Full Mass Effect: Revelation album. Been taking way longer than it should and I apologize for that. For that very reason I've released an additional 3 bonus tracks and I hope you can forgive the long wait. I can't wait to hear your feedback!

Mass Effectish Theme

I had the Virmire choice in mind and just the realization that sometimes there is no right or wrong choice, you just have to make one and live with it.

I Had To Make A Choice

I wanted to capture the horror of seeing Sovereign descending and then getting swarmed by Geth!

Last Stand Of The 212

Mass Effect 1 really had no exploration tracks on the planetary explorations, so I tried to make some who might fit

Exploration OST

A simple track that would fit well fighting geth!

Combat OST

Here's something abit different. It's a collab with Leeg on one of his tracks, I felt it needed a lead so we agreed to collab, I think it turned out allright!

Here is Leeg's profile;

My next project is coming along nicely and will be very different from this :)

Stairs (Remake with Leeg)

Geralt races to the town only to find Renfri's band already tearing up the place. The time for talking is over and Geralt earns the moniker "Butcher of Blaviken" after being exiled by the alderman doing him one last favor by keeping the townspeople out of the way.

Butcher Of Blaviken

Geralt meets Renfri and her band at a tavern, later Geralt and Renfri meet up where Geralt is staying and Renfri starts to tell Geralt her life's story. Renfri wants Geralt to kill the sorcerer and not her. Geralt instead asks Renfri to forgive the sorcerer and she agrees (or so he though), later that night, Geralt and Renfri make love. The following morning, the alderman and Geralt have breakfast and the alderman talks of the "tridam ultimatum" and Geralt realized that he has been duped.

Choose

Geralt steps into the sorcerers tower only to find himself in an illusion of a garden of Eden. Later the sorcerer asks Geralt to kill a woman who he believes to be born under "The curse of the black sun", Geralt refuses and leaves

Tower Of Illusion

Geralt enters the town of Blaviken in search of someone willing to pay for the kikimore carcass he has with him. Later he is guided towards someone who might be willing to pay, a sorcerer.

Blaviken

The theme for this Witcher inspired EP! I am out of my depth here so don't be too unforgiving. I hope you enjoy this EP as much as I have done making it!

Re-uploaded with some improvements.

Lesser Evil Theme

For reasons unknown to me, an extremely talented musician on soundcloud known as The Cyanist wanted to mix and master Feeling, this is the result! I am beyond impressed! I'm working on my own version, but it won't be out for a while.

Composed by me
Mixed and Mastered by; The Cyanist

Feeling (The Cyanist version)

Inspired by the halo short story "Soma the painter".

Soma the painter lives on a remote planet on the edge of the milky way galaxy called "Seaward". Only the elite live there. It's a very utopian setting. One day when Soma begins to paint with her jetbrush (basically an automated brush which paints what it sees) she notices something is amiss, a massive fleet which darkens the entire planet approaches and she realize that the planet is doomed.

Soma The Painter

Here's the final version for Feeling, hard to keep up with The Cyanist's talents, but I am happy with the changes made! :)

Feeling

Geralt leaves the mansion for the woods. He takes shelter there. The following morning, Geralt returns to the mansion, after all, someone or something killed those merchant and that young woman. In the courtyard, Geralt is faced by a beautiful young woman named Vereena, unfortunately Vereena turns out to be a Bruxxa, responsible for the murders! Geralt is on the defensive as the creature is much faster than him, he is in the fight for his life! Out of nowhere Nivellen moves to distract Geralt, Vereena is determined to shield Nivellen from harm and steps in between them. Geralt slays Vereena, but her act of love, mixed with her blood finally lifts Nivellen's curse, he is now a man again.

Vereena

Nivellen explains to Geralt that he believed he knew how to cure himself, by making beautiful women live with him! Which he quickly found out did not quite work out. He did enjoy their company, so did the women apperantly, but when Geralt asked if someone is currently living with Nivellen, he becomes uncomfortable. Unwilling to discuss his newest partner, Geralt decides to leave, but not before Nivellen warns him of dreams he's been having, making him fear that his condition is getting worse. Nivellen asks Geralt to do what needs to be done, should the need arise.

Dinner Guest

Geralt suddenly finds himself attacked by a beast, but this is no ordinary beast. It can speak as if a man, when the beast realize that Geralt isn't frightened of it, the beast instead invites him for dinner! During this dinner, Nivellen (which is the name of the beast) tells the story of how he became cursed, as it turns out, he was coerced into raping a priestess by his former squadmates in the army. Nivellen however seem to embrace it.

Man or Beast

Geralt is wandering the path, it's a snowy landscape and a blizzard is brewing. On his way to find shelter he notices birds circling an area in the forest, there he finds the corpse of merchants and a young woman, he follows the path and ends up near an abandoned mansion.

