I wrote a whole storyline for 'Dragon Wars'... I really nerded out on this one, guys. Haha! What fun.

A young boy lives with his parents on a farm. Upon return from running errands, he finds the farm in ruins, his Mother has been murdered and his Father is missing. He finds a note ordering ‘the boy’ to be taken to Castle Mortuus bearing the seal of the Mortuus Dragons, a cult who worships dragons despite them being extinct for years and develop a martial art based on them. 

The Father must have withheld where the boy was, and was taken in his place. The boy sets off to save him. He seems to have taken on too much as the wilderness leaves him inches from death until suddenly, he discovers the Heros Dragons living in a heavily fortified settlement. He is told that the Dragon Order split years ago since the leader went mad, people either chose to follow him or join the new half; the Heros Dragons. They recognise him as his Father’s son and take him in. 

After training with them, he is back on the road to Castle Mortuus with a team of Dragon soldiers. He battles through the grounds and into the halls of the castle and the whole team falls. Finally, he confronts the Mortuus Dragon Leader alone. He reveals that he wanted his Father, not him. The note was written years ago when the leader went mad. He decided his Father was perfect to host the spirit of a dragon stored in an ancient relic. He spent too long too close to the possessed relic and lost his mind.

His Father emerges, his mind irreversibly possessed by the dragon and began to battle with the hero until finally; he had no choice but to kill his own Father.

(The Father is the villain, not the Dragon Leader. I just imagined this would be cool playing in a super awesome final cutscene madness time crazy fight times)

City Theme (Fortified Settlement of the Heros Dragon Army)

I wrote 'Victorian Mushrooms' around 'Sherlock-esque' imagery. I imagine a character inspecting a garden blotched with large tree-sized mushrooms.

Victorian Mushrooms

Soule Bur'Tonne

I've been working on this piece in my own time. I imagine some kind of skirmish in a concert hall. If your mind conjures any images while listening, I'd like to hear about them!

Opera House Brawl

This Means War is a short score influenced by modern, action themed film scores. Enjoy!

This Means War

'Today's The Day' is a short piece intended to resemble an inspiring, positive film score.
I imagine it to be quite fitting at a cinematic introduction to an inspirational story. I also imagine it to be set somewhere in Asia, hence the bamboo!

Today's The Day

This is a piece I wrote in the style of a cinematic epic, lending itself to the themes of war, tragedy and triumph.

War of the Galaxy

Here's a track I started yesterday afternoon, it's a little different to my usual uploads. 
Enjoy.

Sit With It

I wrote this with the intention to be used in the video game 'Beat Saber'.
For that reason I used some fairly clear '2 over 3' polyrhythms between the beat and the guitar part in the later section.

Enjoy!


I used fan art buy 'Ethurs' who can be found here:

Beat Boy

I wrote this for my Composing & Arranging coursework. 
It's about a magnificent King who fights off the enemy to grant him and his people the right to be the first to climb Mount Draconem... But does all go according to plan? What's that? Unexpected conflict resulting in a story arch?! You better listen to find out what happens!

Lyrics:
-INTRO
In the ancient times of the dragon
Their power was lusted by men,
So they retreated to where only they could fly,
And they named it Mount Draconem

-VERSE
What a sight to behold,
He is feared by all gods, new and old!
Angels cry for him while demons die for him,
His soul can never be sold!

Watch as he kills that dark mage! 
And locks that dragon... in a cage!
Curses rebound on him, dragons are fun for him!
He'll win us Mount Draconem!

When no hope remains,
You feel like you're going insane!
Hither he comes, astride a great stallion!
The pride of your side is maintained!

The enemy lies on the ground,
He stands addorning the crown!
Thanks the gods! Our lands and towns!
We're safe for miles around!

-INTERLUDE
But upon return...
To the homelands of the brave.
Thousands lay on the scarlette ground, 
They were the men he could not save!

Like the fall of a dragon slain, he realized what occured.
The height of the fight had blurred his sight, this is all so obsurd!
It must have been a decoy, so the enemy could make their way,
They snuck away to Mount Draconem, our families they did slay!

He rallied men by the thousands, then
He turned away, with fire in his eyes,
and he climbed Mount Draconem!

-OUTRO
A long and weary climb, up Mountain Draconem
Treacherous trolls and an army of dragons brought our thousand down to ten!
Higher they did climb, and the louder they became,
After centuries of silence, the ancient Dragons roared again!



The picture is an awesome piece of Dragon Age fan art! :
