Some time has passed since the release of the Monocle Man soundtrack, so I wanted to share some of the attention it has received since then.
Nitro Game Injection, the rockin’ video game music radio show hosted by KyleJCrb and Larry Oji, featured tracks from Monocle Man not just once, but twice. Listen to episodes 245 and 247 to hear cuts from the album, as well as many other good tunes!
Monocle Man Original + Arrange Soundtrack is a chiptune game OST and remix album in one, and it’s out now! I wrote ten tracks for the OUYA launch title, Monocle Man, and they are available here in a newly mastered Original Soundtrack. Next, I got eight talented musicians to remix these tracks for the all-new Arrange Soundtrack. Finally, I included six prototype/unused tracks from beta versions of the game, bringing the total to 24 tracks. Head over to Bandcamp to listen for free, and name your own price for a download!

Last semester I created original music and sound design for a Cogswell College branding animation, which was a special project coinciding with my Digital Sound Design class. This video recently premiered on YouTube for your viewing (and listening!) pleasure.
Hard trance track “Screaming“ is officially released. Created under the Tortoisone name in collaboration with electronic music producer adubthedrummer, this progressive EDM track has high energy, heavy beats, and screaming synths. “Screaming” is free to stream and download. Also check out the new progressively psychedelic & kaleidoscopic video!

This past month, on June 22nd, Cogswell College hosted the 2013 Fusion Awards, which gave me what is likely my greatest level of music recognition to date. I won TWO awards, and was nominated for an additional two categories!
My wins were Best Music Production for “Monochromatic“ [download], a track I composed and produced for a console game in development, and Best Game for Wizard Prison, a title I am currently working on in various capacities, including as the sole programmer. (The latter award was shared amongst the development team.)
Tinman Soundtrack is now available for free on Bandcamp (enter $0). [lossless mirror]
Also, “Monochromatic” is available for free on SoundCloud. This chiptune style track is a sneak preview of the soundtrack to Chroma, a 2D platforming game in development for the Ouya.
Navagraha by Speed of Sound is now available for free on Bandcamp (enter $0).
I helped with the creation of this album, and composed my own track, “Mars“, on which Subramanya Ananda and Cameron McLaughlin perform. [lossless mirror]
Navagraha is an album (nearly) completed over two days, with final mixing and mastering done not long afterwards. “Mars” is one of those tracks completed in its entirety over roughly a 24hr period.
I’ve been working on a good deal of original music this year, and there are several tracks I’ve created that are either complete or 99% there. Unfortunately, most of them are for albums that are not yet finished. I’m not going to give time estimates on any of these, since they are not solely under my control, and are always subject to change. However, I’d at least like to share the names of the albums and tracks to list the “coming attractions”.
