Synthwave Selections

Old cover arrangement I made three years ago, but realized I didn't publish here. Now with cover art, and in time for this year's 909 Day.Original © Real Life

Flame (Instrumental Real Life Cover)

Original synthwave at long last. Technically commissioned by someone on Ko-Fi, but all the same, enjoy!

All tuned sounds were courtesy of the Martinic AX73 VST!

The Fang

Decided to release a filler single while I work on a possible next EP. This track will likely be included in that EP, but feel free to download it now!

Universe

A track from a follow-up to what will likely now be known as "Waveforms V1": more experimentation with original retrowave compositions sequenced based on sounds generated from various vintage synthesizers. Some are software-based emulations, others are sequenced and recorded from the real hardware.

This piece was made using various samples from the E-mu Emax samplers

Waveforms v2

Electro-Max

A multitimbral recording of the Roland JD-990, available to buy from Bandcamp.

Nine Digits

Experiment with UVI's WaveFrame sample library.

The Sound of Frames

My contribution to a new compilation by 30th Floor Records. This compilation is dedicated to the Mortal Kombat games of the early 90s, and the remixes within are fantastic!

Synthality - Cloud Room (MK2)

FINALLY a new upload from me! This was a submission for a compilation that came out just tonight dedicated to the Nintendo 64 era video games, in my case, the game Perfect Dark.

A new friend introduced me to this game music, and naturally, I loved it so much that I felt it best to do my own arrangement. Original piece can be heard here:

Electric Power Building (Breath of Fire OST Cover)

In an advancing world of technology, some will choose to embrace the past and present, instead of the future. I am dedicated to bringing this form of nostalgia into the world of game music.
