A film-score-esque orchestral version of the Final Boss theme from Cave Story. (Original here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdAzVhCof_4 )

I had a day where I simply could not get this song out of my head, then I started thinking ideas of how I could orchestrate it. Two days later I finally *caved* and got to work writing it. It's been a month now and I've finally decided to release it. 

This is my first time orchestrating an already existing song, and I'm incredibly satisfied with how it turned out. (Except for maybe the percussion.) 

As always I'm experimenting. 8-bit meets film-score.

Marcato Sound - Cave Story: Finale

A couple weeks back, DrakGamestein asked me to do the instrumental backing track to a Twelve Days of Christmas parody he was doing with his raid-team in Final Fantasy XIV! Needless to say, I was honored.

I had a real blast writing the track, and I'm very proud of it, especially given the very last-minute deadline I was given!

Merry Christmas everyone, I hope yours is a great one. :)

Twelve Days of NESTmas (FFXIV Parody) - Instrumental Track

Just a quick little "victory" outtro I whipped up for Drak's videos. Might expand it into something more substantial, but for now, here's what I last-minute produced for the NEST A11S video's ending.

FFXIV - NEST Outro "Victory"

Fall of Spawnington - Instrumental

Spawnpoint has Fallen - Instrumental

Strings only of Track 2 in the Symphony of Travesty, album from 3 years ago. Still one of my favorite strings sections I've composed when solo'd from the rest of the orchestra.

Who Am I - Strings Only

Just some lyrics and a tune I spontaneously game up with last night during work. Had to record them and ended up doing a harmony too. Might make a good song in the future.

Written from the idea of 'an imaginary friend speaking to its master.'

"Plea's of the Mind" - Vocals and Lyrics Test

Just another symphonic metal test. Whipped this up in a few hours. Still fighting with the instrumentation and mix.

Oops it's more piano.

Fractured Skies - Test

Paradise Lost - PREVIEW

So I decided to mix phonetics and actual lyrics just for the heck of it and it actually created a really cool effect?? (Panned them separately from each other for added 'distant vocals' effect.)
