and even longer since I've written a piano solo… I have a lot of music, just not much I can share until the demo for this VN goes live (or is at least pretty close to it). Anyway, here's a sneak peek track. Sudden ending is so it can loop (this version doesn't though).

Picture cred to Minute Kiwi. It's old but it still makes me laugh.

Shatter

現実は幻想 (Genjitsu wa Gensou) [Reality is an Illusion]
I've been writing more music since coming back from Japan. Here's another track for the VN I've been working on forever.

Ensemble: Piano Quintet (Piano and String Quartet)

現実は幻想

I've officially been back in Canada for as long as I was in Japan. So I made a fully orchestrated overture-esque adventure theme with the Family Mart jingle to…celebrate? I don't really know why. For teh lulz I guess. It's stupid and kind of funny at the same time.

Family Quest

It's been almost a year since I last uploaded anything on here, so that should speak to my expertise in social media marketing. Been busy with a lot of non-music work lately and the tracks that I have composed have been a lot of character themes, aka things that I can't upload here until the project they're for is actually released. So instead, here's a cool little thing I did last August.

Ensemble: Bass Clarinet, Bassoon, Strings, Triangle

Rumor

Here it is, the second piece that no one asked for (but secretly everyone wanted) in what I'll be turning into a multi-movement piece of weird game soundtrack overture-esque pieces using the Family Mart jingle as the foundation. There's no reason for this; it's just kind of fun and Family Quest has gotten nothing but positive feedback so why not ride that wave?
