Greetings Patrons,
I sat down this week to write a piece in 5/4, mostly as a challenge. For non-musicians, that means there are 5 beats in a measure (quarter note getting 1 beat). It's not too far out, but considering that 90% of music is wr...

Steel Foundry is a large reverberant chamber where blast furnaces, chain hoists, and strong arms all work to create raw material.
It's vaguely dwarven, by which I mean there are certainly echoes of Moria, but there's...

This track started with a jaunty rhythmic melody shared between a mountain dulcimer and a harp. It was giving me tavern music vibes from the start. However, as I added various sections and instruments, it seemed...

Ever since I saw the 1959 classic, Journey to the Center of the Earth with James Mason, I've been a sucker for stories that take characters deep underground. It's as if the plot writes itself. It's dark, it's dangero...

TL;DR - I set up some extra speakers in a quad arrangement in the studio and mixed a test ambient-only track. If you have a surround setup like this in the place you game, please give this a test and let me...

Here's a track that is somehow dark, yet upbeat at the same time. The ambience came first for this one. It all started with the distant rhythmic shouts and foot stomps of thousands of soldiers. I thought it sounded like a ...

This week's track grew organically out of a few tracks of vocals. I was enjoying the way they bent in and out of tune, especially when I added a long, evolving drone beneath them. Eventually, I determined that this would b...
