William DuFresne (also known as 'Suede') made a short filled called "A Toaster" based on SCP-426.  This is the music that plays during the final scene of the short film, and during the credits. 

The full short film can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2J2ALAGBIU&channel=UCofQ5pFBxRU-B3LR5FjwZDw

Ending Scene and Theme from "A Toaster" (Suspense/Horror)

This was the title theme that I wrote for Mike Jeavon's film "NerdQuest," which incidentally is a bit of a suspense/horror film despite the 'epicness' of the title theme.

Title Theme to "NerdQuest" (Cinematic/Orchestral Theme)

This is my theme for the upcoming strategy game from Shenandoah Studio, "Desert Fox: The Battle of El Alamein," which is another WWII title focusing on the titular battle in northern Africa. 

The game is slated for release during this spring, so keep your eye out for this title!

The Approach of the Fox (Theme to "Desert Fox: The Battle of El Alamein")

Another track I put together for a friend's video, this one is specifically meant to be related to/evoking the sense of a watch ticking along as passages of music flow about it.

Victor's Lament (Man Vs Game Dark Souls II Character Theme)

This is the track I put together for A Shell In The Pit (https://twitter.com/AShellinthePit) and Tettix (https://twitter.com/Tettix) as part of the album "Rogue Legacy Reborn" (https://loudr.fm/release/rogue-legacy-reborn/pT8by). 

The album features music by 22 composers/songwriters, and covers a wide range of genres.  My particular submission was trying to take the simple tune that you'd hear every time you start a new generation...and gave it a bit of a revamp!  This featured guitar work by my friend/co-worker Bob Patterson, with everything else being sequenced and mixed by Me.  Mastering was done by Gordon McGladdery/A Shell in the Pit.

Fiona Frightening and the Wicked Wardrobe Theme

A quick remix I put together, inspired by the great Michiru Yamane's theme for the recently kickstarted 'Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night'

You can find the Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night

Youtube version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvgoLkUunUs

I wanted to try and take her melodies, and put them generally in the context of an older 'Castlevania-like' sound.  Hopefully you enjoy it, whether or not you feel I hit the mark!

Software used: Steinburg's Cubase 8 Pro
Software instruments used: Plogue's Chipsounds for all instruments.

Rise Of The Night (Remix of "Theme of Bloodstained" by Michiru Yamane)

This was my track for Successor: Final Fantasy VIII Remixed, the newest release by The Materia Collective. In an attempt to fuse pseudo-trap and pseudo-Snarky Puppy aesthetics, I was able to have the fantastic Francisco Cerda (https://franciscocerda.bandcamp.com) to lay down a synth solo for me here!
