The intro track to my non-existent 8-bit video game, Dark Space.* I wanted to experiment with creating a dark, spacey chiptune that would fit as the theme of a futuristic, outer-space action game, such as Metroid, and this is what I came up with. I'll continue recording more chiptunes with different themes, so keep your ears peeled!

Dark Space Intro [8-bit NES-Style Chiptune]

Dark Secret was written in a style reminiscent of NES fantasy/RPG games. I imagined this song could be used as the theme to a game of this style, or possibly as an underworld theme.

Dark Secret RPG Theme Song [8-Bit NES-Style Chiptune]

I really enjoyed composing this experimental, somber, and somewhat spooky chiptune. Images of carnivals, castles, and calliopes were drivers for much of the melody. And the beats are the result of an enjoyable exploration into syncopated, bombastic rhythms.

I made this pack as a fun treat for the audio community for April Fools Day, 2017. 

All the sounds come from my mouth and are totally overprocessed with fun tools like Decapitator.

You're allowed to use these sounds any way you'd like, even for commercial use. (lol)

I simply request that you:

CineMouth Teaser Trailer Audio

I've continued working on accurately recreating the tone and style of the original Postal Service song, leading me to re-record the verse lead vocal line. I also did a lot more mixing and balancing to try to get the mix closer to the sound of the original. I think it's coming along nicely. Next is to get those bloop-beep noises in the chorus...

Skinwalker's "District Sleeps Alone Tonight" Acapella Cover (Verse & Chorus) [WIP]

In learning how to create more dubstep style sounds using FL Studio, I used some concepts that I've heard in some Skrillex songs and tried to recreate my own similar sounds. I learned a bit about using an envelope filter on the high pitched wub sound to vary the tempo of the wubbing... if that makes any sense. And I also played with the WOW plugin, which creates the big vowel sounds that sound like a robot vomiting. 

Skinwalker's CED #51 (02.20.2013) - Practicing Dubstep Sounds

I spent a bunch more time editing and mixing the two different dirty dubstep riffs I've been working with, and I put them together into one piece, which I think is sounding pretty good. I've added sub-bass lines to each part now, and I changed up some of the percussion samples as well. I've got some ideas for how I want this piece to evolve, but it's going to take a ton of tutorials to figure out how to actually create the sounds I want. 

Grimey Dubstep Riffs [WIP]

It's a friend's birthday, so I made this for her, 'cause she's cool.

Happy Birthday, Mandi!!!

My mother always jokes that I got my musical talent from her because she taught me how to play the Batman theme song on the guitar when I was a kid. But whether that's what inspired me to become a musician isn't what matters - the support I was given to do what I wanted to do, regardless of the practicality of my endeavors, is what allowed me to pursue this creative life. So, since it's my mom's birthday today, I thought I'd customize the Batman song she taught me so many years ago as a gift back to her. Happy birthday, mom!

Happy Birthday, Mom! (In the Style of Batman)

I've recently begun researching music licensing and the types of songs that are popular right now. In an attempt to mimic some of the popular styles I've heard, I wrote this little tune as a test run. I'll have to re-record the whole thing before I send it to any licensing agencies, but I had fun working up the general idea. Could you imagine this in the background of some commercial?
