Completed Songs -- Showcase
---6/27/24--- "Cowboy Sancuary" The last song composed for "Come Hell or Holy Water" and the would be credits theme!
---5/9/24--- "Cybergarden" was originally a song I composed to practice with compressors, but it turned into a level theme for Driftshot after deciding it was too polished for me not to use it anywhere.
---2/7/24--- "Wobbly Pillars" is a song about having to cross a dangerous bridge... but you have to get to the other side no matter what.
---1/21/24--- I really wanted to write an emotional song for an opening cutscene while also sticking to a feeling of dread. "What Happened" is what came out of that, and I consider it one of my better songs, at least compositionally.
---11/29/23--- "Ashenfall -- [Grey Rain]" This song plays the role of meloncholic "winter theme". Although the truth behind the snowy landscape is that white ash has fallen from the sky and covered the earth in a post apocalyptic setting. So yeah... not super happy.
---1/28/24--- "Battle Against the Sparking Ghost" is a conceptual RPG battle theme I made for a fight where you have to face off against a stage-hogging spirit!
First Song: Where it all started
When I was a kid --like a little one-- I took an interest in piano. I got some lessons, learned how to play. I liked to pick out songs I heard in games and even tried to compose and write down my own songs in an old ELA book I had from school... and to this day I'm still an amateur at piano ('0>0) .
(Still practicing tho)
The end of my junior year, I decided to purchase a DAW called FL Studio and actually play around with composing. It didn't last super long, as I had already been deep into a RPG maker project and was distracted by outside school and work.
"Crystal Railway" was the result of this. It was me trying to make a real song using soundfonts and samples "just likeToby Fox and Yousuke Yasui".
Although it was just a case of "Pillbird See, Pillbird Do." ---just replicating what I heard in other songs--- it was technically the start of my...
