GL039 I Guess What I'm Trying To Say

In my ongoing experiments with production techniques of various eras, I decided to try my hand at something Motown-ish. The greats were great for a reason. Man, is this stuff hard to accurately capture! I ended up using horns in lieu of real singers (someday, I'd love to flesh this out and hire some people to lay down vocals). The response line in the guitar during the chorus/bridge was also originally imagined as like 3 people singing "ooh ooh oooooh".

This track is available for scoring, and also acts as a demo of some of my stylistic capabilities. If you'd like to commission custom work, please get in touch. I'm always interested in new projects.

If you'd like to use this track, please message me for attribution requirements.

GL034 Busybody

Kitschy retro track for the hustle and bustle of transportation in a metropolitan setting. I imagine a scene from the first act of a comedic movie in the 50's/60's. There's a little bit of Gershwin influence in the orchestration (but not a lot).

GL010 A Hero Rises

Through the death and destruction, through the rubble and smoke, from the ashes of self doubt and fear, a hero rises.

I recently saw The Reward from Tales of Alethrion and was inspired to write some heroic music. I knew I wanted marching rhythms in a snare, a timpani line that would inspire a sense of reverence, and a brass choir that would climb melodically to mimic the idea of an individual “rising” to the challenge (ok ok, bad pun, but it’s actually a thing one thinks about compositionally). This piece could easily be a lot longer. The melodic and harmonic material lend themselves to endless development and variations, and I foam at the mouth thinking about adding 32nd note woodwind arpeggio rips during the return of the introductory melody. That said, I think it works nicely as a short loop as well. If you need to do something you’d really rather not (go to work, jog, etc), I’d recommend listening to heroic tracks such as this one. Whatever you do will make you feel like you’re saving your city.

As with all the things posted here, this is freely available for use in games and/or animation projects. It also works as a sort of demo of my style and abilities. I’m actively looking for new gigs, so if you like anything here please get in touch and we can discuss some custom work.

I’ve provided separate intro/loop files for ease of editing. If you would like to use this royalty free loop, please message me.
