Pleased to say that an awesome game project I have been working on over the last month or so has just launched it’s first trailer. I composed the main theme for the game, which you can hear a bit of in the trailer below.

This week I decided to do something I’ve never done before, an orchestral arrangement of one of my all time favourite bits of video game music!
I picked Song of Memories as it’s a super emotive piece that’s pretty simple harmonically & I thought it would lend itself well to orchestration. I never normally write music like this but I felt like it would be a good challenge and I recently picked up Spitfire Audio’s BBC SO Discover plugin so I felt like I should really test out it’s capabilities.
I decided to post a video of the result over the final scene of FFIX as I felt like it worked quite well over the scene, and that I should start to make use of my much neglected YouTube channel! I didn’t score this to picture, but I’m currently working on a re-design & re-score of the opening FMV to Grandia, another one of my all time favourite JRPG’s.
I’ll make sure to post that up here when i’m done, in the meantime, here’s my arrangement of Song of Memories. -
Finished up the last day of 21 Days of Video Game Music challenge today! Pleased to say I managed to write something everyday and I’m pretty happy with most of it! Here’s a playlist of everything:

Forgot to post yesterday so doing a quick double post today! Two very contrasting styles for todays and yesterdays pieces. Yesterday I went for intense black metal, inspired by some silly conversations in the dungeons and dragons campaign I am part of about what a great name for a black metal band corpse wave would be! I don’t have my guitars with me sadly (they’re in my studio which I currently can’t access due to covid-19) so had to make do with samplers.
and then for today I went in a completely different direction! Feeling inspired by freya’s theme/Burmecia from Final Fantasy 9, I went for a sombre piano and choir vibe. Here’s what I came up with.
