With whom do we choose 
To spend time? Our answer is 
Worth more than pure gold

Time Spent

Here's an example of the early 'ambient' direction for CB1 - less tune, more vibe )))

Crash Bandicoot - Jungle Boulders xp2 (demo)

This is a demo for the Komodo Joe boss round which ultimately got cut from CB1… When the Komodo Bros appeared in CB2, a new theme was written.

Crash Bandicoot Warped - Future Bonus (pre-console version)

Crash Bandicoot - The Lab (pre-console version)

Crash Bandicoot - Nitrus Brio (pre-console version)

This was my first attempt at music for the CB Warped underwater levels. The final version ended up being a lot more moody and atmospheric.
