Ever the rivals, the quicklings with their village in the shadow of the massive peaks where the yeti makes his home. With a roar, he makes his descent and the spritely figures mass together to protect their settlement.

A demo piece written for a project I ultimately wasn’t hired for, but I liked the music well enough to keep it around. Imagined as the transition from an industrial steampunk city into the wooded glory of the outside world at dawn.

A collaboration with fellow composer

The peoples that lived there were unlike any other: hard-working, honest. When an army appeared on the horizon one morning, it would transform the entire community.

A track written for the PC strategy game The Operational Art of War III, for battles taking place during World War I. I chose the battle of Argonne Forest as an inspiration for framing the music, writing two distinct sections and tying them together.
