Hi!
Hoo boy have I been busy! Lot’s of work on Archvale and some new music for Somewhen and a bunch of other stuff that’s still under NDA.
But, outside of the world of paid work, I’ve also been busy working on a Radio Show! I now have a monthly show with the lovely folks at 1020 Radio focussing on the weirder, darker and more electronic end of Video Game Music. I’m on 1-2pm every 2nd Tuesday.
You can check it out at the link below, hoping to have some awesome composers on as guests in the coming months so stay tuned for that! 🙂

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.

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:
-
Went for a gentle ambient(ish) thing this morning, again playing around with the granular delay settings in Izotope DDelay quite a lot.
Definitely inspired by Besaid Island theme from FFX today.

Another quick update post on my last couple of days work on the 21 Days of VGM challenge. Here is todays, some lofi hip hop inspred stuff, playing around a lot with the granular delay settings in Izotopes DDelay:
and yesterdays, which is quite different. Tried only using Spitfire audios free LABS instruments for this one, melancholy piano and string stuff.
-
Forgot to post again yesterday! So, two very contrasting styles for todays and yesterdays pieces. Starting with yesterdays, Harold Budd/Ryuichi Sakamoto inspired gentle solo piano stuff:
and todays, which is some weird, wonky 8-bit (ish) techno.

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.
-
Another quick sketch/idea today. Went for something faster and techno-ier (is that a word?!)
Very much inspired by “Conflict Crossover Pt 1” from Martyn Stonehouse’s score for For The Warp.

Another quick sketch for today’s piece, this time I was taking inspiration from the Ice Cavern theme from Final Fantasy 9 (albeit going in a slightly different direction):
Here’s what I came up with:

Super quick one from me today. A sad, short piano sketch, I was imagining this might be a theme that plays when a character dies, and so I named it accordingly…
