Back in 2007 I was hired by UIEvolution (they’ve been gracious enough to allow me to share this material) to write 16 one minute loops of general MIDI music for a puzzle game. Over a span of about three months I wrote these tracks, which generally speaking have very little specific direction, except a request to make them somewhat dancy.
This track I’m sharing is the eighth track, and probably one of the better ones of the bunch. Given the requirements I took the opportunity to use my favorite tool at the time Tabledit (MIDI Guitar Tablature Editor Software) to create all of the music. This was one of the first game-related projects I ever took on, and the experience helped at least somewhat in getting me interested in writing for games in general. Since then I haven’t really looked back. Check out my portfolio if you’re interested in what I do when I’m not writing for the sake of writing.
Toymakers Onell Design have put together a third interactive flash game entitled “The Curse of Ayosire” set in the wonderful world of their sci-fi action figures, featuring music I wrote for the 30 songs in 30 days challenge from last fall.

Some good news! The pledge period for High Strangeness has ended and we reached our $1,500 goal! We couldn’t be happier and more motivated to keep the wheels churning.
In the meantime, we’ve put out a teaser featuring three tracks from the game, two of which are previously unreleased.

For the last year and a half I’ve had the pleasure of working on music and sound for “High Strangeness”, a sci-fi, retro-styled RPG concocted by my friend Steve Jenkins. The process has been deliberate but thoroughly enjoyable, and we’re finally starting to make some real progress. By the time the game is done I should have somewhere around 30 minutes worth of music written which is exciting in and of itself.
Not too long ago we decided to make the game a Kickstarter project so that we could truly do what we wanted to do: release the game on XNA (XBox Live Community Games) and give away some totally awesome stuff, including a short run of CDs featuring the game’s soundtrack!
