Year of the Frog is something a little different from me. I consider this an anthology, a collection, or a celebration of my music up to this point in my life.

Burning Spirit of a Divergent Soul

I did some music for MaGMML3. Not a lot, didn't really have the time, but I've still done a few bits, I'll upload them over the next few days.

Anyway, yeah, Chaos Assault. It needed music and it was the shmup stage. Now ask the guy who's into shmup music to make shmup music for you. Yeah, like, I'm not gonna lie but I think this turned out great! I was particularly inspired by Tsukumo Hyakutaro's works (particularly Hyper Duel and Thunder Force 5) for this, as 48H used a cover of Legendary Wings for its shmup stage.

I remember Cathode had a small idea for this... the only things remaining from their idea is the key signature and tempo... sorry Cathode...

Alpha Reflux

This is battle music that I made for a commission in January. It will eventually be featured in the video game "Vultus".

This takes heavy cues from Calum Bowen's "Uzi Battle": https://soundcloud.com/calumbowen/yiik-a-postmodern-rpg-uzi-battle

Battle Sequence

Aliens Right Outside Your Window

This song was commissioned to me by Pheanir!
This song is a bit of a Phantasm-ish song, it's my longest song yet, so it was quite a challenge, especially planning out the structure of the song, but i think i did a pretty nice job at it, and i've learned a lot from doing a longer song than usual.
I was asked to include some more complex chords than usual (the ones that contain more than 3 notes), so i tried to consider how i could implement those in the longer structure of the song, i think it went pretty well! I also added some surprise major chords.
Working with more limitations than usual was quite interesting, i feel like i tackled this song in a different way than usual, i'm quite happy with it.
