Originally written to be more of an epic film track, “Behemoth” quickly evolved into a menacing boss theme. Listen for the woodwinds to provide hints of a sinister insanity above the lumbering brass and percussion.

There were two main influences for this piece:
1) Imagining a giant, threatening beast (like a Final Fantasy behemoth, except a boss-type one) bursting into a room prepared to devour you.
2) The zodiac boss fights in Final Fantasy Tactics.

The first vision is represented in the image, the second is represented in a YouTube video that you can view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkt0rCuKWSk

Behemoth

今日は、聞いてくれてありがとう。

I write and record music and craft sounds. Foley, sound design, audio editing and composing for Film, TV, Games and Media

Hello! My name is Adam Haynes. I am a music composer, arranger, and orchestrator, with a First Class BA Honours in Music Composition for Professional Media.

I have written music scores for various animations and games, as well as a multitude of video game music remixes for anyone to enjoy. All my music can be discovered here on SoundCloud, or on YouTube:

My music is mainly inspired by video game music, and the western classical music periods. My biggest inspiration is Nobuo Uematsu, and his influences are apparent throughout my compositions. I enjoy the use of strong and memorable leitmotifs and passages, and I hope that the listener will be whistling or humming my tunes subconsciously at the end of the day :)

Most importantly for me is to make the listener feel something when listening to my music - happiness, sorrow, excitement, nostalgia, if I can provoke something from just one listener then I feel satisfied with what I've created.

If you would like to use my music, or have audio uniquely composed for your project, then please don't hesitate to ask. We can certainly arrange something!

Happy listening :-)

VGM composer and leader of VGM/jazz sextet The Hard Modes. To learn more about me and my tunes, please visit www.scorevgm.com. Thanks for listening!
