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.

Eternal Terminal

"Eternal Terminal"

Instruments: Percussion, Basses, Bass Clarinet, Tubas, Trombones, Clarinets, Flutes, Oboes, French Horns

Feel: Dark, Driving, Epic

I like the waterphone in this piece. It is a bunch of metal tubes welded together, and played with a bow. It is that creepy high-pitched thing you hear in horror movies all the time.

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!?

Graveyard Shift

"Graveyard Shift"

Instruments: Theramin, Choir, Organ, Percussion, Basses

Feel: Dark, Grooving, Humorous

SpoooooOOoooky! Nothing says comedically spooky quite like a theramin. I don't actually own a theramin, so I cheated. Like I do. This one was created with the ES2 synth, which everyone I know hates and/or fears. It really is just misunderstood, and is quite lovely at parties.

Wretched Destroyer

"Wretched Destroyer"

Instruments: Basses, CellosBassoons, English Horn, Percussion, Pipe Organ, Basses, Violins, Violas, Percussion

Feel: Eerie, Dark, Driving

Have you ever heard a 4 bassoon ensemble before? Not likely. While bassoonists may create temporary pair-bonds, they are never found in groups of 3 or more. Much digital trickery was involved in this piece to make them appear as though they were all in the same room at the same time. Tuba players, on the other hand exhibit extreme flocking behaviour, and have even been spotted in mass migrations.

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!

Shadowlands 6 - The Pit

"Shadowlands 6 - The Pit"

Instruments: Synths

Feel: Eerie, Intense, Unnerving

Part alien cacophony, part organic awfulness, part six of seven. If you set this piece as music you wake up to in the morning, you're going to have a bad, bad day. There will be half remembered monsters from the times of not-asleep, not-awake... whose only jobs are to induce unexpected nausea inside government buildings.

Shadowlands 3 - Machine

"Shadowlands 3 - Machine"

Instruments: Synths

Feel: Eerie, Intense, Unnerving

Part three of seven. Part pipe organ, part broken pipe organ, this isn't just spooky, it is crazy spooky. It also has a musical theme, which not all of this horror moody stuff has. Consider it the jelly filling in your horror doughnut.

Shadowlands 5 - Antechamber

"Shadowlands 5 - Antechamber"

Instruments: Synths

Feel: Eerie, Intense, Unnerving

Part five of seven. Airy, but not in the "I'm outdoors, and everything is great 'airy'" way. More like the "the alien machine that sustains our life is slowly breaking down and poison is beginning to seep from its core" way. Whatever is happening... it isn't fast, and it isn't good.

Shadowlands 2 - Bridge

"Shadowlands 2 - Bridge"

Instruments: Synths, Prepared Piano

Feel: Eerie, Intense, Unnerving

Part two of seven. Very close clusters of tones bring the tension! And that tension wanes and waxes without notice. If you want your audience to be concerned, this is how you do it.
