This is background music I composed for episode 7 of Kobe Bryant's Musecage Basketball Network on ESPN where he discusses how to build habits and confidence like Diana Taurasi.

Permission to Engage is the 1st single off of Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, my premiere, royalty-free, game asset music pack! It features progressive style metal riffs (i.e. TesseracT) and an emotional solo cello, accompanied by electronic and orchestral elements. This makes it a great fit for a final mission or dramatic cut-scene!

Chasm Ambush is the opening track from Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, an album I composed as a game music asset pack. This is an 'epic', high energy track marked by larger-than-life drums, aggressive synthesizers and loud brass--Great for a chaotic battle or escape stage!

Fortress of Solitude (also called Fortress Encounter due to copyright in some cases), is the 2nd track from Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, my premiere game music asset pack! This track features a live chamber ensemble, amplified by sample libraries. The Huge, aggressive synths, low rumbling brass, and ostinato strings make it a great track for fighting games or FPSs.

"Great Plateau Grasslands" is the 3rd and final single off of the upcoming album, Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure!

For this track, I wanted to capture the beauty of the countryside and pastoral scenery; an environment often found in adventure games. Compositionally, this track was heavily influenced by impressionist composers like Claude Debussy, as well as the music from games like Pikmin. 

There are 3 variations of this orchestral piece, the first being the combat variation, then the tension (enemy nearby) variation, and finally the ambient/exploration version. Having different variations of the same piece allows for seamless transitions between different game states--a common characteristic of open-world adventure games!

Battle of Fate is the 5th track on Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, my premiere game music asset pack/album. This track was inspired by games like World of Warcraft, DotA, and Lord of the Rings. It has an epic, dark fantasy vibe established by a chanting choir, string ostinatos, and 'magical' percussion and ethnic woodwinds. This, along with being over 5 minutes in length, makes this song well-suited as BGM for a fantasy RPG!

The Final Ascent is the 6th track off of Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, an album designed as a game music asset pack. Inspired by the chillingly beautiful, minimalist music of Arvo Pärt, this track is great for the emotional climax of an adventure game. It would also be right at home as the BGM of a winter/snow level!

The Final Ascent

Thru the Mirror is the 7th track from Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, my premiere game music asset pack/album. I was heavily inspired by the music of Banjo Kazooie & Igor Stravinsky for this particular track. It's a spooky, yet playful track, great for a ghost-themed level in a kid-friendly adventure platform game, like Super Mario!

Thru the Mirror

Toon Battle! is the 2nd single off of Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, my premiere, royalty-free, game asset music pack! This is a fun, energetic track inspired by the music of Crash Bandicoot, Paper Mario, & Super Smash Bros. games. This track is electronic at its core, but features elements of other genres such as guitar solos, xylophones, rock drum kits, and horns. The high energy and quirky feel of this track makes it a great fit for multiplayer action-based games like WarioWare, Bomberman, or Splatoon!

Containment Breach is the 9th track off of Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure, an album designed as a game music asset pack. This one is intended for survival horror games if you can't tell! This track features 2 unsettling ambient loops accompanied by 10 spine-chilling musical statements. The end of the track showcases a short but effective "boss approaching" loop.

Enchanted Ride is the 12th and final track from Journey Across Worlds: Action + Adventure. This track features a chamber orchestra (small, intimate orchestra) and has a very cheerful and uplifting sound, great for those happy beginning stages before the uhh...stuff...hits the fan.

Hey! My name is Jonathan Gilmer. I believe that the stories and art that we create, have the amazing power of bringing communities together. It provides us with feelings of inspiration, hope, wonder, and nostalgia, and can also teach us valuable life lessons. It also empowers and enables you to leave this reality for a moment.
 
Through playing video games, visiting theme parks, and watching films, I realized that when you work together with other people who have other storytelling abilities, you have the potential to create a life-changing story. That's why I desire to be a part of a team that can create life-changing experiences that help people, and become a part of their lives.

On this channel, you'll find original music I've composed for video games and films, as well as full production covers of some of the greatest and most iconic video game themes of all time!
