This playlist contains examples of sound design and sound effects I've created for various video games and other projects.

Sound Design

This is a playlist of my video game related music.

The first track, "SolTera Theme Song" is the theme song for an upcoming post-apoc, crafting, voxel-based FPS I'm working on through Myth Tech Studios: www.mythtechstudios.com

The next two tracks are part of a full soundtrack I'm composing for a non-existent, modern, indie-style game, inspired heavily by Darren Korb's soundtrack for the game, Bastion ("Somber Souls..." is in progress).

The fourth track, "Sick Game," is a game-nostalgia-metal tune for which I wrote the lyrics and composed & produced the vocals. The composer of the music and I are planning to produce a full song based on this short tune.

The next five tracks are all 8-bit NES-style chiptunes; The track, "Mötæ - Shutter..." is an 8-bit, note-for-note replication of a tune by a band with which I formerly sang and composed. The other four songs are original compositions intended to convey different classic game styles.

"Super Mario Chipstep" was the first song I wrote in FL Studio after about a decade of being away from electronic music production. The focus was on trying to learn a bit about NI's Massive while having fun sampling from Super Mario Bros.

To hear more of my composition skills, feel free to browse around my "Favorite Creations" playlist. If you're interested in my services as a composer, vocalist, or producer, please send me a message.



Video Game Music & Chiptunes

This is the theme song for Myth Tech Studios' Post-Apoc, Survival, Open-World, FPS, MMO video game "SolTera."
The game is no longer in production, but thanks for checking out the track! 
If you'd like to contract me to compose music for your game, film, or band, please message me through the SoundCloud messaging service. Thanks!

SolTera Theme Song

You have come so far. And now, from the top of the tower, you can see more clearly than ever before.

I composed this piece for Bananacat Studios' 2016 Global Game Jam entry, Small Sacrifices. This is the song that plays once you've conquered the tower.

From The Top Of The Tower (Small Sacrifices OST - GGJ 2016)

This tower is the prison of Ur-Grue, the legendary dream eater and memory wraith.
You are in a room. There is your favorite jacket, a stone altar,  and an inscription in the room. There are exits to the north and east.

I composed this piece for Bananacat Studios' 2016 Global Game Jam entry, Small Sacrifices. This song is the combination of each of the level's themes, played in a seamless sequence from beginning to end.

The sound effects in this clip consist of:
1: Item Pickup
2: Item Drop
3: Footsteps
4: Incorrect Item Sound - when placing incorrect item on altar.
5-9: Success Sound - when placing the correct item on the altar. The sound builds as you approach successful completion of the puzzle.
10: Level Complete
