Healer #233 Shop

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

I've been in a Sci-Fi mood recently, so the tracks I'm writing are very "electronic" sounding. It could be because I've been playing Gravity Circuit...have you played that one?! If you like Megaman, you should look into it...soo good.

Anyway lol, for this tune I was picturing a little mechanic shop, where you purchase upgrades between stages or something. All you need is some little anime robot girl in the bottom right corner of the screen, a currenc...

Warrior #213 Cyber Dungeon

Happy Friday Party Members!

I think it's been a couple months since I've done a sci-fi style track (I thiiiink?) so I thought today's track would be a great opportunity to remedy that.

I've played a couple of "modern games" recently and I do notice that they tend to have long droning tracks where elements kind of pop in and out from the base idea. Not always of course, but it is a pattern I've heard. I took that approach with this tune, just keeping a core idea running through the...

Healer #232 Title

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Got another 16-Bit track for ya today. I'm trying to sprinkle those in a bit more again.

This is a track that could work really well for any emotionally charged scene, but it could also work particularly well as a title screen theme. It was giving me Breath of Fire vibes, personally. Man I'd love it if that series made a come back.

The whole track sits on one short progression, with different elements coming in to create the sections. That's pa...

Warrior #212 Forest

Happy Friday Party Members!

Ok so, I initially wasn't picturing an icy/snow environment for this track but...

IT'S SNOWING TODAY!!! WOOO!

It's been a few years since we've had a good snow here, so I'm excited for it.

Anyway, this track is really meant for a forest, but hey, it snows in forests too so why not?

Structurally, I tried to do a couple of things slightly different than usual. Mainly in the middle section. Idk, it would be hard to explain here but it was...

Healer #231 Village

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Today I'm doing something I used to do a lot, which is mix PS1, N64 and SNES sounds all into one tune. Ultimately a lot of the sounds came from the Quest 64 soundfont (which is really great btw) but there are a few others mixed in there as well.

This is a good starting village tune, which works well since we are at the start of a new year. I don't have a ton of insight into it, just that it was a nice and pleasant tune that popped out. I swapped ou...

Healer #230 Tribal

Happy Saturday Party Members!

Oh man! I meant to post this early this morning, but I'm not used to posting on Saturdays so it slipped my mind unfortunately.

This is the make up song for last Wednesday. I told ya I was going to get something to you guys this week!

I just went for vibes on this one. Its very simple and a touch sparse, but it's still got some character to it. Like some ancient tribe that's just hid away in some cave on the other side of the world or something....

Warrior #211 Main Theme

Happy 1st post of the year Party Members!

Today is a return to form. This is the first 16 bit tune I've released in a while (at least here on Patreon). But there is actually a whole story behind it.

A couple years back I was brought on to a big project that had a LOT of promise. There were (supposedly) some pretty big industry names associated with the project, a lengthy roadmap listed out, and an already growing community surrounding it. I was brought on to be the main composer f...

Happy New Year!!!

2025 huh? That's absolutely wild...

To be honest with you, last year was a bit of a roller coaster. There were a lot of bumps and bruises gained. There were parts of my life where I took steps forward and there were things that I neglected and lost ground with. I definitely didn't make it out unscathed.

BUT...I'm still here, and that is a huge blessing. 

I've got a new game plan for 2025. I've just wrapped up on a big project that...

Warrior #210 Snow

Happy Friday Party Members!

Welp, here we go. Last song of the year. I didn't do anything huge thematically. Really this is much like Wednesday's song; just a calm and peaceful, introspective tune. I really like it though, its one I can easily just play on loop in the background.

Honestly there is a lot I want to say in this post, but maybe that stuff would be better in a video post. I haven't done one of those in a while, and what better time than to start off the new year?? Hm...

Healer #229 Snow

MERRY CHRISTMAS PARTY MEMBERS!!

Thought I'd go ahead and post the song early since tomorrow many of us will be celebrating Christmas and spending time with family.

Hard to believe this year is almost done. This is the LAST Healer tune of 2024. And rather than go out with a big, boisterous song, I thought I'd do something a bit more reserved and peaceful. So this is just a solo piano piece meant to invoke the image of snow falling. Hope you like it.

Thank you all so much for...

Warrior #209 Forest

Happy Friday Party Members!

This one is pretty cool. I took some inspiration from FFX as I was laying things out and that really led to some pretty nice sounding sections. There are lots of spacy sounding synths, but for some reason layering them up the right way gives things a bit more of a wintery feel...or maybe it's just because that's what I was picturing in my head before hand that it sounds like that lol.

