Whenever I get confused and overwhelmed by ideas, I always revisit collages like this to find that inspirational direction.

There are so many things I need to work on, but sometimes the best thing to do is let the brain process everything by just resting in the accomplishment of what has already been achieved.

Inspiration and nostalgia are powerful things.

That spark can set a lot of intention in motion, and the music is the product of that.


Whenever I feel overwhelmed by this "work like crazy, need rest and get confused by that natural process type cycle," I always revisit my inspiration, allow myself to process mentally, and physically allow myself to just stop.


Hope this picture and post finds you well and inspires you or calms you ☺️

Just posted a NEW video called: Scoring Resident Evil Remake: Real-Time Survival Horror VGM Production & Creative Process


I've posted a long form video, as well as 3 smaller, more focused videos on highlights - also created shorts.


This shares me recording and producing a track while using the game Resident Evil to provide context.

Having inspiration with a plan can help create with intent in context to a project.

Using gameplay with FX helps us shape our skills so we can understand how to work on game music better!



Hope this inspires!

Working on Survival Horror AND jrpg video game music!

4 days ago | [YT] | 5

I've been taking some time to reflect on what I've done and learned. For my survival horror sound and development, I want to focus on certain things I've learned work, what people have been telling me about it, and what I feel I want and need to improve on.

I want to use the Korg Wavestate to understand how to compose and create music for a game like Resident Evil Remake.

That similar sound I used for Creatures of War.

Also, I want to revisit Creatures of War. It's been 1 year since I completed that game... I want to tell the stories of that development, break down each level, and show what I learned and created.

Also, I would like to complete the official OST.

More on this to come soon...

I also want to use the Korg Wavestation EX to create more authentic Playstation 1 type survival horror inspired by RE2, RE3, Parasite Eve, and Silent Hill.

I've experimented this month and learned some things about these areas of video game music. I want to double down on that and also refine how I share my skills, knowledge, and inspiration.

My overall sound as a composer has a light side and a dark side. I've been developing both through various means, including my second indie game, which is the light sound.

I teased a track the other day from that.

The developer and I will be sharing a lot more soon.

I'm going to really go for it with that music and game... it's pushed me in so many ways, I don't want to fear the music I made or live in anxiety if it's good enough. I put myself into it and it reflects that. I've found some peace in that. The music is me and the game is us. It's growing and changing too.

As I grow and find my thing that works, the music can evolve too. I want to strive to perform my music better and record it better. Write better music..play better...be a stronger composer and musician...

So much to come...

I won't give up!

Thanks for your support, everyone!

Some teaser images of some tracks I've been working on for my 2nd indie game. I have been working on this game all year and it's taught me so much. It's a Persona inspired indie JRPG and it's music development has challenged me in every way possible. It's made me a better musician, composer and person. Will be sharing a lot of this game and it's music alongside the developer very soon!

My sound as a composer has a light side and a dark side. The darker survival horror music comes easier and teaches me many things to apply to music that challenges me to play, create and produce. I want to share this here on YouTube and on my Instagram to inspire and help others grow, as well as understand myself more.


Also will be sharing a lot of lessons and insights learned this past year.

Stay tuned!

Just posted a full video on HOW I used the 90's synth the Korg Wavestation EX to compose and design a RE2 1998 inspired Boss Theme!

I've composed a custom Survival Horror Boss Theme to Resident Evil 2 (1998) using the Korg Wavestation EX!

Will be uploading to YouTube a full video of the music and gameplay with FX

The track is called "Malformation"

I'm also making a full video on HOW I created this by recording multiple patches and making a whole arrangement for this custom boss theme.


Stay tuned for more!

I've been exploring the Korg Wavestate survival horror inspired composing to Resident Evil Remake and getting my bearings in sharing my work and music.

I just uploaded a video of the whole theme and gameplay with FX

The theme is called: Mansion In Darkness


I'm going to make more videos and revisit this patch, sound, and composing to RE1 in the future.

I want to record separate tracks and even create more dynamic and harmonic ones, as well.

Mainly, I want to record and create specific tracks with that patch on the Korg Wavestate and put out a Free Music Pack!

More on this soon!

The Korg Wavestation EX + Resident Evil 2

I'm going to start sharing more of the music and sounds of this synthesizer.

I've been composing to RE2 original and working on that older 90's type sound inspired by Playstation pre-rendered backgrounds and graphics.

Also, I want to make better, smaller, and more focused videos showing HOW I use this synth and the music I make, along with composing knowledge sharing.

Will continue to develop and share!

I also want to make longer form videos on YouTube about HOW I do what I do and what I've learned. I know most people will not watch long videos, but I want to make the videos I NEEDED 2 years ago.

If I can make a video and share my process and experience and it helps one single person... then I've done something worth doing.

Thanks everyone for all the support, and also, thank you for not giving up on me when I disappeared 4 months ago. It's been a long and difficult process.

Never giving up
