Captured gameplay from Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom, rescored dynamically using FMOD Studio and two pieces of music I composed for this purpose: one for forest exploration, and one for combat within the forest.

Exploration - Dynamic RPG Music

Combat - Dynamic RPG Music

An upbeat piece suitable for quicker gameplay, given that rosy tint of retro using soundfonts and SNES samples. Are you a SNES person or an S.N.E.S. user? I never cared for SNES--thought it sounded right foolish. But stumbling through such strong letters in S.N.E.S. makes for a different kind of fool, I suppose!

Random Encounters EP

Masked in Cobalt

Boss music from the BHAM Bullet Hell project. What kind of self-respecting bullet hell game would have a boss encounter that isn't preceded by an alarm sound? Not ours!

Sound the Trumpets

Stage music from the BHAM Bullet Hell project. Envisioned as a tale of a machine rebelling against the heavens, fighting angels made of stained glass, and culminating in a boss fight against an unsightly archangel. Who knew there was so much conviction behind each pew pew!

Path of the Messengers

A track 100% made with synthesizers. When I hear this, I envision a little pixel art lad still in the starting area, totally unaware of the amount of unnecessary plot twists headed their way. Are they in their humble hometown, or the nearby forest where you learn the combat system for the first time? I think we both know that I didn't make my mind up about that.

Towns and Trees

A dancey track for lighthearted combat. Like, when your life is...*technically* on the line, but not really.

Authored Encounters

The dynamic combat layer for my Emerald Story piece. Adds a bit of rhythmic guitar, percussion, and a couple of additional woodwinds, because I really like when the wind goes through the wood. A lot of woodwinds are actually made of metal, but this isn't the place for that.

Emerald Crossing (Combat)

The dynamic exploration layer for my Emerald Story piece. "Peaceful, but slightly threatening with the feeling that things could go wrong at any time, and they probably will." Sorry, I was just reading my therapist's cliffnotes on me. Why does he post these online?? Isn't that against the rules or something?

Emerald Journey (Exploration)

A track I composed to pitch for a Middle Eastern themed game. Hey, I'm Middle Eastern!...well, half, anyway. Guess it makes sense that my pitch wound sound half Middle Eastern, half Hyrulian then.
