Many hours went into composing, playing, mixing and mastering this project. It is a concept album and a tribute to the work of Jack Vance, a science fiction novelist I admire deeply; I started it soon after his death. The album is a trilogy based on three planets of his universe, and each song is written to match the atmosphere and storylines of its planet.
The style is progressive, with metal, jazz, electronic and symphonic influences. The three tracks, Ellent, Tsambara and Deulle, are below.
On my YouTube channel I cover video game music, among other things. The style has strong metal and rock influences, with some symphonic, classical and electronic borrowings. A selection is below; the channel has more.
A punchier version of a traditional Irish dance, filmed in a single shot.
A cover of the score of the PS1 game MediEvil, my entry for the FamilyJules7x contest, where I was a finalist.
An electric guitar and bass version of Bach's Jesu, meine Freude. No offense intended to him or his legacy.
The main theme of Metroid Prime 2, a very catchy tune, with a guest solo by ArtificialFear.
