This game was made as part of the GMTK Game Jam 2021. I worked with an amazing international team, and in one short weekend, we created a highly polished and fun game. The artwork is quite amazing, I think you'll agree! I wrote the music using a combination of synth sounds, real instruments and percussion, and as you can hear, it's quite contrapuntal in a few sections.

This game fuses a retro style with futuristic elements, so I wrote music using traditional jazz mixed with electronica. I also made all of the sound effects.

This game is still in development. The gameplay and visuals are simultaneously epic, scary and cute, and I tried to capture all three in my orchestral score.

I wrote an electro-swing inspired score for this game, and also made the sound effects.
A creepy background ambience complete with haunted house creaks and terrifying monster noises
A puzzle game with a chill kids-themed soundtrack. I wrote this music in only one hour!
Gentle synth-based background music to solve puzzles to.
I wrote some upbeat fighting music intentionally referencing music from the Rocky movies!
I created an eerie background ambience with electronic, synth and sound design elements
I wrote some sparse, ambient music for this game set in an underground cavern. I only had an hour or two to write the music but managed to come up with something quite atmospheric.
I wrote some fairly annoying and catchy music with influences from 8-bit music, traditional instruments and a Parisian accordion.
