Jak and Daxter

Jak II: Renegade - main theme (full-length version)

This is a demo for the Jak3 metalpede nest… It was deemed too "industrial" by the powers that be. Fair enough...

Jak 3 - Metalpede Nest (1st attempt)

Jak 3 - Monk Glider (pre-console version)

This was written for a forest level in *Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy*. The level did not end up in the game but the music was re-worked and re-purposed for the fishing challenge part of the game.

Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy - Forest (demo)

This is from the *Jak II: Renegade* game soundtrack. It was written for the desolate area of Haven City.
