March of the droids

The word is out, the droids are coming, and there's nothing you can do to stop them. One by one, single file, everyone will fall to the long arm of the robots! As the music strolls along, you'll know that you have no chance for survival. Systemically all will fall.  This song is an updated version of "curious tragedy" (repackaged and named properly)

Website Update

I've made some major changes to the website to make it more user-friendly.  I integrated facebook by using the like/share system, updated the comment system, and got rid of a bunch of redundant buttons and menu options.

The comment system update was much needed because the old system was out of date and void of features.  It also didn't have much customization and I was really dissatisfied with it.  However, I was quite fond of the old comments and sadly they are all unrecorded history.   It sucks because they're still in there but I don't know where they belong so we're just starting from scratch.

There never was a need for two separate menus to go listen to my tracks and I think it just confused and overwhelmed my visitors. Hopefully the new layout is much easier to use! That being said, suggestions are welcome. Thanks to everyone for their continued support.

Go To Hell

Go To Hell features the songs "Eternal" and "Driven" (and possible others) which are available for download from my website.  While I've been finding a good amount of videos, demos, and games using my songs I thought this one in particular would be worth mentioning.  The main reason is that I've received quite a bit of traffic from this game.  I honestly don't understand why you can't find it on Kongregate(my favorite flash site), but nonetheless it's scattered across many flash portals all directing traffic to my site!

 The game much reminds me of "Bolder Dash" or "Dig Dug" - as you're digging around and avoiding falling obstacles and enemies.  However, things are more complex when dealing with water.  The water seems to follow you wherever you go, and while you can swim in it you have to watch your water meter or you'll drown.  On top of that you have to watch your food meter and make sure you keep eating hunks of meat along the way. 

 The game becomes a frantic journey downward as you avoid water, chase food, and dodge enemies while collecting as many coins as you can along the way.

It's quite a challenge, and it's very well polished.  Thanks to Metasauce for making a great game!

Mad Mad Men

This rockin' tune features the use of synth lead guitars and fast thrashing drums.  Many different parts keep it from being repetitive, and it's intensity builds into a release of strong melody.  This was my first song using synth leads, and so it was very difficult to put together and took 3 days to finish.  It's rapid pace would make it ideal for racing games, or something with a theme needing highly intense music.  It also seamlessly loops perfectly.

Trade Off

Techno, Pop, Chip Tunes, and Hip Hop all in one.  This song brings in a catchy melody that elevates the mood.  Transitional sections bring the mood back down to a neutral sway, with just a hint of underlying sadness carrying the smiling chip tune through the end.  The tune is quite catchy, so it would do well in a spot where it compliments rather than interrupts the whole experience.
