Some of my personal favorite original compositions! These may have come from old projects or DigiPen class assignments, or they may be some of my more recent independent work. Whichever they happen to be, I hope they hold the same charm for you as they do for me.

Personal Favorites

Selections from the soundtrack to "Denizen", my first DigiPen student game team developed with Team Black Star

Denizen OST

A contemplative piece that moves through a diatonic cycle of 5ths, followed by an absolute cycle of 5ths. The sound of the sea in the background of this track pairs nicely with the marimba and kalimba instruments that I chose to compose with.

Ebb/Flow

The setup phase music for a tower defense game called 33TD that I worked on in 2015. This Sega Genesis-inspired track features mechanical sounds as percussion to emphasize the building of mechanical towers and turrets on-screen.

33TD Setup Phase

The music for the second level of my current project, Black Star’s game "Denizen". I'm focusing on a fusion of electronic instruments and acoustic world instruments in this soundtrack, in order to deliver the feeling of rushing through a world mysteriously overgrown by nature. This game is a skill-based action-platformer, in which the player controls a young man with the power of elemental magic.

Denizen Level 2

The background music track for my recently completed project, Black Star's "Denizen".

Denizen Level 1

The background music for the 3rd level in my recently completed project, Black Star's "Denizen".

Denizen Level 3

The fourth background music track for my recently completed project, Black Star's "Denizen".

Denizen Level 4

Written in the loneliness of the COVID-19 quarantine and inspired by "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", this chillhop piece is about the longing for a personal connection with someone truly on my wavelength.

Old Flame

Making kick-butt and contemplative audio for games of the video and real life varieties! Lifelong gamer and musician, appreciator of all sorts of waveforms.
