I'm going to attempt VGM Academy's 21 Days of VGM daily Composition Challenge. Wish me luck!

My VGM Academy 21-Day Composition Challenge tracks

21 Day Composition Challenge - Best Of

None of these songs are my work! These songs has been made by awesome people from VGM Academy group as their part in the 21DaysOfVGM Music Challenge, where they were supposed to write at least 2 bars of new music every day for 21 days in a row. I only made these playlists for me and for them (and anyone interested, really)to be easier to listen uninterupted.. Enjoy.

VGM Academy Music Challenge Fall 2019 - Day 10

This is my second track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge. 

I'm really proud of this one, it's inspired by imaginings and memories of travelling lonely paths far from home. 

Some of the instruments featured in this track are the viola and double bass from Versilian Studios Chamber Orchestra 2 Pro, Sptifire Labs Dulcimer, Embertone's Jubal Flute and the lute and viola de gamba from Eduardo Tarilonte's ERA: Medieval Legends

The Furthest Road

This is my first track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge. 

This piece was inspired by all those wonderful main themes for fantasy games and movies. In the spirit of the challenge this is a total work in progress, but I'm really happy with the melody and overall feel of the piece.  I'm looking forward to returning to this piece to work on it further, but it's time to look to day 2!

I made this using Sptifire Albion One + a snare drum from Versilian Studios Chamber Orchestra Pro

Castles And Kingdoms (Demo/Work In Progress)

This is my third track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge.

This one takes a lot of influence from Lorne Balfe's amazing Skylanders soundtracks, which have this amazing mix of orchestral and electronic music into something that sounds so uniquely video gamey, but also stands on its own.

There's some more polish I'd like to do on this song, especially on the drums. When I come back to this track I want to explore mixing in more percussion like in the middle section with the drum beat. 

Some of the instruments featured on this are the marimba from VSCO2 Pro, Strings from Spitfire Albion One and Spitfire Labs Moon Guitar.

Sky Island Sun

The next track for my 21 Days of VGM Challenge. 
This one is just the beginnings of something...

Snowfall In The Valley (Fragment)

This is my fifth track for VGM Academy's 21 Day Composition Challenge.

This track is inspired by minimalism, a very busy day in the city of Melbourne and having way too much coffee. My music is usually very fantasy inspired so I'm actually quite surprised I wrote this myself! 

The instruments this uses is Spitfire Albion One and Embertone's Walker 1955 Concert D piano.

Melbourne Morning

21DaysofVGM - Day 10 - Eternal Grace

Thought I'd try to make a gameplay alert for when your character die in a medieval mystery game. I had the idea to use the Dies Irae from the Mass of the dead but thought the first phrase was a bit too well known so I went for the second phrase instead. So it's sort of a cover!

21 Day Challenge - Day 10 - You Died!

Perplexing Castle

Today's #21DaysofVGM challenge is to discover and write in a style unfamiliar to you. I tried to capture the sound of Middle Eastern music, specifically the combination of ney (a flute) and tonbak (a hand drum).

#21DaysofVGM Fall'19 Day 10 - Arabic Atmosphere

Reuploaded because the guitar was slightly out of tune and I didn't notice until I played it back a few times! #21daysofVGM

This is my first time using soundfonts so I was a little out of my comfort zone but I think it turned out well. Soundfont used is from Secret of Mana.

8-bit Lozenge - VGMAcademy 21 Days of VGM - Day 10 - Lazy Day (Reupload!)

Here's my day 10 piece. I don't know what to say about this one, other than enjoy!

Vast Rooms and Tiny Windows

This is my day 19 track for VGM Academy's 21 Days of VGM daily composition challenge.

"O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do.
They pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair."

Two Princes

this is my day 20 track for vgm academy's 21 days of vgm daily composition challenge

this is my experiment at mixing my fantasy inspired music with that cool lofi beats aesthetic

no capital letters allowed

pls enjoy with tea or coffee or butterbeer

lofi beats for studying wizards

This is my final track for VGM Academy's 21 Days of VGM daily composition challenge!

I'm super proud of how this one turned out, my aim was to mix that 'epic' cinematic orchestral sound with something that also sounds quintessentially video-gamey.
