A track for the Celeste Mod "Monika's D-sides, Final Farewell" 

Composed using original scoring, remixed scoring, and samples from the Celeste OST and from Thegur90's Custom Music for this same map.

This is the very glitchy Moonberry section of the map.

I tried to make a Castlevania-type track for Java's Crypt, a map I made from the Advanced Lobby of Strawberry Jam

Decrypt

A piece of music to represent drifting through space and stumbling upon assorted unexpected debris. This was written for Stellar Odyssey, a map made by Ecl1psed, in the Grandmaster Lobby of Strawberry Jam.

Gorillaz - Demon Days (solo guitar arrangement)

Track 1 on the "Make Like a Tree" EP. Started out with arpeggiated chords. Added a bass line which the chord structure of the whole piece is based on. Added electric guitar melodies and solos, then drums, then pizzicato strings .  Added and removed many other instruments, developed the slow interlude and final section of the piece, which are both based on sections from the beginning. Not that it matters :)

Beneath the Banyan

Track 2 on the "Make Like a Tree" EP.  Started out with a simple bass line, layered the Melody in an echoing pattern, created a rhythmic interlude to break it up, this part occurs 4 times, each slightly different.  Then added a more complicated bass line during the sections where the 2 main melodies build themselves back up.

Pulling up the Baobabs

Lots of changes and weird rhythms on this song. It was a lot of fun and hard work to sort it out. Since the drums are so prominent on this track, I had to incorporate the beat at the beginning. The vocals were the easy part to emulate and the guitar part is entertaining enough to leave the way that it is. But playing them together was a challenge. Like many other songs on the album, it has an intro and outro that stand apart from the main bulk of the song.

Radiohead - In Rainbows (instrumental)

Radiohead - 15 Step (Cover / Solo Guitar Arrangement)

This is a really beautiful song on the album. Not much else to say about it. I tuned the E string down to C to get the low bass notes that rings throughout.
