A whimsical and somewhat comical track that is great for fantasy RPG games. Suitable for dungeon scenes that want to utilize a subtle dark tone but still want to maintain a light nature of the entire production. Track also works great for pirate ships and scenes.

Unlike standard productions, this track is separated into four different themes which are all loopable. As the themes progress, more instruments and instrumentation are added, great for productions that require dynamic progression as the scene evolves (Ex. Theme 1 for arriving on the ship and beginning exploration, Theme 3 as the conflicts of occurring events on the ship begin to rise, and Theme 4 at the pinnacle of resulted conflicts, possibly before a boss).

Themes can naturally stay as a classic pirate like feel, or become a more Caribbean style theme with the addition of the Spanish Flamenco guitars that are available.

This track is available for purchase and licencing, complete with ProTools session for added control. Download it now on my site at http://keyjayonline.com.

ENJOY!

Ship Wreck Prison

A deep dark orchestration perfect for those dingy caves or dungeons. This track takes a dark approach but not enough to be too ominous. As a result, it still maintains a whimsical nature. The second theme emotes more with an airy vocal, light guitar, and flutes; great for further venture into the cave.

Unlike standard productions, this track is separated into two different themes. The above preview plays theme one, and a little bit of theme two. Each of the two themes is loopable and adjustable. As the themes progress, more instruments and instrumentation are added, great for productions that require dynamic progression as the scene evolves.

Available for licensing. Please contact me at keyjaycompound@gmail.com if you wish to use this track. Complete ProTools session is available.

Lyrics
***************
Verse 1 (Narration):
Let me tell you a story,
Once upon an October, beyond the Hinterlands and the Spiral Hill,
Lies a gloomy, dank town that a boy, a duck, and franken dog had the unfortunate 
pleasure of stumbling upon,
Their hearts set on a key hole, yet woefully unlocked the gates to the town of fear.
There they met the pumpkin king! A talented spook in dismay, for he needed the heartless to dance today. 
With the aid of the doctor, they discovered that a heart would be the fix. The boy, the duck, and the dog set out to concoct a heart. Little did they know, there were darker shadows than the ones cast by the tombs of the town. 
Will they survive?  

Verse 2:
Boys and girls of every age,
Wouldn’t you like to see something strange? 
Come with us and you will see,
This, our town of Halloween, 
This is Halloween, 
this is Halloween, 
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night oh,
This is Halloween,
everybody make a scene 
Trick or treat till the neighbors scream and die of fright
It's our town, 
everybody scream 
In this town of Halloween

Jamaal: I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

Jamie: I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

Bridge:
Halloween,Halloween,Halloween,Halloween,
Halloween,Halloween,Halloween,Halloween,
Halloween,Halloween,Halloween,Halloween,
Halloween,Halloween,Halloween,

Verse 3:
Halloween,Halloween,
Shadows in the moon
Filling dreams to the brim with fright
Stranger creatures stirring
Filled with malice and blight
No boy is safe,
Your duck is cooked,
Your dog can not protect you now,
Blissful frights 
and soulless ghouls
You can't escape their ghastly howls
(Consumed by the night)

The heartless are dancing 
Stealing souls and hearts away
Ripping, screaming, cunning spooks
The wills of shadows they obey

Putridly delighting,
Pleasantly frightening

Time to play,
roll the dice and
Bet on black with your life!

This terror crawling in my skin is 
one that we must simply just adore
Jack you have outdone yourself 
can't wait to see what next year has in store

Ohh ohh ohh ohh Oooooo….

Ending:
Angels won’t fly,
Ohh ohh ohh ohh,
Angels won’t fly

Sand Trap (Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Sandopolis Zone Remix)

One of the best cartoons of the 90's had a couple of good video games. Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure for the SEGA Genesis was the one I played. Take a listen to a brand new take on some of the most catchy tunes in this whimsical loony Konami classic.

Send in the Clowns (Adventures of Batman and Robin Remix)

Jamaal Okeen Ephriam (also known as KEY JAY) was born and bred into the entertainment field and has had extensive training in various aspects of the industry including recording, production & composition. He is an accomplished pianist, keyboardist and guitarist. Jay is well-versed in several genres: Jazz, R&B, Hip Hop, Rock, Classical, Gospel etc. Key Jay is truly a prime example that age is nothing but a number.

KEY JAY, a young phenomenon that’s been playing piano since the age of 5. Jay discovered keys while listening to the sounds of his parent’s R&B, Gospel, Funk, Reggae and Jazz bands. His curiosity took over and shortly thereafter, KEY JAY was tickling the ivory. Amazed by this gift that their son possess, KEY JAYs parents began cultivating and nurturing his skills. Jay became interested and mastered many Classical and Jazz pieces during his eleven (11) years of study. While growing up Jay had a burning desire to develop and began training on his own. The result of his study, today, has proven indeed to be very rewarding.

KEY JAY became fascinated with the Jazz Band and Computer Technology. He joined his high school Jazz band and took on Computer Programming and Engineering and started in music production. He learned how to play the guitar, trombone and drums. As a member of the Jazz Band KEY JAY received many accolades and continued to mystify audiences by the masses with his wide-range of styles and presentation of Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop and R&B music. He intricately fuses, in a particular way, various styles and captures the very best of music.

KEY JAY is also known to experiment with other fields including Video production, voice acting, and Web Development.

In addition to the previous duties, he also serves as Webmaster for both websites (Key Jay Compound, and KJC Comix), serves as the producer, engineer, voiceactor, musician, and composer for the FLUR Internet Radio Plays (serving as artist Key Jay), and frequents video postproduction and promotional avenues to assist in marketing. At times, he’ll also be found storyboarding the various productions, and coming up with apparel and goods ideas for the store.
