pew pew pew! Bullets! Everywhere! Far too many bullets! It's like some sort of bullet hell in here or something!
This is my take on that particular style of Fast Rock plus Orchestral plus Electronic mixture so often used in anime and anime-themed video games. Blasting along at 180 BPM, this track features a set of 4 main guitars with even more secondary guitars on top. Lots of guitars. Yet, there's still room for drums, lead synthesizers and various types of string and brass instruments. Oh and some harpsichord, piano and epic choir as well. Gotta make use of all those silly sound libraries I have of people shouting. Lastly, there's also a bit of Super Meat Boy in there too. Anyway, best to let the music speak for itself...

I don't remix music very often, but I've done more remixes than usual in the last few years. Here's another one!
What has transpired here is that I've taken the vocal from the laid-back Ives track 8mm and set it to an energetic glitch hop inspired beat. Big booms, big basses, super saws, blips, bleeps, plucks, tiny vocal chops, snippets of slap bass, and other such bits of nonsense, all mashed together with Ivan Ives' rapping as the central component.
This track may appear on an Ives album release in the future, but you can listen to it right now via the Youtube video embedded below.

Flexing my indie rock muscles this time, with some bouncy guitars and toy instruments on top of a slammin' 4/4 drum beat. That happens later in the track though. Before that, we dive into a nice bed of ambient guitars, commodore 64 noises, and music box melodies in a 6/8 time signature.
There's a lot of stuff going on in this track, it goes places.

Barfquestion? Exactly. That's right, I've written the score for the animated series "Empire of Sock" by Dr.Barfquestion. He doesn't claim to be a doctor, I just like prefixing things with "Dr."
The first video in the series used two pieces I had already written titled "Everything Is Chill In Silent Hill" and "Rupture". The second installment in the series, which is embedded below, also makes use of "Rupture" as well as a new piece titled Exitium Aeternus.
I have it on good authority that the third installment in the series will make further use of Exitium Aeternus...and by good authority I mean intertwined weasels with bloodied mouths dripping through the cracks of my bedroom ceiling like ghastly vapors. I trust everything they say to me.
The new track can be downloaded here: THA-exitiumaeternus_eos.mp3
Enjoy!
Doing my pop music thing again with big vocals and catchy melodies. Also trying out a more breathy voice and some falsetto layers for the verses. All this poptasticness is on top of some harsh grinding synths and a thick 808 beat.
There There's also a bit of a sci-fi theme going on with the lyrics.
