During the most recent 48 Hour Film Festival, some of the music I composed didn’t get used, but I decided to post it here anyway. Some things to listen for: (1) At one point in the scene there is a reference to a mobile game that was very popular at the time. (2) Around the climax of the scene, a slow-motion “bullet-time” effect was used.

New Stuff!
A lot has happened since the last time I posted in November.
I uploaded some new music (look to the right) from the end of last year (Always Approaching, Never Reaching and A Winter Carol).
I set up links to new videos (look to the left) that I did music for (Spirit Animal, Date, and I Can Diglett).
I updated my bio.
Also, on Tuesday April 26th at 7:30, the Lamont Symphony Orchestra will be performing Astronauts vs. Aliens at their New Music Concert. I hope to see you there!
Jungle Jeep Chase
A while back, I joined a group on Facebook that does competitions for composers every few weeks. This was the description of the most recent challenge:
A Jeep chase through the jungle, enemies starting close behind you, then falling out of sight. Just when you think you are safe, the enemies approach you from a place you didn’t expect!
The ending should tell us the story of how the chase ends!
My submission, Jungle Jeep Chase, won!
Check out the write-up that Sam McLean did on his website. You should follow him and listen to his music, too. It’s great!
Rope Ninja Suite
A while back I mentioned that I wrote some music for the (soon to be released) game “Rope Ninja.” Not all of the music was used, so I decided to arrange all of the music I had written into a loose narrative of the game. A Rope Ninja Suite, if you will.
First there is the opening title, then music for Level 1 (flute melody), until the first boss approaches. On the first try, our hero is defeated, but immediately tries again, more experienced and confident, and this time is triumphant. The music continues in Level 2 (cello melody), but before long the final boss appears. After an intense battle, our hero is once again victorious. The piece closes with a combination of the music from Levels 1 and 2 (flute and cello melody).
Piano Music for a Sleepless Night
I just added a new recording of Piano Music for a Sleepless Night, a piano solo I composed while I was at URI. Enjoy!
