Unholy Knight

"Unholy Knight"

Instruments: Organ, Percussion, Choir, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, Trumpets, Trombones, Tuba, French Horns, Cimbasso, Clarinets, Flutes, Oboes

Feel: Action, Bouncy, Mystical

Oh geez, there's lots of notes in this one. The end of this piece is just woodwinds by themselves, and they are super cool. So often the percussion just takes over these pieces, even though there are some beautiful parts that get attention directed away from them.

Obliteration

"Obliteration"

Instruments: Cellos, Basses, Organ, Violins, Violas, French Horns, Percussion

Feel: Action, Dark, Grooving

High-energy, fast-paced, and memorable, this is a great background to your 2D platformer. It was actually written for a 2D platformer, which is why it will loop back on itself so well. Like Ouroboros! If you're looking for a high school mascot, PLEASE consider Ouroboros. I'm not sure if it would make for great cheerleading routines, or if it would end up looking more like a human centipede.... But there is one way to fine out! Go! Fighting Ouroboroses!!

Aggressor

"Aggressor"

Instruments: Drums, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, Tubas, Trombones, French Horns, Cimbasso, Trumpet, Xylophone.

Feel: Action, Driving, Dark

The whole Orchestral Speed Metal genre has been done to death. But you can't consider yourself a real composer if you haven't checked "Orchestral Speed Metal" off your list. Other essential genres include: Electro Emo-Pop, Motet, Disco Noise, Adult Contemporary, Tone Poem, Haircore, and Zydeco Revival.

Nightmare Machine

"Nightmare Machine"

Instruments: Percussion, Organ, Basses

Feel: Action, Driving, Eerie

This piece shares a bassline with "Eternal Terminal" (found elsewhere on this site). It also has the same waterphone. You can use these 2 pieces together and make it seem like your project had a custom composer! How cool is that!?

Burnt Spirit

"Burnt Spirit"

Instruments: Percussion, Choir, Tubas, Trombones, Anvils

Feel: Action, Driving, Eerie

I lost a couple of the synths I used to create this piece between when I wrote it and when I'm releasing it. So, no - I can not do a remix of this piece. If you need less action or less unnerving, seek the answers elsewhere - for this piece has nothing for ye!!

Darkling

"Darkling"

Instruments: Percussion, Violins, Violas, Cellos, Basses, Flutes, Clarinets

Feel: Action, Driving, Dark

Pulsing Dooom! Recommended for use in all your various adventure-y side-scrollers with lots of shooting or stabbing, and the occasional jump-scare. Should loop really great!

Grim Idol

"Grim Idol"

Instruments: Basses, Cellos, Violas, Violins, Flutes, Clarinets, Oboes, Organs, Percussion, Cimbasso, Trombones

Feel: Action, Dark, Grooving

This piece gets a lot of its crazy from the exposed dissonances. So, before you start going on and on about "wrong" notes; They are there for a reason! I'm almost sure of it. They really sound quite intentional. Why else would I write something like that? Totally done with forethought. Yup. 100% on purpose.

Crossing the Chasm

"Crossing the Chasm"

Instruments: Drums, Basses, Cellos, Violas, Violins, Singer

Feel: Action, Dark, Driving

Adventure, Ho! Last time on "Adventure, Ho!", the mage-orc Gnarlnosh was granted 1d4 wishes from a Deck of Many Things and it totally screwed up the game balance. Why? Because the DM sort of sucks, but he thought "Oh, sure - this could be fun... how could giving a mage-orc a fully provisioned army in the middle of a desert possibly sidetrack the quest for finding a cure for a magical disease that is ruining the kingdom AND the healer elf." Deck of Many Things; BAH! More like Deck of This-Campaign-Jumped-the-Shark.

Mountain Emperor

"Mountain Emperor"

Instruments: Taiko Drums, Gamelan

Feel: Action, Driving, Mystical

So many big drums! All the big drums in all one place! Bonus; Extra people banging on gamelan metals! Uncompressed download comes with a version with just the drums... I'm not sure if this of for non-musicologists who may not like the gamelan - or specifically for musicologists who think I've used the gamelan improperly.
