I wrote this piece for a mobile game late last year. With this track I focused a lot on using oboe, as well as marimba/kalimba to create these common "island" colors. I also made it a point to try and have the instruments "communicate" with each other more vs something with one main melody instrument. In the game, this track plays in the 4th overworld that transitions to being underwater, as well as in a small port city. I tried capturing both of those environments in 1 piece instead of using 2 separate themes. I also made a point not to overuse the steel drums lol, as I feel like that’s the easiest and most cliche way to make this vibe. 

Also reallly love the cinematic studio oboe here, I feel like it carries so well on top of everything. Also I’m surprised I could fit that tin whistle in here too haha

I’ve been making these pixel animations lately where I compose music and animate to the song. They all kicked off with this one back in May. 

It was starting to get really warm out, but I needed something calm in my life at the time. I saw someone ask how to make snow on a forum and made this in response. I hope it brings you some peace.

Great New Synth Plugin Coming Nov 24th, VITAL Spectral warping wavetable synth

Great New Synth Plugin Coming Nov 24th, VITAL Spectral warping wavetable synth

Vital is a spectral warping wavetable synthesizer.

Discover how warping the harmonic makeup of a wavetable can completely create a new set of sounds. Stretch, shift, smear and skew harmonics up, down and around the spectrum to explore new timbres and create sounds you didn't think possible with wavetables.

See how everything works while you play in this visual synth. Vital has animated graphical displays when you need them. Everything moves in real-time so you can see what’s going on behind the scenes.

Quickly design sounds with an optimized drag-and-drop modulation workflow. The modulation preview gives you an idea of what things will sound like before you drop the connection. With this, you can try modulating different destinations by dragging around the screen.

Discover new design techniques using Vital’s unique features like stereo-modulation. Stereo split an LFO to have the left channel’s modulation delayed from the right or give slight stereo time differences to an envelope to create wider stereo effects.

Feature List

High quality wavetable oscillators with frequency warping and wave warping

Efficient unison

Two routable voice filters with several analog and digital models, each with multiple continuous blending modes

Audio-rate modulation so you can create clean drum transients and frequency modulate filter cutoff

Stereo-splitable LFOs with custom and editable shapes

Keytracked LFO settings

Modulatable envelopes with custom curves

Modulation remapping so you can customize the shape of every modulation

Custom sample source

Random modulation sources like Perlin, Lorenz Attractor, S&H and Sine Interplation, each with stereo options

Eight routable effects including a multiband compressor, multi-mode phaser and 16 voice chorus

MPE support

Microtonal file support

Oscilloscope and spectrum viewer

Preset browser with sort, search, tag and folder organization

Warp waves in new ways Give new life to wavetables by using Vital's spectral oscillator warping. Spectral warping acts on a waveform's harmonics and can create drastically different shapes and timbres from a simple source.Customize your sound

Turn your own samples into wavetables by using Vital's pitch-splice or vocode wavetable converter. Create wavetables from scratch using the built-in wavetable editor and even generate wavetables from text!See everythingVital is a visual synthesizer. See what's happening behind the scenes with animated controls, filter responses, waveforms, smooth LFOs, oscilloscopes, spectrograms and more. All animations run at 60 frames per second and are GPU optimized which leaves your CPU to do its real job: the audio processing.Connect anythingModulate Vital's controls with a fast, drag and drop workflow. Vital gives you a preview of the modulation before committing so you can quickly experiment without ruining your sound.Design sounds with powerful toolsModulate your sound with custom LFO shapes, snappy envelopes and randomized sources like perlin noise.

2nd post here, so lets go for it! 

This the Autumn Day theme for a game called Mangato: Life In Taiyokawa that I’m writing the music for. 

There are a few things I really tried to hit with this track. The main emotion to me is “nostalgia” which is why I chose acoustic guitar as the main melody instrument. You’ll also notice quite a lot modal mixture here, but I think its handled smoothly for the most part. Something about mid-range trumpet also just fit that emotion in a way I can’t quite describe. 

There are strings here also, but they’re really subdued and even mixed a bit oddly (really old sounding). If you listen closely you can also hear me playing what are called “harp harmonics” on guitar near the end, a technique where you finger the harmonic with your right hand AND pick it with the same hand. I think it added some sort of nostalgic quality too. One other thing I did with guitar was use a slide to sort of “emulate” birds flying overhead in the intro (sort of like birds flying South for Winter). I’m not sure if that intention is heard, but its there (listen on the left side). 

Lastly one of my favorite things is the 1 bar of 5/4 around 1:20 in the drums. I heard that in a Masayoshi Takanaka track once and just loved it. I think it works so well to telegraph the change at 1:23. 

Anyways I hope you like this track! Listening back now, I kind of want to mix the strings in a more natural way haha. 

SO to Tyler Mire for playing trumpet on this one too!

This piece is part of a series I’ve been doing lately of pixel art animations combined with music I’ve written. Typically I start with the music first and then animate based on the song. This was a strange case where I had actually written the song a while ago and made the animation on its own.

I went through my old tracks and found this little beat and the vibe of it worked so well with the animation that I just made some minor tweaks to each and wrapped it all up.

Thanks for taking a look/listen.

I haven’t used Tumblr in ages, so I hope I remember how this works! It’s been quite a while, but I finally put together a new demo reel!

I have been working very hard on a youtube video essay series on video game music! Here's my first video on Animal Crossing! https://youtu.be/ddjg21tlaoM It would mean a ton to me if you checked it out, gave a like or even subscribed to help me cut through the YouTube algorithms! I'm approaching the series from a musicology perspective rather than a technical side, as many other people already do that. And I'm trying to make the series accessible to people who don't know anything about music as well. There's definitely issues as it's my first video I've EVER done, but it's only up from here! #animalcrossing #animalcrossingnewhorizons #acnh #gamemusic #nintendoswitch #nintendo #vgm #videogamemusic #videogames #music #musicology #gamecomposer #composer #youtube #videoessay #kkslider #indiemusic #indiedev #indiedeveloper #animalcrossingnewleaf #gameaudio #kylydian https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AOW5mJZtD/?igshid=i9iw8j7szcg
