I can picture this track accompanying a relaxed section of an RPG or similar game. It makes me think of an outdoor location and possibly somewhere the characters have their downtime in between fighting and adventuring, hence the rather uninspired title of 'Village'.

Village

A kinda Jeff Lorber-inspired track (hence the title) but adding in the kind of retro stuff I'm fond of due to the addition of the analog synth bass.

Coast Road

This is an attempt to create something suitable for a game menu. My idea was to write a piece that could cycle continually (such as for a character creation screen, a pause menu, or anything similar) without being too repetitive; that's why I've made use of a lot of major seventh chords and a modal progression to try to keep a sense of freshness whilst maintaining a repetitive overall feel.

RandR

This is an attempt to make use of very clearly synthetic sounds to evoke a particular mood. I wanted the piece to sound calm but not in a cheerful way; I've tried to generate a sense of unease through the heavily-filtered synths. Harmonically there's a movement between a dorian mode theme and the phrygian dominant for some solo sections which generate a bit of melodic interest when the theme is getting too repetitive. I can see this music accompanying a menu selection for a futuristic game, hence the Syndicate screenshot I've chosen to accompany it.

Ill At Ease

This isn't really written with a game theme in mind; more just a tune I've had in my head and wanted to explore. I'm quite pleased with it.

Keep Going

If you didn't like Streets of Rage, Hired Guns on the Amiga 500+, Haddaway, Pogs, Tamagotchi and Twister, you're probably not going to enjoy this track.

Stuckinthe90s

Inspired a bit by Air (one of the best bands ever in my opinion) and the less sex-crazed tunes from the Enigma concept albums.

Resting Up

A cover of this song performed by me and my friend Zoe. Only here to show my parents, really.
