    In Real Time

    An extended version of the original intro/theme I wrote for 1up.com’s podcast Active Time Babble. The whole thing is an homage to classic Final Fantasy battle themes, including its own little victory theme. Spot the references!

    Iron Depths

    An older piece that I resurrected from obscurity with a new synth backing and rhythm tracks. Done in the style of a Sakuraba-esque dungeon theme. More details here.

    Into the Earth, Into the Sky

    A piece in multiple parts written to accompany a dance choreographed by Karen Brown with the same title. Using primarily guitars, rhodes piano and drums, the music provided a more modern counterpoint to a dance personifying trees of the varying seasons.

    Place Your Bets!

    Originally written as an introduction for a small indie fighting game, this piece took a shape all its own as a bit of a hybrid between a classic Mega Man style intro and an arcade fighting game attract mode.
