The ship is in ruins and all around is desert. Rocks and dunes bleached from the sun and wind. Nothing grows on Gaeb IV. Nothing survives. Will you?

The Deserts Of Gaeb IV

You tried. You wrestled with the controls, but power was fading. The craft burst into flames careening through the atmosphere of an unknown world. It's name "Gaeb IV" flashed across the guidance interface, but that didn't matter. You weren't going to make it. And that was oddly peaceful, freefalling into the desert, metal creaking and churning. Darkness spread along the edges of your vision. Too many Gs. The world faded.

Coming In Hot

This track was created for a creepy D&D environment. Picture miles of forgotten tunnels full of ancient secrets and forgotten guardians, deep below a bustling city.

The Tunnels

I wanted to create some good battle music for my D&D group so I created this. I thoroughly enjoyed writing out the conflict I pictured in my mind.

The Machine of War

Between the dunes, you stumble across an abandoned ship with a little food and some water. But more importantly, someone left a bounty of tools. You begin to fashion a skiff of sorts, a rugged sand sail. It takes all your time and all your mind. A singular focus. And as you work, you notice the winds growing and changing. Is that a dust cloud on the horizon? Hopefully those rivets hold. Time to move.

Effort

"Etna Corp, this is Miles Innic, Etna badge number 37b9445 checking in. Coordinates are 20 Zetha, 8774 Hesh, and 58.4 Dots on the Klem. Looks like we're roughly one parsec out from delivery. Any customs or procedures to note? Do you confirm transmission received?"
"Confirmed transmission, Miles. Next check-in scheduled for 12 hours. Looks like delivery is scheduled for 24 hours and on schedule. Nothing of note on our end."
"Copy that. Time for some shut eye. Over and out."

Hyperdrive

More D&D battle music! I love how the voice worked to create tension and a slower moving thread among the other instruments throughout the track. In D&D, one round of combat takes 6 seconds. So this encompasses 2 minutes, or 20 rounds, of fighting. It was a fun experiment!

20 Rounds

A memory from my childhood of my family driving through Chicago late at night. I fell in love with the city lights.

Night Driving

The meadowlarks of North America sing beautiful songs. This is my attempt to capture the essence of their music.

Meadowlarks

Inspired by the Mandalorian, this is a rugged tune to accommodate your bounty-hunting, world-saving needs. It features a mountain dulcimer and a banjo from Joshua Meltzer on Pianobook, a few synths, a drum machine, violins, clarinets, horns, and trombones.

Off - Worlder

Echoing Trumpets, a simple moving synth, high bells, piano, and some old comms from space in the background. Escape from the world for a few minutes.
