2022-10-21 22:56:37 +0000 UTC View PostHi all - I'm finally in the process of implementing my music into the game which means that the soundtrack is (assuming no last minute adjustments) completely done! A new game patch will be going to the publisher this week. I'm so happy to see my first full soundtrack/album in the game because it marks a milestone in my early career as a video game composer.
As a Patreon sup...
2022-10-18 18:20:13 +0000 UTC View PostHey all! FINALLY I'm out of my hermit hole (Viscerafest + Atomic Heart back to back 😅) and now able to show off lots of music and get back to YouTube stuff.
When Markie started on the VF soundtrack, he had a vision: "I wanted to set the high energy electro feel of [Chapter 1] with this sort of dancey-metal hybrid that keeps driving you forward." When I was handed the torch for ch...
2022-09-29 04:31:15 +0000 UTC View PostYep, that’s right! The one where Mick Gordon is a composer. My super-secret project is this one. You won’t hear much until this game is released, but you can hear a little taste of some music I worked on from 0:17 - 2:56 in this new trailer!
This is why I’ve had to push the YouTube stuff back a bit, and now you can see why I’d choose to do so.
Hope you’re all doing well ...
2022-08-25 16:15:45 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy a preview track from Viscerafest Chapter 2!
Check out the pinned comment for life update stuff. You have heard most of it from me already from my update videos here, but in case you haven't seen that, you can read more =]
(No early access this time since there isn't a file attached - saving that for the full soundtrack release)
2022-08-20 00:56:09 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for the lack up updates in July! Here's what's going on.
(I mentioned the second project started in mid-July. Actually it was mid-June. I misspoke)
2022-08-04 20:47:47 +0000 UTC View PostHi all - I normally do a recorded video for these updates but I caught covid last week and I am still looking and sounding like a sick dude so I figured this would make more sense 🙂

First, I want to give you a little bit of a spoiler for an upcoming YT announcement video because it involves some changes to my Patreon structure:
Starting this month I am ...

Huuuuge thank you to everyone involved in this cover. Now you know why it took so long!
Video is coming out at some point Saturday. Yo...
2022-06-02 23:14:21 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the kickass midtempo gritty synth banger remix of Providence done by my DJ buddy Audiofreq. I think it's rad and perfectly captures the undercity nightlife vibes of a tech world like Providence. Let us know what you think!
(Only slightly early access since it's releasing tomorrow, sorry!)

Slight change of pace but otherwise it’s gonna be an exciting month 🤘
2022-05-02 19:35:20 +0000 UTC View PostNew video coming your way very shortly! In the meantime, enjoy this Argentified (yet, still happy?) cover of Gourmet Race. A song about eating food at the maximum possible speed allowed by physics.
Big (and ridiculous) stuff coming this month!
2022-04-04 20:17:09 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy this cover / unique arrangement of Deliverance by Bear McCreary!
As some of you know, I have already done a cover for GoW3, but this score is something else entirely. Actually very challenging!
Video coming soon. keep an eye out 👀
2022-03-31 02:44:22 +0000 UTC View PostHere are the full songs for my Minecraft double-feature extravaganza.
The first is an experiment... "what if Minecraft's relaxing ambient music written by C418 used a doomy palette?" It was pretty challenging but I'm curious what you think.
The second bonus song is a cover of the Classic DOOM song E1M4 Kitchen Ace (and Taking Names) because why the heck not. You'll see why I d...

2022-03-04 04:08:17 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy this take on the main Dragonborn theme from Skyrim!
I actually experimented with other combat music as well (which is half finished) so you may see more clips come through later on. It was really hard to just pick one song.
This song also involved some extra effort in a few different directions which is why it took longer than usual, and I'll share all that in the upcomi...
2022-02-18 23:06:06 +0000 UTC View PostShorter month, same amount of content!
2022-02-03 20:15:16 +0000 UTC View PostHere's a bonus for all of you who play guitar! In case you haven't seen it, the video is here https://youtu.be/ZjQrlCLEOwM?t=336 and links to audio-only streaming are in the vid description.
I used a 7 string guitar tuned to AEADGBE (drop A).
Bass guitar is the same, but only during the drumming parts. 5 stri...
2022-02-01 21:47:31 +0000 UTC View PostWhat if doomguy jumped into a portal and landed in the middle of a Mad Max/Borderlands/RAGE -esque world full of scavengers and bandit raiders?
That's the question I had to answer for my second original track, where Regius must fight through a makeshift town full of outlaw faction fighters to reach the only working jump gate in the realm.
This song features recordings of knives, nut...
2022-01-29 20:51:46 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I said I needed to write an entire story to make original music, I wasn't kidding! See attached for the first track from Fight Between Realms.
As I was writing this track, I needed to solve the puzzle of "what would argent metal sound like for fighting cybernetically-enhanced people in a city?"
In the PDF, you will notice that there are markers in the story for when each song...

About 3 hrs long. There are some spoilers for upcoming music so be warned!
2022-01-05 19:07:49 +0000 UTC View PostThis month we've got:
Cyber metal sample pack (through Drumforge)
2 original songs
Argent power tools development (+ sample pack version)
Here's a HUGE one for you!
I teamed up with Game Music Collective and David Levy of Doom Eternal The Ancient Gods fame to bring you a Dark Souls soundtrack re-imagining of "Abyss Watchers" like nothing you've ever heard befo...
2021-12-15 20:36:34 +0000 UTC View PostUsually I do these on the 1st/2nd but the 5th will have to do 😄
2021-12-06 03:51:22 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy this early access to this cover of "Vs Ridley", based mostly on the theme from super smash brothers.
Andrew Baena came to me with a sketched out song and a bunch of ideas, and then we worked together to make it a reality. Since I didn't do the guitars, bass, or drums for this one, I had lots of extra time to work out synths and sound effects.
Good? Weird? Heavy af? Let m...
2021-11-22 23:25:30 +0000 UTC View PostI went through ideas for a track that could fit into the Blood Swamps as well as some sound design ideas and arrangement process.
2021-11-06 18:05:33 +0000 UTC View PostI'll post the link in the comment below and in a new post shortly before. We'll be doing a live Q/A while I work on a new song from scratch. See you there!
2021-11-06 06:34:34 +0000 UTC View PostFor my amazing patrons - only one cover this month because I have to finish up something very special for you.
2021-11-02 19:10:45 +0000 UTC View PostEnjoy this early access to my cover of "Megalovania" from Undertale!
This song has been covered and remixed every which way, but I was surprised that no one had brought the guitars down an octave, as far as I know. The arrangement includes a couple of short "cameo" themes from other Undertale songs, so keep an ear open for those.
Thoughts? Let me know! Video coming on Sunday 🎃&nb...
