My Music

A short piece using the Una Corda piano library.

Hidden - John Koranek

Artic Prey

Day 1 of the 21 day VGM challenge! Today I created a piratey-sounding track, it might be the theme song of a crooked captain of the background music for his deteriorating fort. Enjoy!

VGMA Challenge - Day 1 - Captain's Hideout

The snow level challenge on quest log level 3. You can almost hear the ticklish penguin.

VGM Challenge Day 3

For today's track, I decided to bust out the e-drum kit and play a 6/8 groove for the compound meter challenge. For some reason, this kind of beat always drives me towards eastern-sounding music, so I created a track that might play before you fight the boss of the Sand Palace. Enjoy!

VGMA Challenge - Day 15 - Sandy Showdown

Day 17! Just a quickie today, it's a song that plays when you finally clear that difficult level :D

VGMA Challenge - Day 17 - Level Clear!

Original song by Nemea, go drink that jazz up sis

it might be a tad quiet, crank that volume slider up

Home Orchestral Remix

This is an old song by Stephen C. Foster that my grandparents like to sing together. They both enjoy classical music too so I made them an orchestral rendition of Beautiful Dreamer that they could listen and sing along with

Beautiful Dreamer - Stephen C. Foster cover

Written as a piece for a string quartet and piano, this track conjures up images of a dusty library full of ancient books.

The Library

Finished making this track in 36 degrees in the studio. Summer is definitely here!

Jumbo Big Band

This track is an exploration of how granular synthesis, amongst other secondary processes, can be used to warp and distort what could usually be considered a "pure" sound - in this particular case, wind chimes from my childhood.

Contamination

This track is the main theme for season 2 of O.M.E.N, a comedy horror RPG actual-play podcast. You can listen to the podcast here: omeninvestigations.podbean.com

OMEN S2 Main Theme

This is my go at the David Wise challenge. I went for a retro style with some old synths in there but wrote it as a composer with all the modern tech at my fingertips. I hope you enjoy it.

"The challenge - a BIG one: Is to take an 8-bit theme and re-interpret it as a modern composer. 30 years ago I composed a lot of 8-bit music, completely unaware that one day people might want to make re-arrangements or music influenced by these early compositions. Battletoads is testament to Nostalgia." - David Wise

The David Wise Challenge - A Synthwave Arrangement

This week's challenge was set by the Tomb Raider composer Nathan McCree. The challenge was to "make an in-game music tune for a Stealth Assassin Endless Runner game. The tune must loop seamlessly with no clicks or gaps."

I took inspiration from a number of different video game soundtracks including Alto's Odyssey, Alone, Fotonica, and Hitman 2. I created the loop by taking part of the intro and placing it at the end of the track so the reverb tails blend seamlessly together. I hope you enjoy it!