Sometimes I forget that I need to do that step first. Meaning, findin...

Healer #228 Mountain

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Even though I'm not using the soundfont, I feel like this track is channeling some DKC energy. It's a very moody and atmospheric track, especially in the opening. The latter half has a bit more of an uplifting sound to it but still...

As the name implies, I picture some kind of snowy mountain area to use this song in. But as usual, the limit is only your imagination. Would love to see this track used in a scene that I would never expect lol.

As...

Warrior #208 Church

Happy Friday Party Members!

Peaceful winter tunes continue with this one. I went with a village theme, though it's got a "Holy" kind of quality to it as well. Almost reminds me of something you'd hear in Quest 64...is that game anyone else's guilty pleasure?? (Besides the official fan account guy on Twitter lol).

There are only 4 songs left this year. That's so crazy...granted I do have a bunch of other songs on the agenda still but that's besides the point lol. Maybe if I'm reall...

Healer #227 Village

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Today's tune we are venturing up North to visit a cozy little town covered in snow and eccentric engineers. That's what I picture in my head at least.

This song actually came to be a couple weeks ago, but I thought I'd save it for December since it has a touch of a wintery tone to it. I know it's labeled village and the title is "Tinker Town" but this song could also work well in a forest or cave area. (Great title btw lol)

Only a couple more s...

Warrior #207 Winter

Happy Friday Party Members!

Phew well I'm really happy with how this one turned out. Especially because it was a last second change of plans!

I went through a couple of ideas yesterday but nothing was really sticking. I had 2 "almost good" tracks but I had lost steam on them pretty quickly, and was trying to figure out which one I wanted to stick with for today's post.

For whatever reason I just opened up a new project and almost immediately found the sound that opens up the...

Healer #226 - Snow

Happy Wednesday Party members!

Alrighty, we are officially into December! I generally like to write snowy/wintery type themes this month (though I'm not nearly as strict about it as I am in October/Spooky month). So I'm starting us off with something pretty chill (pun not intended but appreciated).

Who doesn't love a good wintery area in a game? To me, they often have a reputation kind of like water levels, in the sense that those areas have great music.

Hopefully I captur...

Warrior #206 Isle

Happy Black Friday Party Members!

That time of year is officially upon us. The temp is dropping quickly now, Thanksgiving is done, and Christmas season is kicking in to full gear and a new year is right around the corner.

Rather than doing something cozy and wholesome I figured I'd do something completely out of season...island music! Well, I say it's out of season, but who wouldn't like to just disappear to an island right about now? Just kick back on the beach for a month or so...

Healer #225 Village

Happy Wednesday Party Members...and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I know it's a day early, and also tomorrow is just a normal Thursday for all of you outside the U.S. but Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year. Any excuse to get together with family and friends and have an awesome meal is good enough for me haha.

So in the spirit of the holiday, I decided to "return to my roots" and make a peaceful 16-Bit village tune for ya. Can't remember the last time I released a 16-Bit tra...

Warrior #205 Frontier

Happy Friday Party Members!

Yesterday was a good writing day...and what that means is I was able to get this song knocked out in just a couple hours.

Ngl, with all the commission work I've had recently, I've been feeling a touch drained. It's going to be good to have some time off next week! That being said, I was really thankful that this song presented itself to me so easily. Really not much pushback on it, which is always very much appreciated. :D

Anyway enough about tha...

Healer #224 City

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

Today's tune is a funky city groove. It's kind of a blend between a high tech sci fi and an island-y tune, at least to my ear. I used a bunch of instruments from Chrono Cross, which may be what is giving me that island vibe lol.

I honestly don't know what to say on these like 90% of the time, and today I'm really drawing a blank, so sorry if today's post is a bit of a shorter one. I think I'm just really tired this morning lol. Been in heavy writing...

Warrior #204 Fighting

Happy Friday Party Members!

Time for some high energy, late 90s fighting game music! That means crazy breakbeats, layered synths, e. pianos and sick guitar riffs. Those are the rules.

This one came to me last week, and its been stewing in the background till today. I had it mostly together but there were a few parts that needed tweaking and adjusting to get it sitting just right. Really happy with how the guitar riffs in particular came out.

As always, thanks so much for you...

Healer #223 Desert

Happy Wednesday Party Members!

I think it's been a while since I've done a "desert" theme. This actually didn't start off like that, but as soon as I started in with the lead instrument at 0:16, I knew that was the direction this one was going. XD

The looping point gave me a bit of trouble at first, but I got it working this morning. You may have heard me say this before, but honestly getting things to loop seamlessly is often the hardest part about this gig. Some tracks just ...
