From nostalgic melodica motifs to foreboding synth punctuations, from shimmery guitar ornamentation to visceral throat singing, I used a huge variety of arranging and recording techniques for the 48-track soundtrack of Dark Deity 2.

"The one area that’s not in question is the music; it’s absolutely fantastic. Every track flows seamlessly between player and enemy phases, as well as into combat, and it’s all top-notch."
— Ian McBride (Noisy Pixel)

To forge a distinctive and immersive sonic identity for the world of Dark Deity, I blended visual elements from the character art and map design with the story's thematic beats. Through this, I composed memorable anchor compositions including the main theme and final boss music.

The resulting score drove a compelling experience: Dark Deity now has hundreds of thousands of fans across PC and Nintendo Switch.

In composing for the high seas, I've had to integrate unique, specialized instrumentation such as the Hurdy-Gurdy and melodeon (accordion). I also developed proficiency in adaptive compositional styles such as state-based stingers.

To learn more about game development, I created a side-scrolling platformer from concept to completion, handling the design, code, and soundtrack, of course. I learned how to design a cohesive aesthetic (both sonic and visual) and gained firsthand experience in mastering/implementing audio for games.

The game itself is pretty bad. But the music is cool!
