Pieces of music I wrote for my own amusement.
Most of these were completed in the early 1990's when I first got my MIDI
equipment. I barely touched it between 1993 and 2008, when I started work
for Tinderbox Entertainment. Most of these tunes are dark in tone and have a very synthetic sound. My technical skills weren't the greatest either so some glitches are obvious. |
In November 2008, I started writing music for a small video game company called Tinderbox Entertainment. | This music was written for a video documentary of Tinderbox Entertainment's participation in the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) in 2008. The first draft of the video included 11 "scratch tracks" of music that we don't have the rights to use. I wrote 8 original pieces to replace the temporary tracks. I did my best to match the style and tempo of the temporary music. Most of these end abruptly because they are faded out in the final video. |
|
Player "Solo" A short, single instrument piece I wrote back in 1992. It's pretty much my favorite because of the mood I think it portrays. |
Player "Sushi" for Sushi Bumper Sumo Fun Game Champion This is a loop of music for the play time in the Sushi game. This piece did not end up getting used. |
Player "Friday" from PAX Documentary This piece was intended to be in an "electronic" style and I think it turned out the best of the entire series. A slightly different version was used in the video. |
|
Player "Rome" I can't remember why I named this one Rome. I'm sure it used to make sense but that was 1992. |
Player "Logo Sound" for Tinderbox Entertainment This is the current draft of the music that plays along with the company logo when their video games first start up. |
Player "Bainbridge Island" from PAX Documentary My second favorite. This one sets a peaceful mood near the beginning of the video before the big adventure gets rolling. |
|
Player "Dream" This was one of the first pieces I ever wrote (1991). It's a bit long but I like the various melodies in it. Maybe I'll redo it sometime. |
Player "Intro" from PAX Documentary This one is the only one with an ending. It starts the video then ends by leading into the company logo. |
|
|
Player "Surprise" I think this was called surprise because it changes style and key several times. Another 1992 composition, this one has some interesting rhythm elements that I didn't remember doing. |
Player "Driving" from PAX Documentary My first attempt to create a beach rock-style of music, which is something I never figured I would do. Weird. |
|
|
Player "Orchestra" My only classical-ish piece. It was my favorite for a long time and I really like the ending. |
Player "Still Coding" from PAX Documentary Another first for me. Though it really didn't turn out that way in the end, it started as an attempt at disco. There were a lot of unusual styles mixed in this video. |
|
|
Player "Metal" This is not even a little "heavy metal". The name came from one of the instruments I used. It does, however, have a bit of cowbell in it. |
Player "Ethereal" from PAX Documentary A short bit of moody atmosphere played behind a moment of reflection in the video. |
|
|
Player "Boom" This is such a product of the music I liked at the time it was written (1992). Very, very "synthy". Super cheesy but I still kind of like it. |
