This is the Level Music written for Runnin' Hot, a third-year University project.

The game is a 3D runner/platformer set in a neon-clad underworld.
The protagonist, Nox, is was cursed with burning feet after being caught stealing, now they are running from the authorities as platforms fall all around him.

I took inspiration for this track from Green Hill Zone in the original Sonic the Hedgehog.

Here's a cover of Heart Attack In A Layby by Porcupine Tree. I covered this in 2014 but it was never really complete, so I re-created the project.

I've played all acoustic, electric and bass guitars. Vocals are me and everything else is programmed by me.

Software:
Cakewalk By Bandlab
TruePianos Cakewalk
Addictive Drums 2
Melodyne 5 Essential
Overloud TH3
Overloud Breverb 2
Various plugins from Cakewalk and Nomad Factory

Heart Attack In A Layby (Porcupine Tree Cover)

This commentary was recorded for Game Music Festival: http://www.gamemusicfestival.com

If any of this sounds intriguing you can listen to the album properly here: http://chrischristodoulou.bandcamp.com/album/risk-of-rain

P.S. Excuse the crappy microphone sound everybody, I had to record this at the last minute and under less than perfect circumstances. Enjoy!

Downwell - "Mochi yasan" (Shop Theme Chiptune Cover)

A remaster of a cover that I made in early 2017.

All guitar, bass and vocal parts are me. I programmed the whole drum track using the original song as a reference. A lot of the keyboard parts were taken from a pretty complete Guitar Pro export that's floating around the internet, then changed/fiddled with (a. lot.)

Software used:
Cakewalk by BandLab
XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 (Black Velvet)
XLN Audio Addictive Keys (Mark One)

I thought this one was significant enough to delve into the project statistics:
45 tracks
6299 drum notes programmed by hand
over 16500 total events in the project
126 hours total editing time
~1 hour 30 mins (2.2GB) of audio data

Anesthetize (Porcupine Tree cover)

Here's an experiment I did to test some orchestral plugins (most of which were free). This is a cue from the 1989 Batman film and is sometimes called "Flowers of the Past" or "Vicki Spies" instead.

Composed by Danny Elfman

The soundtrack to world 3 of KID ICARUS (NES) reimagined as a fusion jazz track with a latin flavor! This game was near and dear to me as a child! Thanks to Hirokazu 'Hip' Tanaka for the original composition!!

This track is dedicated to the greatest Kid Icarus runners of all time and recent memory: fruitbatsalad, aisnake, Jorf, and Darkwing Duck.
