Ever wonder what Isaac's Battle Theme would've sounded like if Golden Sun was on the Sega Genesis?  Me too.  The YM2612 soundchip is dope and I love it.

Did this one about a year or two ago and just rediscovered it.  Figured it was worth an upload!

Isaac's Battle Theme (Sega Genesis/YM2612)

Been sitting on this piece for some time, and have been waiting for the right time to post it.  The 20th Anniversary of Golden Sun's US release seemed like a fair enough idea.

The idea was to find a former big, bustling city, similar to something like Tolbi, completely devastated.  Nothing remaining, just a shadow of what it once was.  Maybe something similar to Search For Friends in FF6.  This ended up becoming one of my favorite pieces I've written, and I think it fits into the soundsets incredibly well.  

Enjoy, and Happy 20th Anniversary Golden Sun.  Thank you for the memories.

Ruin (Golden Sun Soundfont)

Finally managed to get Cakewalk back up and running, and wanted to test out writing a song in the style of Shoji Meguro.  Strayed a little I think, but all in all I'm super stoked with how this turned out.

Originally meant to be a Shin Megami Tensei styled Battle Theme, strays between the whole "normal encounter" and "boss battle" style.

Enjoy 🤙

Overdrive (Original Battle Theme)

Commission Piece from @eLTeh. They were looking for an ambient theme as a background piece for a project of theirs, but I threw in some guitars for an extra kick. It was received well.

What is Folf? I dunno man, ask them. What am I, the Lorekeeper?

Folf Hills

Another SMT/Yakuza styled boss fight idea I had in mind.  Was a good way to kind of work on my guitar soloing chops, since there is a fair amount of shredding that I haven't done since college lol.

Strikes me as some sort of recurring character's boss fight theme, who uses the power of Lightning or Ice.  Shoutout to Viri and Grif for name suggestions, since it's not like I had any fucking clue lmao.

Thundersnow

In b4 "MOAR TRUMPETS"

The announcement of the Hoenn remakes sparked a bit of creativity in me.  Plus, in my opinion, this is the best track in the entire game, so why not?

This is all done by ear, so you could probably expect a wrong note or two there.  Plus, some of the orchestration may be off, but I TRIED DAMMIT.  Everyone's a critic.

Recorded using Sibelius 6.

Enjoy!

"Route 120" from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire (Orchestration)

Commission from @eLTeh.  We played around with a few ideas for a battle theme, which is ultimately what it started out as.  But as we progressed, it ended up turning into more a character/group theme.  All in all, turned out pretty sick.  But I may be biased.

Blood Order

So, I kinda like this song a lot, and was bored, AND it just so happened to fit in my range (sort of) which is rare for a Breaking Benjamin song.

All I had on hand was an acoustic guitar, so it doesn't have all the nifty ass effects you'll hear in the original track.  But fuck it, here's my take on it with an acoustic guitar, and like 3 layers of me singing.  Cool?  Cool.

Forget It (Breaking Benjamin Acoustic Cover)

Idea for this song was based around a warrior returning home after a war; a mixture of regret and sorrow for the acts he had to commit to defend his home, as well as pride and happiness that his home and loved ones are still around.  Though successful in his mission, he wonders what lies in store next.

Composed within Cakewalk by Bandlab, using a combination of the BBC Discovery Orchestra VST, as well as the SGM v.2.01 SF2.

Homecoming

Wanted to take a crack at composing my own Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal battle theme, in a similar style to Go Ichinose.  I think it turned out pretty well.  I say it's for a Trainer, but in reality, it could really be used for any kind of encounter.

This is the same style as 8-bit compositions of the time, only three noise channels going at one time.

That's really all I have to say on it, enjoy lol

Original Trainer Battle Theme (Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal)

Started off as just messing around with an Orchestral VST that I've used before, and ended up stringing together some ideas that sounded kinda neat. I originally got Halo vibes from it, another friend of mine draws comparison to Call of Duty 2 (which I have not played).

General idea was to be a character theme of some sort.  Whether that's some sort of heroic dude, war veteran, whatever.  

Or a theme when something epic happens, idk.  I'm not a game designer, i just make doot doots on the internet.

Thanks for listening.

Valor

My take on a track from Golden Sun.  Nothing more, nothing less.

