People seem to be enjoying me branching out from the classic JRPG sounds, so I was messing around with some sounds outside of my norm, and came up with this cool tense action tune.
I think it started off as a nod towards a track from Parasite Eve 2 (there's that game again, I reference ...

Today's tune continues my "melodic ambience" thing I've been unofficially rolling with.
If you've been around for a while, you know that I really like the music from Parasite Eve. The OSTs from both games (we still don't talk about the 3rd one...) have this kind of, effortless vibe. The...

Ok so, there was no escaping this one. I've been watching some Resident Evil content, recently discovered the Doom mod "My House.wsd," and watched the first two Aliens movies over the weekend (can't believe I never saw em before!)
It was bound to happen. I had to write some creep...

I received a request for some "Doomish Heavy Metal" music recently, and I was all about it. I used to write metal exclusively, but I don't do this style too often anymore so it was nice to try my hand at it again.
I really love the opening groove, with the bells/gongs in the background...

This is one of those songs that just has a really cool vibe to it. I just started playing the piano bit the other day and it just immediately captured me. The song writing process didn't fight me at all on this one (though my DAW did by constantly changing my instrument patches for some reaso...

Hey Party Members!
Last week, while dog sitting, I got the opportunity to play Hollow Knight for the first time. My niece is really into that game and has been recommending it for a while. The game was really fun! I've got a long way to go to beat it, but I what I played so far, I really enjoyed!
Of course, one of...

Hey Party Members, happy Friday!
Can't go wrong with DKC style music, amirite?
Not a ton of moving parts in this one, just some of that classic DKC style ambience with simple melodies working over top of it. You guys have probably heard me say I have a tendency to overwrite, (I do in my mind at least), so it's alw...

Today's tune utilizes the Phrygian Dominant scale.
"Bert, what the heck does that even mean?" I hear you say.
It means it sounds like a desert tune!
Some musical scales have so much character to them, that even playing them from start to finish (aka boringly) will inv...

I double labeled today's post because I couldn't decide which one described the tune better. I think the best application is a sad cutscene in a sad village. Yup, that should work.
This one made for an easy writing session for me. This is great because I'm going to be AFS (Away From Stu...

It's been a while since I've done a 16-Bit styled tune for a Tuesday release. (Can't remember the last one tbh). Thought doing a new World Map tune would be fun, and sure enough, it was!
I feel like this one may be more suited for a vehicle tune, like flying in an airship or riding on ...

Another week down...this calls for a celebration!

You know when you see a writer constantly crumbling up pages and tossing them into the ever growing pile of rejected ideas? That was yesterday for me. I think I went through about 4 or 5 different ideas before I really locked in to something.
On the bright side, that's 4 or 5 ideas tha...

I know I've put out a ton of songs at this point, but sometimes I realize I'm still lacking coverage for certain areas. For instance, Title Screen music!
Sure, there are plenty of songs I've released that could work as title screen music (as I always say, use it how you see fit...

I had to take a break from the Octopath style stuff. Needed to shake things up for my own sanity lol. But I think you are going to like today's release.
This may be the longest tune I've released on Patreon. (Actually not really sure on that but if it's not #1 it's definitely #2!) 2023-05-12 13:57:42 +0000 UTC View Post

Does the title confuse you? Are you feeling deja-vu?
Well after much debate and consideration, I decided that this theme fits the Scholar class much closer than what I wrote last week. And last weeks theme felt more Thief-ish the more I listened to it.
You know what else is...

Ok I'm really leaning in to it now. As you know, for my Tuesday posts, I've been doing themes based on the character classes from Octopath Traveler. Now, this is the 2nd Friday in a row that you get Octopath style dungeon music. I may not do a full 8 weeks of this for Friday's releases, but i...

I'm bringing the pace down a bit in comparison to last weeks tune. Today we got a harp driven temple sounding tune. I feel like I say this every week but...it's been a while since I've done a track like this! :D

So I think I'm continuing the theme from last week. That being Octopath inspired music. Hope you guys don't mind, that's just where I'm at right now in my creative journey. :D

When I sat down to write yesterday, I initially thought "It's been a while since I've done a 16-Bit sci-fi tune, why don't I try that?" You'll hear the elements of that direction in the opening bass line.
What actually ended up happening (as the title gives away) is a boss fight t...

I don't gotta tell you guys, the music in both of those games is phenomenal. So I wanted to do something in that style, to a degree. And when I say to a...
