Astral Ascent & Clock Tower physical release, Wargroove 2 in Japan, Little Known Galaxy and more!

Sorry for the delayed update but I’ve been super busy. I’ll have some incredible news to share this fall but I’ve been working on several games this spring/summer and I have never been more excited in my life!

First is Clock Tower Rewind, which I had the absolute best time working on. Today is the LAST day you can preorder the title’s physical release! But a deluxe boxset was also just announced for Japan!

But preorders for the physical release of Astral Ascent just opened up. This game features one of my biggest soundtracks ever and I’m so happy to have been a part of it. It’s a special game that is resonating with players worldwide and I bet tons of people pick this release up.

Wargroove 2 released in Japan as a physical release that comes with my soundtrack! It was a thrill to visit a Japanese game store this month and pick up a copy. It’s on sale now! By the way: my soundtrack for Wargroove 2 was just nominated for a World Soundtrack Award!

Finally, Little Known Galaxy just released and is doing fantastically already in terms of sales and social buzz. I love it when a small game goes big and I’m glad I got to help out. It’s currently on sale during Steam’s Summer Sale so it’s a perfect time to check it out!

I have exciting news coming for every month for the rest of 2024 so stay tuned!

Perfect Selection Dale North vol. two Released Today

I’m thrilled to release Perfect Selection Dale North vol. two today. This is the follow-up to the surprise success of the first compilation album of various games, jingles, and contributions to other projects I released in 2019. This new one features 24 songs from many projects including Puzzle & Dragons and even Tokyo Game Show! There are several games I’ve worked on where I just contribute a few songs and so you’ll find some of those on here as well.

The album is available on all streaming platforms as of today. Here’s a handy link to find your favorite platform.

How about that cover art! As always, thank you for your support!

Astral Ascent soundtrack is out just ahead of the game's release tomorrow!

My soundtrack for Astral Ascent, Hibernian Workshop’s beautiful hand-animated roguelike, is out today on all platforms. I worked over two years on what basically ended up being a dream soundtrack. It’s more than an 60 minutes of songs that I hope really dig into the incredible action and world-class animation and art the team put into this game.

I recorded in UK, Prague, Bratislava and a few other places, as well as worked with some incredible session musicians to create this soundtrack. Even Emi Evans is featured in the game’s final battle suite. I’m so excited about this game and soundtrack release that I cannot sit still lately!

I hope you enjoy it! Astral Ascent releases on November 14th for PC, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 and 5!

Helvetii is out now!

Helvetii is a beautiful, hand-drawn game based on Gallic Celtic mythology that has so much heart and dedication put into it that it…well, it’s special. I’m very glad to have been a part of this special project.

This is probably my most dark and exploratory soundtrack yet. I used tons of sampling and sound mangling techniques to augment super lyrical orchestral tones for a wild mix of dark and gritty electronic with soaring organic. The icing on the cake is the voice of the amazing Emi Evans, who you’ll know from countless famed video games. She is heavily featured across many tracks and her performances blew even my mind … and I wrote the music!

It’s out on digital platforms including Steam, and also available as a physical release here.

And my soundtrack is available now too! It’s available on all streaming and digital platforms now. Thank you so much for your support.

It's a double soundtrack release day! River City Girls 2 and RWBY Arrowfell soundtracks are out!

For as long as I’ve been writing videogame music I’ve never had two soundtracks come out on the same day…until today! Both River City Girls 2 and RWBY Arrowfell official soundtracks are out on all platforms — iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Tidal and more!. These two titles represent years of work so it’s so nice to finally see them out there. And fans are eating them up already so that’s also a relief.

The Marble Knights Original Game Soundtrack is out today! This rolling (literally, you’re marble knights) fantasy game from the amazing game makers at WayForward has been out for a short bit but the soundtrack is just now…rolling out.

This one was a thrill. From the super fantastic chip tune vs. orchestra sound to the chance to work with the famed Studio Trigger (Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia) I was the happiest marble in the bag for the year or so I worked on this soundtrack.

Oh, and how about that cover art? It’s so good!

Bandcamp, Apple Music and others

Ray's The Dead Original Game Soundtrack is now available!

a2684616537_10.jpg

I'm very pleased to share that the Ray's The Dead Original Soundtrack is now available! Look at that cover art! I had an total 80s blast writing music for this game. The combined efforts of myself virt, Disasteradio, & others really come together to make a total jam of a soundtrack.

I approached this work like a jam. It's me at my most relaxed: just some outboard synths and a mixer and some beats and just synth jamming. It was super fun to do. And there's some pretty wild stuff from me in here. I hope you enjoy! Get your copy here.

