This piano trio evokes the feeling of emptiness and lonliness. Although many of the themes are minor and depressing, there is a bittersweet quality to the music as if the time alone is introspective and relaxing.
Percussion, brass, WAR! This piece is designed to rev the player up for some truly epic battles. It’s tough to think of better music to listen to while charging into battle with a bunch of friends and allies.
Another adventure theme for the game, this one is darker in order to give a nocturnal feel. It should sound a bit creepy, but not quite graveyard at night creepy. Read the rest of this entry »
This is just one of many Project Wish pieces which are really just a rethinking of the main theme. I laced a chromatic wedge into the Project Wish Motive and changed the tempo, time signature, key signature, some harmonic progressions, and form to create an almost entirely new piece.

The themes in this piece all come directly for the initial background music I composed for the terrain video.

The melodic motive, A-C-E-A-F#-E, and its permutations appear in virtually every piece composed for Project Wish.
