Well it's finally happening. The next major story arc in these vids is about to start. I had the idea for this over 4 months ago, before we finished the "first season." Truth be told, I don't even know all that is going to happen, I just have a basic idea, so I'm just as excited as anyone els...

Hey Party Members!
This weekend was no fun. I had a nasty cold and didn't feel like doing much of anything. So I rested up the best I could and just binged a lot of Youtube vids and pro wrestling content...yes, you read that correctly and yes, I know. :D
I started to come out of it yesterday morning fortunately. S...

So our storyline continues to build up to this "Tournament of Champions," but first the party must pass through the legendary "Merchant's Alley" to get there! I tried some new things with today's video that I think will keep things mo...

Yesterday I started off the writing session with some funky basslines and drums, but quickly realized that wasn't the direction I wanted to go in for todays post. After some experimenting, I lai...

This is another one of those tunes that had me scratching my head and asking, "Why did it take me so long to write something like this??" The song has a very Celtic or Irish vibe (not sure which one is more accurate to say, but you'll know what I mean when you hear it). I know I've done a bar...

Hey Party Members!
Yesterday's writing session got off to a slow start (I'm starting to see a pattern on Monday's). I tried a few ideas and nothing stuck, so I decided I needed to try something different.
I started messing around with "non-16-bit" sounds, and funnily enough came across something that sounded like ...

I thought I would lighten things up a notch with todays video by writing a fun and quirky tune. For those of you who have been around for a while, you may remember the first fun/quirky cutscene theme I did aaaaall the way back in October of 2020 (holy crap I can't believe it's been that long!...

This was a happy little accident song that popped out mostly finished for me over the weekend. I was just mindlessly playing around with some sounds and the main riff presented itself to me, followed by the bassline.
Not sure if you've ever heard of the 80/20 rule, but it essentially ...

I've mentioned this before, but occasionally I realize that my archives are totally lacking in songs that apply to "X" situation, or "Y" environment. I knew that I was going to be writing a castle like theme here soon, but as I finished I realized there are really only like 2 in the archives!...

Hey Party Members!
So I gotta be real with you. Yesterday's writing session was a total bust. It happens occasionally, where I just don't have it in me that day. It's a big reason why I'd like to get ahead of my content, but uhhh still working on that. :P
Luckily though, I found this little gem hiding away...

The streets are bustling in today's video! Our heroes have finally made it back to the castle after their long journey. I've got some fun ideas for what is coming, so I kind of sped up the process of them making it back here. :D
Today's tune is an energetic theme that works great for bi...

Hey Party Members!
So during yesterday's writing session, I felt like I was due for a sad cutscene theme. Don't know why, that's just what my gut was telling me. Initially I approached it like a "tensions rising" kind of idea, but once it was finished, it felt more like an "uncertain times" kind of vibe, which I suppose...

I don't know about you guys, but I miss the old world maps from classic JRPGs. That was one of my favorite parts of the games. When you first make it out of the village or city or school and you are greeted with a preview of just how big this world is, alongside a killer track to guide you th...

Yesterday I was trying to figure out what kind of song to write for you guys, when it started raining out. "Ah that's perfect!" I thought but definitely didn't say in real life. "I'll make a rainy village theme!"

Ok, so I don't say this lightly, but today's tune sounds like it could be in an old Final Fantasy to me. The opening chord progression is one that I accidentally stumbled upon, and it has Uematsu written all over it. I put my own twist on things of course, but as a big fan of his it was kind ...

Today's tune has some serious VIBE happening in it. Initially, I really wasn't sure where I wanted the story to go, which made things a bit tougher. It's hard to write music for a scenario when you don't know what that scenario is!
Ultimately, I decided since we just ha...

Today's tune was inspired by a song from the game Trauma Team, as requested by ReProjectSD.
I went through a couple of iterations of the tune, trying to capture the feeling of the original without straight up copying it. To achieve this, I had to dig into some of my own inspirati...

Ok, I know I'm a broken record at this point (even saying that has become repetitive haha!) but I really like how this one turned out! I was messing around on the keys one night and hit the opening chord for this track and I just loved the way it sounded.

Hey Party Members!
It dawned on me the other day that I had only really done one track for travelling by boat in this past year. And since that is often such a big part of JRPGs, I wanted to make another track just for that!
It's a nice and peaceful tune for the most part, with a little bit of buildup towards the ...

Alrighty, our first video of the year is coming in with a (somewhat) fresh start. I thought it would be fun to pay homage to one of the greatest RPGs of all time with this one. Bonus points if you can guess which one it is! (It's pretty blatant, so I'm sure most of you will get it haha)

Alright, first post of the new year! As per usual, I really didn't know what kind of tune I was going to write going into this. As the song developed, it began to have some very "Holy" characteristics that I couldn't ignore.
Melody and structure wise, it's a bit more static than ...
