Ghosts

I'm participating in the VGM Academy 21-Day Composition Challenge! I am using the prompts from Inktober as well, and checking off the quests from the VGM Quest log.

Today is Day 1, and the theme is RING. I checked off A Minor Challenge and Music Box from the quests. This one ran a little longer because I was fooling around with extra instruments and tonal shifts in my horizontal layering scheme.

Today is Day 2, and the theme is MINDLESS. I checked off Make It Modulate in the quest log from VGMA.  My inspiration for this piece was to make an exploratory sound somewhere between Metroid and Dead Space. I landed on some chords that arpeggiated well and had a sort of alien feel to them, and went from there.

VGM - Inktober 02 (Mindless)

Today is Day 3, and the theme is BAIT. I checked off Game Over in the quest log from VGMA. I listened to a few dozen Game Over sounds, and all of them were a falling progression, so that was my inspiration.

VGM - Inktober 03 (Bait)

Today is Day 4, and the theme is FREEZE. I checked off Something Strange & Wonderful and The Forgotten Beats in the quest log from VGMA. I wanted to incorporate an instrument I'd never used before, the Guzheng from China, and also some shimmery bell textures.

VGM Day 1 - Cozy Inn

Bashed out another short piece for VGM while I turn my studio upside down and inside out in search of my good brass patches! A day late, but no excuses here!

VGM Day 2 - Under The Hotel

Another one in the books! This time, I opted for short electronic ambiences with a simple melody that I loved coming up with!
