CJ’s Compilation of Favorite Compositions

CJ's Professional Compositions

CJ's Spooky Stuff!

What started as a bitcrusher experiment many months ago evolved into something far darker and more mysterious, but the bitcrusher-esque compression remains for many of the elements of the song. I likened the song to a haunted forest at first, then leaned into witchcraft, then leaned into ghosts within a forest, so that was what influenced the title. Hope you like it!

Phantoms

Forget putting this off for several months, this one took me FIVE YEARS to complete, mostly because the tech wasn't quite there yet for me to be able to make what I wanted. As many revisions as this went through to make to an experiment attempting to encompass the wonders of the seafloor, I think I finally hit on something I can truly say I’m proud of. Can’t fault me for that! Hope you enjoy it!

Undersea

If you enjoyed this track, please consider sharing it everywhere you go! Thank you so much!

I was randomly inspired to make this at 2AM. I normally am not known for upbeat-sounding music, so this rarity as well as creative fever lead me to make...probably the most video game-sounding track I've ever created. Thanks for listening!

Clockwork

A little experiment with background music I created, with a horror twist thrown in for good measure! Please listen with headphones for highest quality. Hope you enjoy!

Subterranean

If you enjoyed this track, please consider sharing it everywhere you go! Thank you so much!

Felt motivated to make a Metroid-inspired track! Hope you enjoy!

Gravity

A song done for an app called Keep Calm and Duck, available now for download on the App Store and Google Play Store! Links coming soon!

All Ducked Up (Keep Calm and Duck)

Duck To The Stars (Keep Calm and Duck)

This is a proof of concept that I made for an upcoming game, and I have the creator's express permission to publish this. Changes may or may not be made to the final version of the song going forward, but I hope you enjoy the song as it currently stands!

Cyber City (Proof Of Concept)

Glitch Ditch (Proof of Concept)

Playing around with some funky-sounding loops. At least the song flows nicely enough.

Funky Automaton

Wear headphones for best quality! Inspired by a breakcore meme page I found on Twitter and Instagram earlier this week. I tried to make something similar to it, and it ended up sounding...nothing like it, I think. But I'm very happy with the result, and I gave it an honest try, so that's what counts in the end!

Sea of Progress

Solstrider

I started this track as part of the stream where Zombified was created, and then spent five hours doing the rest of it! I'm very happy with how this turned out! Hope you enjoy!

Scientifics

An overly-repetitive proof of concept track that I made to get me in the mindset to create music again, both personally and professionally. I really like how it came out, and I hope you enjoy!

Headspace

A track that I've been working on for several months to illustrate the loneliness of space. I'm happy with how it turned out, and I hope you enjoy!

Solace

A track that I workshopped in half a day, based on an experience I had over Thanksgiving! Hope you like it!

Snowfall

I had waaaaaaaaaaay too much fun making this track, you guys! I wanted to make a song that might jumpscare anyone listening into continuing to listen, and even though there were limited options to work with here, this song turned out far better than I originally planned, and I hope you all enjoy my work this time!

Headphones, please. Feedback, please. You know the drill, so please help me! Yay!

Requiem In Terror

A song I made as part of a livestream on February 27th, 2025! Created from scratch in two hours, and published after stream was over! Experimented around with sounds until chat suggested it sounded like one was touring through a desolate area, so here we are! Hope you enjoy!

Desolate

A song I made as part of a stream that I spent extra time mixing before giving up and publishing it. I'm just happy it's finally ready for listening, so I hope you enjoy!

Warpdrive

A song that I created in 12 hours! I'm very pleased with how this turned out, and although it's incredibly repetitive, I find it's perfect for dissociating and just listening along while one thinks! Enjoy the song!

Moonflower

Dribble: Floaty Fluff Fortress

Dribble: Loony Land

Dribble: Bad Odor Bayou

THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BOOK SERIES! Thank you!

Anyway, I had a flash of inspiration hit me in the middle of the night one night, and I found myself making this song. I wanted something that might sound good if one were to look at the sunset in the distance...some place with a great view would work. I could just imagine myself staring at the setting sun right now as I listen to this...maybe you will, too.

Hope you enjoy it! If you like it, let me know. If you think it needs work, let me know.

Twilight Chromatic

Created in the morning of September 18th, 2025, then finished on stream the same day! We've all heard songs in video games that make us feel things, and I tried to channel that as much as I could. Hope you enjoy!

