Description: The designers were aiming for an East Asian ocean theme,
and I sought to give the viewer an underwater experience to match the
stunning aquatic-themed outfits. I used a combination of orchestral instrumentation and synths to set the scene.
A fun percussive desert theme when the player explores the desert areas.
Ambient and eerie track to give the desolate village a sense of mystery. I used ethnic instrumentation to highlight the desert themes.
A calming track to let the player rest in the oasis. I was going for a spiritual feel.
An energetic menu theme for a cartoony racing game.
A hype UK grime-inspired loading screen theme for a fast paced shooter game.
An unused calm theme I originally made for a contemplative cutscene.
Left: I am creating a Frutiger Aero inspired preset pack for Omnisphere VST. This Instagram reel is a cool demo I made showcasing some of the presets.
Right: I wanted to capture the beauty of the aurora borealis and the wintry feeling of Northern Sweden. I introduce a "snow motif" in the beginning, showing the settling night, and then the rapid arpeggios come in, depicting the Northern lights that illuminate the sky.
A synthwave pop beat that I plan to add some lyrics over.
A complex track with a "ping pong" percussive motif that takes you on an adventure.
An energetic trap beat with bells and synth leads.
A trap electronic fusion beat inspired by Sam Gellaitry.
Sampled the chants of the San bushmen who live in the Kalahari desert to make this beat.
