Random acts of Music

So I found a recently developed, free Futuristic Racer , made by these chaps at Big Robot.
(the guy's who did "Sir, You Are Being Hunted")

It seemed like the perfect excuse to test myself.
I decided I would write a suitable 1 minute or so demo, of a track for the game.

And I did this;



BTW, play the game, It's good.

...and Happy New Year.

The Game Audio Network Guild held a grand Student/Apprentice contest.

Compose an original 1 minute (60 second) loopable (i.e. seamless loop) musical piece for a new game. The game is called 'Hillbilly Robot Mafia" where hillbillies have converted their farms to robot factories!! It's a player versus player RTS, and as players overtake other hillbilly robot factories across the countryside, they wield greater influence over the local authorities on their way to COUNTY DOMINATION!This music will be used for the Player vs Player battle! The artwork is cartoony, and similar to art styles found on Cartoon Network (Regular Show, Adventure Time etc). That is your spec...GO!

this was my entry

It did not win, but the winning one is the one I would've chosen too. 

Onward and upwards. 

Compose a background score for the following intro. 

Okie dokie.
I went for a slightly industrial "how it's made" sound for the constructing at the start and swept myself along from there.
The 'voice acting' is me too (oscars to P.O. box Soundmod). It was included more as a place holder for whomever gets the job, also, how weird would it be not having the character say something during such strong visual cues?

(very, that's how!)

Hello inter-world

This is the blog which for some reason I only now thought to launch. (meaning there may be a reason, but I just refuse to tell you)
It will features various ditties and projects I'll be undertaking as I tackle the world of music technology, games and all sorts of future audio things.

I hope to unleash my love of computer game soundtrack, retro dance noises and 90's-ey things with all the pluck, zeal and independence of Jenny McNeal, Single Female Lawyer.



I wrote these for a particular project just a week or two ago. The guy wanted "a short intro and maybe a 6-8 second outro with a catchy bass" for an animation series yoke'm-ee-bob.
