Ok, so two songs in to Spookytober...anyone noticing the theme with these exclusive tunes yet? Any guesses on what the next track will be? ;)

I won't give away the answer yet, but the thumbnails should make it pretty obvious for anyone who has played those games.

The cool thing about doing horror based music, is that you can basically throw song structure out the window. A low drone with some creepy elements dancing around at random times is pret...

This post is a touch early isn't it? Well yes, that's because the video is going live in about 30 minutes (as I'm writing this). So if you wanted to join me for the premiere, this is your heads up! :D

It's a battle that has been 2 years in the making, and even I had no idea it was coming to this lol.

Really happy with the tune. There is a cool piano riff in 6/8 that everything is built around. Originally, this was meant as a boss fight theme...

TIME FOR SOME SPOOKY MUSIC!

I have been wanting to release a new Horror based song pack for a while now. Originally I hoped to have it ready by the beginning of this month but uhh, I'm a tad behind (as usual). Just had a bunch of other jobs pop up that took priority.

So even though these are going to start as Patreon exclusives, a couple of them may make ther...

I did the thing again...the thing where today's song didn't make it into the video. :P

Truth is, once I added the song into the scene, I didn't really feel like it fit too well. Not like I wanted at least. And being short on time I just opted to grab Frizbee's main theme (the one from his first video) and slapped it over top and boom. It worked.

Since I'm no longer offering downloads off of Youtube, I feel like I can do this more often. Plus...

Today's tune is pretty different from just about everything else in the archives. If you can't tell from the thumbnail or the title, it's super spacy-pew-pew-shoot-em-up music, Metroid or Galaga style.

I know it may not mesh with most of the JRPG stuff I do, but it's nice to have a little variety, ya? Plus you never know, one of you may surprise me and have the perfect game for this track! :D

The tune for today is a bit ominous, and a bit bad ass at the same time. Listening again this morning, it would be awesome to hear this song performed by a full band. Like, Black Mages style. Maybe I'll be...

Got a cool regal tune for ya today. This was originally written for a game I'm working on. However, my "Indigo" brain kicked in and I totally forgot a very important detail, the dev didn't want 16-bit music. Whoops!

Besides that, the tune wasn't quite right for his game. So, rather than letting it die on my computer, I wanted you guys to have it! Even though it "didn't make the cut," I still think it's a cool song. I especially love the bit from 1:03 a...

Hey Party Members, Happy Friday!

It's strange, it feels like it's been a while since I've done a battle scene but it was only a couple of weeks ago.

Today's tune is definitely a tactical/strategy RPG inspired tune with how the dynamics flow. I think it came out really nice and epic sounding. Big drums, big strings, marching snare. It's good stuff.

This past week has been pretty great! I've been signed on to not one, but TWO new projects. This was a big relief, not gonn...

I had a request come in a couple of weeks ago to remix one of my own tunes. That's always fun, and honestly it makes things a touch easier for me. The song in question was the battle theme in the library. The track was called "If It's A Fight You Want," I believe.

This party member thought that it would make for a good evil empire tune, and gotta say, they were 100% correct! I slowed the pace down, and altered some of the timings of the melody, a...

We are almost through the first tier of fighters. The tournament should start moving a bit faster after we get past them. I labeled the song as "Regal Character" because...well honestly, I wasn't sure how else to identify it. It almost feels more like a world map theme at times. So as usual, use the song in whatever situation you please!

It's been a super busy, but honest...

After doing a handful of requests, I decided to just explore some sounds today. No guidelines or anything, I just wanted to write something a bit different.
There is a log drum in the first half of the song that reminded me of Parasite Eve 2, so that's where the name comes from. Could probably be used in dungeon settings, or perhaps as a character theme.
As always, thank you all so much for your support! I hope you enjoy the tune, and...

Got another request fulfillment today! As the name implies, it was for a Lava cave (an underground lava cave, to be precise), and the reference I was given was the "Caves" track from Diablo 1.
I had to omit some elements, like the guitar for instance. With the 16 bit style, the guitar wasn't really coming across the way I would have like, so I ditched it. I tried to maintain the overall broodiness though, and I think it turned out to be a soli...

Hey everyone! Surprise Saturday post.
Just a quick little announcement that I've been working on a new 8-bit song pack. I'd like to release it as soon as possible, so I've been really hammering away on it when I can.
As of right now, I got about 10 tracks done. I want to do about 10 more before the official public release. I still need to get artwork for it as well, so quite a bit to do!
But these tracks should be good to go and ready for use, if any Mages are interest...

Hey Party Members, Happy Friday!
Today's song is another battle tune (you can never have too many of those, right?) and I'm honestly really proud of how it turned out. It's very much influenced by the music from Final Fantasy Tactics, and I think I captured that feel pretty well.
Ngl, editing this video was a major pain. I kept running into a ton of technical issues. Doing the sideview stuff post battle scene is really tough, and I may have to abandon that approach moving fo...

Today's song is another request fulfillment. My naming schemes tend to not have much mystery about them, so you can probably guess what the request was haha!
I went for a nice balance between calm/peaceful and dark/mysterious. The bright guitar mixed with the light and airy harp and piano made for a nice texture that really brought forth the Italian flavors in this dish....sorry, I've been watching a lot of cooking shows recently. I couldn't resists de...

The new song doesn't make it's appearance until the end, when the 2nd fighter is revealed. It's a bit higher resolution than 16 bit, closer to PS1 quality. I'm planning on doing a bit more stuff like that to pad out the archives with some more variety. I still love doing 16 bit stuff, but I do like to diversify as well.

Well it's time for something a tad bit different. This track was born out of me just letting loose and experimenting with some new sounds I got. To me, it sounds like something you would hear in Minecraft or Terraria (hence the thumbnail and the title). Like last weeks song, I was able to just let it loop and get lost in things, so that's usually a good sign in my books.
I know this one is kind of a different style than what I normally put out there, b...

The song may be a touch niche, but it's just pure fun. Great for wacky cutscenes or characters. Could be used as a minigame tune as well, now that I think of it. Looking forward to someone throwing m...
