Spike (Remix)

“Spike (Remix)” is a hyped-up remix of my original, Spike, which was composed for Dan Counsel’s iOS hit Almost Impossible! The remix features the same melodies but alters the timbre of the lead instrument. It features new harmonies, a hip-hop style opening, a jazzy house section, and more.

The song is available for commercial licensing and would suit video games, podcasts, films, advertisements, and other multimedia that could use a techy, modern sound.

Atma

“Atma” is a soft, retro-inspired 8-bit soundtrack with a modern, dubstep-inspired twist. Seamlessly loopable, it consists of magical 8-bit paired with a pulsing synth beat.

Similar music can be found in the works of many modern chiptune composers, as the piece has a uniquely Game Boy feel to it. The added beats make it ideal for any number of uses, especially as an underscore for a game or movie in any bright, cheerful moments.

“The Golden Nugget” is a luxurious feeling underscore, inspired by the golden lights of Las Vegas, especially those from the Golden Nugget resort. The track features Latin and orchestral instruments which carry a standard Latin groove. The lush strings and pleasing harmonies provide the listener with a feeling relation and elegance.

This soundtrack would accompany any production that orients itself on those with expensive tastes – advertisement, video game, film, and so on…

The initial track was composed for a racing-style video game, and was inspired by games such as Wipeout and F-Zero. This soundtrack would also work well as a contemplative bed for films and scenes similar to “The Fast And The Furious.”