Dreamscaper Original Soundtrack released today!

dscover.jpg

I’ve been scrambling to get the Dreamscaper soundtrack ready. I was honestly not prepared for the number of requests for a soundtrack release that rolled in this past week, though it warmed my heart to receive them. So here it is! An hour’s worth of music directly from the beautiful and now popular (Very Positive rated on Steam, at 95%!) game. I’m so happy to be able to share it with you after two years of writing.

It’s coming to all storefronts and streaming platforms in the coming days. And, very soon, it’s also coming to Steam as a soundtrack as well as a game+soundtrack bundle!

Here’s where you can buy and listen as of now:

Apple Music
Spotify
Bandcamp
Several more storefronts

In the coming weeks I’m going to post a full-blown liner notes and soundtrack explainer here on my website. This one is ripe with good stories!

As always, thank you so much for your support. It means the world to me.

Prescription for Sleep: Wizard of Legend released today

a3704894108_10.jpg

I'm very pleased to be able to share with you Prescription for Sleep: Wizard of Legend. This album releases on the 2-year anniversary of Wizard of Legend's release and the 6-year anniversary of this Billboard-charting album series. Norihiko Hibino (Metal Gear series) and AYAKI (Etrian Odyssey) make magic with my tunes, perfect lullabies to sleep, relax, and study to.

Wait until you hear "Arcane Refuge" -- it's so beautiful! “Freiya’s Cage” also blows my mind.

As always, thank you for listening! This is on Bandcamp and coming to all digital and streaming platforms very soon!

Sparklite Original Soundtrack available for preorder now!

EITYHsaXsAE6W9o.jpg

YAY! You can preorder my soundtrack for Sparklite right now! After four years of development and a year of yours truly writing music for it I’m so excited for this game to come out! It releases on all platforms on Nov 14 but the soundtrack comes early, dropping Nov 7. Those that preorder will save some money. Also, on launch day beautiful full-color digital liner notes for the soundtrack unlock as well.


But I'd say don't listen until you play the game for full effect -- one of the few times I'd say this.

And it’s not too late to preorder a physical version of Sparklite as well! Look at this lovely thing!

Out Now: The Long Return

a0122167387_10.jpg

Today marks the release of my latest soundtrack for a lovely upcoming game called The Long Return. It’s a gorgeous puzzle adventure that tells the story of an orphaned cub. You follow along as he retraces his steps through the last journey he took with his mother. It’s…emotional. And hopefully you hear that in my score.

On the personal side this project came along at a time where I was really feeling the need to express myself musically. I’m lucky to get to create music for games everyday but sometimes you just have that need to go all out into your own direction. Developer Max Nielsen let me do exactly that and I’ll forever be grateful for the opportunity. Being able to pour my heart into this meant so much to me. I hope you hear that in it too.

Anyway, it’s out now! On Bandcamp, iTunes, on Spotify, and really everywhere else. I would love it if you gave it a listen. It’s probably my most personal work yet so it would mean a lot to me.

EDO5D_BVUAA4CKW.jpg

I…sorry. I wasn’t telling you to. More like asking enthusiastically. I’m super excited.

The soundtrack to the brand new Arc System Works and WayForward collaboration River City Girls is up for preorder right now! This soundtrack was an awesome tag team effort between Megan McDuffee, Chipzel, Cristina Vee, Nathan Sharp, and myself. And if you missed it, River City Girls is a continuation of the classic River City (Kunio-kun) franchise. BARF! It comes out on all platforms on September 5!

PERFECT SELECTION Dale North, Vol. 1 -- Digital Liner Notes

PERFECT SELECTION Dale North, Vol. 1 -- Digital Liner Notes

Today marks the release of a new album titled PERFECT SELECTION Dale North, Vol. 1. It’s my take on the kind of collection album that Japanese composers and game publishers release (I’ve always loved these), and it kicks off a series of albums of this type for me. In between bigger games and projects I’m doing lots of smaller ones and it occurred to me late last year that I’ve written more than 100 pieces that haven’t been released anywhere outside of these projects. Compiling them into an album has proved to be fun and I can’t wait for the next one!

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First off, the album is available everywhere: Bandcamp, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon Prime Music, Google Play, and more. Thanks in advance for your purchase or stream. It means a lot.

Given that this album is a collection of various songs from several projects I figured track-by-track liner notes would be good to give listeners some background. In writing these I realized that there are some pretty interesting stories. Honestly it took me through a bit of an emotional journey!

So here are the liner notes. I hope you enjoy them

The soundtrack to Majula Frontier is now available for purchase and streaming through several distributors and stores.

Buy/stream here: iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, Bandcamp, and Spotify.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Hardcore Gamer on my work on this soundtrack. Please check that out for more details and song samples if you’re interested.