The Path

Another witcher inspired EP, this time we are making music for the novel "A grain of truth" which is also Episode 1 of season 2 of the TV show, but it is abit different. Anyways, enjoy! This here is the main theme! 

No story behind this one, it's just a simple theme I built

A Grain Of Truth Theme

Special thanks to "The Cyanist" for amazing guidance, really made the mix so much better.


N'chala walks the African plains as he does each and every morning. Wondering what the machines of the gods are building, whatever it may be, it is massive and has N'chala awestruck.

Cradle Of Life

A collab with Otherwise, I think it turned out allright :)

Otherwise - The Ghost of Winter ft. Martin Aslaksen

A special thanks to "The Cyanist" for taking the time to master this track. I had alot of issues with this one. Make sure to check him out!

We follow Admiral Jon Grissom and his journey through the mass effect relay. A device which allows for instantenous travel across star systems. This opens up a whole new era of human space exploration. 

I wanted it to remain optimistic, but at the same time have an uneasy feeling. Exploration rarely comes without a cost.

The Charon Relay

Grissom meets with David Edward Anderson. A promising soldier of the N7 program (The elite soldiers). Grissom brings Anderson up to speed on a first contact scenario with an alien spieces. The aliens have attacked a human outpost and the human systems alliance have responded with violence. The First Contact war has begun. The Citadel Council intervened and a peace treaty was signed. 8 years later the humans were granted an embassy on The Citadel (The galactic capital space station)

First Contact

The theme for the entire album. This theme will run through various tracks. It's inspired by the novel set in the Mass Effect universe by the same name. I've tried to remain original, but at the same time I wanted to stay "familiar". Inspiration from the very first Mass Effect video game is to be expected.

Mass Effect Revelation Theme

David Anderson responds to an S.O.S while on a patrol. Isolated from any reinforcments, Anderson proceeds carefully. The S.O.S takes them to a science facility. Inside the facility Anderson and his crew discover a hidden underground complex. Upon entering they are attacked by mercenaries. The scientists are dead and all evidence suggests that someone on the inside is to blame. One of the mercenaries manage to set off a bomb, Anderson and his crew barely escapes with their lives.

S.O.S

The Turian Spectre, Saren Arterius is doing his own investigation into what happened on Sidion. By any means neccessary. Saren learns of the Krogan mercenary Skarr who apperantly knows something about current events. Meanwhile Anderson tracks Kahlee Sanders, a scientist who escaped the facility on Sidion to Elysium. There he is reunited with Jon Grissom who also turns out to be Kahlee's father. After the reunion Anderson leaves, but shortly returns and finds out Skarr and his mercenaries have attacked them. Saren appears and drives Skarr off.

Spectres And Reunions

Demo version for the Sidion combat theme. My computer crashed and I lost access to many VST libraries. I wasn't happy with this, but at the same time I had put time and effort into it. So I decided I could release it as a bonus track as a sort of "sorry for taking so damn long".

Sidion Combat Demo Version (Bonus Track)

Kahlee has been captured. Anderson is furious at Saren because of his disregard towards innocent lives, especially humans. However Anderson needs Saren in order to rescue Kahlee. Saren wants the research, but allows Anderson some time to try and save Kahlee. Anderson manage to kill Skarr and save Kahlee just in time before Saren blew up the entire facility. Killing everyone inside. Saren blamed Anderson in his offical report to the council, being a high standing operative, they naturally believed him over Anderson. 
Back at his base, Saren studies the research from Sidion and discover a giant starship named "Sovereign". Saren plans to use this ship to get revenge on the humans who slaughtered his brother back in the first contact war a decade ago.

The Refinery

Ambiance for the research facility on Sidion. Here they did AI research which was illegal in the galactic community. 

I wanted to capture the uneasy feeling of doing something you know isn't right.

Sidion (Ambient)

The Human Embassy on the Citadel space station is a site to behold! The wonderful scenery of the citadel makes this embassy one of the best places to work in the galaxy!

I wanted an ambience piece for the human embassy. Almost like an ad you'd see on massive screens. Explaining why you should start working there to make a difference.

Human Embassy (Ambient)

Elysium demo version, pc got fucked and I lost access to many of my synths. Released as a bonus track because of how long this album has taken.

Elysium Combat Demo Version (Bonus Track)

Kahlee is attacked outside a bar on Elysium.

Elysium (Combat)

Combat theme for the Sidion facility where Anderson was attacked.

Sidion (Combat)

For the very first time I've made a remix. An interesting experience to be sure. I was in the zone and I felt that I owed you for the ridicilous long time you've waited for this album.

Sidion Combat Remix (Bonus Track)

An amateur composer.  I try to tell stories in my soundtracks so it's probably abit different than what you are used to, I don't follow any rules x) Huge fan of game and movie music so that naturally is my inspiration. I am using Cubase and East West, everything is played by ear as I have no clue how to write music at all.

Everything I make is available for download. I would ask that you approach me if you want to use it for a project however :)
