The in-game theme. It pretty much started with the main Koto melody, and went up from there. Contains more samples from the 20's Chinese song!


Prawn Nigiri

Boss music! I went more upbeat with this one, mixing Drum 'n' Bass with Dubstep in mostly equal parts.

Salmon Temaki

A short title theme for a retro-style game. It borrows its melody from the in-game music; the bell sound is sampled from an old Chinese recording from the 20's.

Squid Tempura

A small jingle that formed the introduction to Super Cock Blockers, an entry into TIGSource's Adult/Education games competition.

Welcome to the Ballosseum

The title screen music from Super Cock Blockers. I created a number of short, simple chiptune tracks in the style of porn music; this is a slightly jazzier version of one of them

Pron Groove (Jazz Mix)

The in-game music from Super Cock Blockers. This is a chiptune remix of a track by Chris P. Bacon, who did the majority of the programming for the game.

Super Cock Blockers

A short ambient piece for a game by Melly that never really got off the ground. It was for TIGSource's Commonplace Book competition, back in 2008. I constructed the track largely from white noise, distorted drums, filtered piano, and samples of me breathing.

Breathing Test 13

This track was used for the credits of György Straub's entry into TIGSource's Cockpit competition, Tragedius. The main synthline was actually and old one that I'd made whilst playing around, and I decided to expand upon it.

Lydian Assault

The boss music for a game called Battle Paddle. I don't think it was ever used, and I never really sent it to anyone, but I actually really like this track. I layer up a lot of stuff at the end, and it doesn't really get too messy.

Kill This Guy

The title screen music from the game of the same name. I threw this one together quite quickly, using sounds from other songs that I'd created for the game. I think it works, though!

Battle Paddle

This is the first song I ever recorded. I believe it dates back to around 1988 or 1989, when I was about 8. My Dad borrowed a fairly basic synth keyboard to record some of his own songs, and when I was noodling around with it, I ended up playing a sequence of notes that I'd mostly lifted from his cover of 'Walk Don't Run' by The Ventures. I did add some stuff of my own to it, and at some point my Dad recorded it. I don't remember this at all, I just remember finding the song on a cassette several years later.

This version is remastered slightly; My Dad still had the original 4-track tape, so I took the individual tracks and cleaned them up, and then re-mixed and mastered everything. I did consider editing out the bum notes, but in the end I decided to keep them in because they're kind of näive and charming. I'll probably end up doing a proper remix at some point.

Midnight Run

A song made from a conversation with a friend. Started off as a fairly simple idea, but eventually got fleshed out into a full track.

Chuds

I decided to give up producing electronic music, and joined a guitar rock band called 'Ample Power'. This is our first song, called... 'Shattered Memories'.

All of this is true!
