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.

RWBY Arrowfell collector's edition includes our soundtrack!

It was announced today that a collector’s (and normal physical release) of RWBY Arrowfell will be released soon. Preorders are open this Friday for both but I’m highly biased toward the collector’s edition…because our music is included!

Of course, the game is available now digitally on all platforms.

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.

Oh, and the official River City Girls 2 vinyl release is still on its way!

RWBY: Arrowfell is out now!

RWBY: Arrowfell is available now digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox, and PC via Steam! This game is based on the hit animation, featuring an in-canon story set during RWBY Volume 7. The coolest part is that the team at Rooster Teeth created original animation for the game to set the stage and tell the story. We were even joined by the original voice cast!

I was in charge of the music and as a longtime fan of the RWBY franchise it was an absolute honor to set this to music. We went wild with the soundtrack too! You’ll find rock, jazz, ballads, silly tunes, and epic fusion among its songs. And a huge thank you to my amazing music team: Peter Reid Jones, Hunter Bridges, Jordan Chin, and Caleb Hyles.

I hope you enjoy! News on the physical release of the game as well as the soundtrack are coming very soon!

I wrote a TON of music for Disney Wish!

Sharing my biggest project yet...literally! I wrote a TON (135,000 tons) of music for Disney Wish, Disney's newest & largest cruise ship. You'll hear my music across games, interactive experiences, movies, ...and I even singlehandedly scored an entire stage show. An absolute honor!

I composed the main theme and full score for the Uncharted Adventure experiences you'll hear and see all over the ship across mobile, AR, interactive screens, and stage. Writing music for Mickey and Minnie cartoons feels unreal even now. It was all incredibly challenging and rewarding and I would have never imagined in a million years that I'd one day do this.

If you manage to take what sounds like a dream cruise on the Wish, let me know what you thought about the sound/music!

Brand new RWBY: Arrowfell trailer drops at RTX today

Here’s a brand new trailer for RWBY: Arrowfell, the new action game based on the hit show, coming from Rooster Teeth, WayForward, Arc System Works…and me. Well, I head up the music but I’m also working with amazing talents such as Peter Jones (he works on the show as well!), Hunter Bridges, and Jordan Chin. We are so excited for people to hear a bit more of our soundtrack today.

And with todays’ trailer comes the news that the game drops on all platforms this fall. Please look forward to it!

Dreamscaper gets a physical release and includes my soundtrack!

I’m so happy to share that Dreamscaper is getting a physical release…next week. There’s the $34.99 standard version as well as a mega deluxe one that comes with the game, a poster, a beautiful art book, and my soundtrack on CD. Orders begin on July 8. If you end up picking it up, thank you so much!

Astral Ascent is available in Early Access today!

I’m very excited to share that Astral Ascent, the beautiful game by Hibernian Workshop that I’ve been working on for the past couple of years, is now available on Steam in Early Access. This means that a good slice of the full game is there for you to enjoy. Get it here now!

Of course, this game features a ton of my music. You’ll hear new music from me in the above debut trailer as well! I’m so excited to have people finally play what we’ve been working on for so long. But! I’m not done with the music. There’s so much more to be added and I’m so looking forward to writing and recording it. The next step forward happens in May, where a new string orchestra recording session is schedule for some of the music.

This beautiful, hand-drawn 2D roguelike is also fully self-published, so any and all support is appreciated. Thank you!

Wizard of Legend's latest update triples my music in the game...kinda

The very latest update to the hit roguelike Wizard of Legend takes my soundtrack and expands on it greatly. You’ll meet Melody the Jukebox now, and speaking to her will let you change the music to the game. Aside from my original score you can also now pick music from the Wizard of Legend Piano Collections album as well as the Prescription for Sleep album. And, you can speak to Melody to just listen if you’d like.

Of course, these albums are still available for sale:

Prescription for Sleep: Wizard of Legend

Wizard of Legend Piano Collections

Wizard of Legend The Complete Soundtrack

Thank you for checking it out if you do! And thanks for your support!

My most relaxing soundtrack yet, Alchemic Cutie, is out now

Out ahead of the game’s launch on Xbox Series X|S & Xbox One on September 28, my soundtrack for Alchemic Cutie is out right now. Unlike, well, many of my recent soundtrack releases, which focus on high action, combat, and adrenaline, Alchemic Cutie’s primary goal is to be relaxing. So it’s 22 pieces of the most laid back, sweet, calming music I could muster. Well, aside from a few funny songs.

The soundtrack is out now on all platforms including Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and many others.

I hope you enjoy it!

New project announcement: Undergrounded

A new game I'm working on debuted at BitSummit in Kyoto this month. It's called Undergrounded, from Game Studio Inc, also in Kyoto. It has a fantastic premise and art, and I'm writing pop and rock (among other things!) for it. It's been a blast so far.

It's about a guy who has had the worst day of his life after being turned down from a marriage proposal. This is how bad his day gets: after that his ring falls down into a street drain. But down there is underground labyrinth where lost things such as objects, feelings, and memories are uncovered.

I hope to have more news to share later but for now enjoy this amazing artwork from the game.

Dreamscaper is out NOW! Nintendo Switch and Steam

Finally! It’s like waking up from a dream. After three years (and about 55 pieces of music) Dreamscaper is truly complete and out now on Nintendo Switch and Steam. It’s a game where you work through your pain and struggles in your lucid dreams and your subconscious, with a unique rouge-lite type combat and relationship building gameplay blend. There’s really nothing like it and I’m so glad I got to set it to music.

