This town theme was pretty much a 30 minute improv at 5am.  Not much to say except that I like how it turned out.  Kind of feels like there is a little sense of urgency in it, but not so much that you can’t relax.

Instruments Used: Roland Fantom X, Kontakt

Dramatic cue upon entering a foggy, rustic village that had just been ravished by zombies.

A dungeon theme heavily influenced by a dungeon called The Ravine at the end of Valkyrie Profile 2.  Valkyrie Profile 2 is actually a very inspiring game to me, due to it’s hazy fantasy soundtrack and somber colors.

My vampire-influenced theme that I wrote for a contest.   I had a really hard time with this one, not only because I had to keep it under one minute, but also because nowadays I have no idea how vampires sound like anymore.  After about two days of failed motifs, failed ideas, and failed riffs, because I couldn’t think like a vampire enough, here’s what came out – something trailer-esque for a game.  I wanted to do another attempt, but ran out of time..

Instruments Used: EWQLSO Platinum, Samplelogic Libraries, EWQL Symphonic Choirs

Some older music I did way back when.  Probably before I really knew what I was doing.

Princess of Frost

One of the very first songs I made on my Yamaha Motif when I still had one.  This song is 10 years old.  I can’t believe how long ago that is.  It’s my iteration of a fight against some Ice Sorceress (not unlike that Frost Queen from Narnia).

Instruments Used: Yamaha Motif, Virus C

Theme of Ellis

A short theme I wrote for piano when I was studying harmony and voice-leading on my own, so there’s some unresolved cadences in there.  Think medieval princess theme or something (greensleeves?).  I called it Theme of Ellis because Ellis from Toshinden popped into my head and I really couldn’t think of anything else to call it.

Not much to say here,  but thought it was a cool dungeon concept.

Winter-influenced fantasy town theme.

Here are some tracks that I made a long, long time ago with Reason 2.0.  Just a laptop, and Reason in between my classes.   This was back when I pressed TAB on the Reason GUI, and saw the back panel with all the cables and how they WIGGLED.  That was damn intimidating.

Now, more cables and plugs = good.

Magnetic Fields – Dungeon BGM

Heavily inspired by Star Ocean 3’s coolest character, Maria Traydor (hence, the title).  Written during my break between community college classes.  It sounds very much like something I’d hear on the Genesis, like in some Phantasy Star dungeon.

A song Ted and I worked on when we were trying to make some songs that sounded like Persona.  Yeah…

A song I put together in one day when my Cousin JC and his friend Ferd came by to visit.  They both wanted to record, and this is what came out of it.  I’m really surprised at how well the vocals turned out, considering it was just a Nady SCM that I picked up for $40.

Instruments Used: Battery 3, Kontakt, various loops blatantly taken from the multitude of places out there

Sketch of yet another song that did not come into fruition.  Saddened. I really like this song and I wish we were able to finish it.  It’s called the throw up remix because Ted and I are clowns while recording.

Instruments Used: Reason, Battery 3

Cool idea that popped into my head while my friend was showing me some B-boy videos. Needs some rapping!