Memoria

Created earlier in October 2025, finished as part of a livestream, which can be viewed here: https://youtube.com/live/1FBDr8ONaWQ

Haunting

Created as part of a livestream, which can be viewed here: https://youtube.com/live/1FBDr8ONaWQ

Horizon

Geez, it took too long to churn out another song. But here you go.

What started as another attempt at a cheesy horror song, such as Requiem in Terror, ended up turning into this. I've always found the moon to be a mysterious, and media where the moon has a mysterious influence, such as in Persona 3 and Bloodborne, have always kept me curious and interested in the celestial object. I guess I've always been interested in things in outer space...you can kind of tell by some of the titles of my songs. Haha!

Hope you guys enjoy it. Feedback is much appreciated, as are notes for improvement. And headphones...always headphones.

Beneath The Mysterious Moonlight

If you're stranded in a dark alley with the Grim Reaper at one exit and Jack the Ripper at the other, what would you do? Try to run or accept your fate? Either way, you're screwed. Haha!

For all things 2spoopy4me this Halloween season, I came up with this. This track combines elements of Beneath the Mysterious Moonlight and Requiem in Terror, which I don't consider to be a bad thing. While the song itself may not be that scary, it may fit in with the spookiness of the season in an ironic way. I still don't know what that means.

Feedback is much appreciated! And please, stay safe this Hallow's Eve. Don't get sick on a candy overdose, either. Haha!

The Ripper Or The Reaper

Dribble: Main Menu

Hey look, another one! With two uploads in such a short time, you know the creative drive has kicked in.

You might recognize this as the Main Menu theme from Dribble. Well...sort of. That one was the basis for this track, and I just decided to expand on it. How fun!

If it's not officially summer yet, it definitely feels like it where I live. Warm breeze, blue skies, heat pouring down from above...it's awesome. The feeling of the beach and being there was something I wanted to emulate for awhile (I kind of failed to do it for Sunshine Soundwave), and I think this definitely worked out. If anyone listening happens to be listening to this at the beach, let me know whether the song fits the atmosphere.

Enjoy!

Endless Blue

Another song! The game jam is keeping me busy!

This one more accurately reflects the theme of the game jam I'm doing. The theme is "classic horror," like 1980's cheesy zombie movies and Dracula and whatnot. I like to do Halloween music every so often, too, so this definitely assists the theme. The name "Dreaded Vestige" came about as another way to think about a ghost, or at least some kind of horrifying situation. I think it works, to say the least.

Headphones, please. Let me know how you like it. Cheers!

Dreaded Vestige (UNRELEASED)

PLEASE WEAR HEADPHONES. I can't stress this enough, god dammit!

But yeah, a bit of late-night inspiration created this piece. As the name implies, maybe someone would be escaping from something, or maybe someone would be hunting something else. The situation could swing both ways, but it tries to invoke a feeling of overall dread in its tones. Or maybe I'm imagining shit and am losing my edge. I dunno. Enjoy it either way, though!

Earthfall

Purchase on Bandcamp

Thrill Of The Hunt

Please wear headphones when you listen.

This is what I imagine the theme song would be to a slasher movie villain. Took some inspirations from older tracks such as Requiem in Terror, Dreaded Vestige, and a minor cue from Technical Heart. If you think the song is too repetitive, that's kind of the idea. Cheers!

Mondolith

Freak

I did this track for the game In Space, No-One Can Hear You Jump for the Game Maker's Toolkit Jam 2018. It was a fun project, and I really liked how the game came out. You can check it out here: https://wojworks.itch.io/in-space-no-one-can-hear-you-jump

Enjoy!

In Space, No-One Can Hear You Jump

Soundtrack composed by @karasz for Standard Deck Manager demo, coming soon to the Unity Asset Store.

Card Bluff

Please wear headphones when you listen. Thank you!

Definitely one of my favorite things I've ever done in recent memory! I couldn't help but grinning like an idiot while listening during the production, because it just sounded so good! Hope you like it!

Soular

Cybersurf

Thanks for taking the time to check me out! I do a lot of experimental music using loops and MIDI files pre-packaged with GarageBand, testing out all sorts of different styles to craft tunes that fit either a specific environment or a specific situation. If that's your thing, then awesome! If not, that's also cool.

If you like what I do and want to work with me, send me a message and I will get back to you as soon as possible. For other things I do, check out my links.
