Pyro Flow

You got flow? You want this. Borderline chill and aggressive, this piece is your man! It does stand alone, but if you got words… it is amazing! Try it! What style is this? I’m not sure. It borrows from a lot – but I don’t think it fits anything out there. Rickenbacker bass, gnarled piano, and a distorted drum kit all fit together beautifully. Percussion breakdown at 2:17.

Phantom from Space

I need to be careful about naming these things. Could be neo-retro sci-fi – could be straight up paranormal! Whatever it is, there is a major mystery to be had here! Ideal for technology-induced mummy reanimation films. The alternate mixes in the full download both give a slightly different feel – one with no percussion, and one without the theremin-like synth lead.

Unwritten Return

Dreamy and edgy; Not a combination you often find, and yet – here it is. The ambiguous and slippery nature of the piece are a wonderful thing. Perfect for scoring a character where the audience is unsure of them. Could be good? Could be evil? WE DON’T KNOW!

I did originally write this piece for Altius Space. I’m a big fan. Giant asteroid claw machine? How can you not be a fan!

Disquiet

On January 31st, 2015, I recorded this piece. For some reason, I hit the record button and played. This is all of the notes. There are no other takes; No other files from that day. I don’t remember what I was doing, but I was apparently dealing with fear and hope and apprehension… at least that is what it sounds like to me today – months later. Every now and again, I’ll find these files – they are something of an emotional journal. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Download has the original MIDI file!

Stuff Review: Hexy

Hexy from Valcour Games.

Today’s stuff review is virtual stuff… possibly the best mobile game I’ve ever played; Hexy (available for iOS and Android). It is free, but give them the $2 if you like the game.

So, why is this game so good?
It is beautiful. The artwork leads to very pleasing combinations of colour and form. I’ve considered doing a painting of some of the game boards. They really do look good enough to put up on a wall.
It is simple. Tap a hex and it rotates. Line up all the forms, and you win! Doesn’t get much easier than that.
It demands no time. If you have 30 seconds and you’re stressed out in line at the store, Hexy gots what you need! If you have a 45 minute wait at the ER, and you need to not be reminded of the searing pain you’re in… Hexy is your friend!
It has no end. These are not people-made puzzles. They are procedurally generated… You can play thousands of games and not repeat a board.
It is satisfying. There are a pile of tiny logic problems that spider out into larger logic problems. You can play on three sizes of boards, so if the large board causes issues – just move to a smaller one!

The music is excellent! Just kidding. There is no music. It is the Hello Kitty of the game world. Its personality is whatever you want it to be. Casual poking? Speed running? Something else? Hexy is THERE for you! Hexy is my friend. It keeps down the anxiety. It makes pretty things to look at. Go get it and make yourself a friend! :-)
