2015 Showcase/Reel

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.

Watchmaker

Just a basic musical theme I came up with while watching Man Vs Game play some Dark Souls 2.  Feel free to give it a listen and give some ideas if you want.

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

A track I wrote for a friend's video to act as background music. Created in Studio One 2.6 using a variety of virtual instruments, and meant to be a relatively relaxing track, despite having some heavier-hitting drum sounds.

P.S. I apologize to any friends in Scandinavia for my use of 'Å' in the title for purely stylistic purposes.

Empathios

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.

Please click on the 'Buy' button to check out the rest of the album - $10 for all 22 tracks, and if you wish to support the artists by contributing more, that'd be great!

SeaSawHorse (Succeeded By Skitch)

Obscurus Lupa, a great friend of mine and hilarious reviewer of the best in schlock, decided to transition her show's format and style a bit, and with it, a swanky new intro that needed music that matched its silkiness.  Hence, this track was made.

All hail the majesty of Embertone's Sensual Saxophone, which can be acquired here: http://embertone.com/instruments/sensualsax.php