The Elemental Stars (Arrangement)

I attempted to do a character theme this time around, rather than a battle theme like I always do.  Even though there is a bit of battle theme-esque stuff in there.  Leave me alone.

Triumphant Eyes

I hate Judie for showing me this song.  She sucks.

Seriously though, this song is catchy as hell.  And I had someone who's really good to sing with me on it, which was also a massive plus.  Even though singing in Japanese is huge challenge, considering I have no idea how to speak Japanese in the slightest.

With that said, enjoy!

Hikaru Nara (光るなら) - Goose House (Cover)[ft. 1004lights]

Possible boss battle theme for an RPG.  Trying to experiment with a few different styles!

Heroic Tendencies (RPG Boss Battle Music)

Battle theme for weak monsters in the early stages of a game.  Smooth and easy going!

Starting Slow (RPG Battle Music)

Favorite track off of the new album, Dark Before Dawn.  However, there are no instrumentals of this song for me to sing over, and I feel like just doing it with an acoustic guitar wouldn't do the song justice.  So I did what normal people do, and made the instrumental in its entirety in Garageband.  Didn't get to mimic the instruments exactly, but I hope I mimicked the feel and ambiance of the song.  Either way, this was a fun project.

Ashes of Eden (Breaking Benjamin Cover)

Not much to say about this one, just my own piano arrangement of the National Park theme from Gold/Silver/Crystal.  Enjoy!! :3

National Park (Pokemon G/S/C Piano Arrangement)

I just finished the main story of  Pokemon Sun and Moon yesterday, and thought it was fantastic.  Probably the best Pokemon game within the last 10 years.  I actually cared about the other characters, and there was a legitimate story that I haven't experienced with any Pokemon game.

For some reason, Poni Island really stuck with me.  I think I know why, but I won't delve into spoilers.  But this song was just ringing in my head the entire time I was playing through the back part of the game.  It's a really adventurous theme, that I couldn't help but hum for hours upon end once I heard it.

So with that said, please enjoy my piano rendition of Poni Wilds.  (This is also used for pretty much every other route on Poni Island as well.)

Poni Wilds (Piano Arrangement)

A track using the Golden Sun Soundfont I created in Musescore.  

The great thing about this soundfont is that I manage to come up with scenarios for a possible fangame in my head.  For this one, I'm imagining facing off against some deity or antagonist atop of one of the lighthouses; the first part is him monologuing, then once the drums kick in, the battle ensues.  

I've been having a lot of fun with this soundfont, expect to hear more shit from it.

Guardian of the Lighthouse (Golden Sun Soundfont)

Okay, so it's basically just my previous track, "Beneath the Surface," but reworked to fit the Golden Sun soundfont.  The original track was heavily inspired from The Elemental Stars from Golden Sun anyway, so I believe it's pretty fitting.

Among the Stars (Golden Sun Soundfont)

A battle theme for a Venus Adept, done in the style of Golden Sun. Uses inspiration from the Venus Lighthouse theme.

The Power of Venus (Golden Sun Soundfont)

Another original piece, basically my own personal take of a sequel piece of "Colosso Starts" from the original game.  The idea is to be played as you're prepping for your battles in Colosso.

This originally started out to be a victory fanfare, but ended up working out better as it's own standalone piece.

Countdown to Colosso! (Golden Sun Soundfont)

A track to signify feeling alone, yet feeling hopeful that one day the torment will end.

I thought it sounded cool in the FF7 Soundfont.

Isolation (FF7 Soundfont)

This battle theme was originally a commission written for an unreleased fan-game, for a bit of a tournament arc. It will ultimately go unused in favor of another piece, but I still really loved the way this one turned out.

Originally using a GBA soundfont, this was mixed and remastered (with way higher instrument quality) by a dear friend of mine, the wonderful "austin m." Please give them some love on their respective platforms;

Arise (Original Battle Theme)

A higher quality version of the track from Golden Sun, created for Memoir Production's "Golden Sun Dub" project. Was really glad to get to contribute music to this project, and loved the way this turned out. It's great to not have to worry about GBA Hardware limitations and whatnot when it comes to composing stuff.

Enjoy!

Hopelessness (Golden Sun)

I'm just an amateur composer who aspires to do Video Game Soundtracks one day.