The Nintendo Switch and Steam versions are out now. And on Steam you can get a nicely discounted bundle that includes my soundtrack — the biggest soundtrack I’ve ever done. Oh! And that soundtrack is available everywhere — and a super deluxe double vinyl is coming soon!

The reviews so far? Good. Very good. So good that I’ve been a constant state of shakiness and elation for the past day or so. Pins and needles. Really, like a dream.

Dreamscaper The Complete Soundtrack is out just ahead of the game's launch on Switch on August 5

If you’re wanting to hear what the last three years of work for me sounds like on Dreamscaper you can get that today as we’ve released the soundtrack just ahead of the game’s launch on Nintendo Switch and Steam next week. It’s huge at 53 tracks, and its emotions run the full range as you follow Cassidy’s journey into her own pain and memories through dreams.

It’s available now on Apple Music, Spotify, Bandcamp, and everywhere else! I hope you enjoy it!

And as for the game, you can wishlist it for Nintendo Switch or Steam right now!

RWBY: Arrowfell announced! I'm the composer!

I’m very pleased to finally announce that I’m the composer for RWBY: Arrowfell, announced just today at RTX 2021. Coming to you from WayForward, Arc System Works, and Rooster Teeth, I’ve been at work on this soundtrack for the better part of the year and it’s been an absolute blast as a fan of the show. A honor, really.

The game (a multiplayer co-op Metroidvania!) is fully cannon and picks up directly from the animated hit show and adds the energy that only WayForward can bring to it. I mean, if you played River City Girls you know how cool a collaboration between WayForward and Arc System Works can be. Rooster Teeth rounds out this triforce, with the staff and voice cast of RWBY providing the game’s cutscenes. So, for me, as you can imagine, this is a huge honor! I can’t say that enough.

What has brought this over the top for me is working with friends on the soundtrack. I’ve brought on Peter Jones (who actually composes for the show), Hunter Bridges, Jordan Chin, Caleb Hyles, and some others I’ll tell you about later onto the team. The result so far? Well, pure fun. And lots of jams. I can’t wait to share these.

Stay tuned for more on RWBY: Arrowfell. Out next year!

E3 2021 news: Dreamscaper releases on August 12 and more

Happy E3 2021! I have a few pieces of news though it was a relatively quiet one due to many of my current projects being announcements for later this year or next. But some great news came out of E3 this week!

First, Dreamscaper is done! I’m so excited. During the E3 showcase on Monday it was announced that Dreamscaper comes to Nintendo Switch, Steam, and Epic Games Store on August 12. You can wishlist it right now on the Nintendo eShop! And you can watch the brand new announce trailer above.

Next, Snacko, an adorable game about farming and cats and relaxing, was also announced for Nintendo Switch this week! It launches in 2022 and my work continues on it. if you’re still in a trailer watching mood here’s a new one for it as well.

Finally, River City Girls is getting a PS5 release very soon! YAY!

I have some more very cool news coming up but it’ll be late summer before I can say more. Thanks for reading!

Astral Ascent Kickstarter launched: New trailer, new music demos, physical release, soundtrack and more!

I’m very happy to share that the Kickstarter for Hibernian Workshop’s beautiful upcoming game Astral Ascent has just launched. This frame-by-frame, hand-animated, gorgeous title has been in development for the past year and the studio is seeking to launch it 100% fully self-funded. This campaign will help them reach that goal.

For this past year I’ve had the pleasure of writing music for this fantastic game. You can hear a lot of my work in the campaign, the new soundtrack preview playlist, the new trailer (shown above), and in the playable demo!

Among the exciting pledge rewards for the Kickstarter is physical copies of the game (PC and consoles) as well as my soundtrack!

If you’d like to wishlist this on Steam, here you go! It’s here that you’ll also find the free demo!

My soundtrack for Marble Knights is out now!

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!

You can get it the soundtrack on:
Bandcamp, Apple Music and others

And Stream it on
Spotify, Pandora, and more!

Please enjoy!

Astral Ascent is revealed!

I’m very pleased to share the reveal trailer for Astral Ascent, the latest game from Hibernian Workshop. We’ve been working on this gorgeous hand animated action game for a bit now and it’s nice to finally reveal a bit of what we’ve been up to!

In this trailer you’ll get just a peek at the incredible game play and just a touch of the beautiful cutscenes as well. And, of course, a small sample of my soundtrack. This one rides the line between pretty and action-packed as best as I could. The outcome has been pretty neat so far — I hope it resonates with those that play it.

Here’s a heads up: there will be a Kickstarter and with that a free demo! You can sign up here to be the first to hear about that when it all drops in a few days.

Stay tuned for more!

Here's a first look at Plague Huntress!

I’m pleased to share a first look at gameplay for upcoming pixelart metroidvania Plague Huntress! I’ve been working on this fantastic looking game for Bare Feet Games for a good while now but it’s just now making its gameplay debut.

In keeping with the early 90’s style of disc-based game consoles, I created a soundtrack that exclusively uses a single four megabyte ROM sound chip as the sound source. I hope you’ll agree that it sounds exactly like an early PlayStation game might have back then.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the debut trailer! Stay tuned for more on Plague Huntress.

Sword of the Necromancer is out now; here a sneak peek of my work in it

Sword of the Necromancer is out on all platforms as of now, including the new consoles. Here’s the PC version on Steam.

I’m grateful to have worked on this game! Inés Mirás headed up the score. My part comes in the theme, and for that I worked with Emi Evans, who supplied beautiful vocals to my writing. RPGFan says some nice things about my work in it, calling it haunting and beautiful. You can check out a preview there!
