Magicka : Wizard Wars Main Menu Theme

Here is a track as my way of saying goodbye to the series that set me on the path I am now on in life.

Requiem For MGS

How I created this - blakus.com/2016/10/16/behind-the-scenes-drone-star-wars/
I had a blast creating this score for Corridor Digital's amazing Star Wars Drones video!  Drones, Star Wars, and playing around with Williams' themes? Sounds like a party to me!

Drone Star Wars - Blakus / Corridor Digital OST

Maybe ten years ago, the progresive rock genre entered my radar screen. I've always admired people who can write free-form, symphonic pieces that are both pleasant to listen to, and interesting to analyze.

This piece is my humble attempt at progressive music, and I've held back absolutely nothing. I wanted it to be camp, overthought, ridiculous and overt, and I felt like I got exactly what I deserved =)

Oh, about the name. The intro riff is in 15/16:ths, so it's a sixteenth short.

Sixteen Short

I've always been intrigued by how divisible 6/8 time is, and how many distinct grooves you can make. I also felt it was time to really flex my sound design muscles with Harmor, which makes every sound in the track except the drums and the organ. So I made this track, more as a musical sketchpad than anything else.

By the time I'd reached the Irish folk part, I realized there was little point in restraining the style of the track. Instead, I drew inspiration from Frank Zappa, who seemed to approach his music in a very free-flowing way, keeping the listener guessing as to what would come next. In a way, the last slow-shuffle part is a homage to him, who arguably had the largest impact on my musical life.

For the Thirds

Original soundtrack to the 2006 release of Star Trek Legacy.
