    paper My Battery is Low and It's Getting Dark OST

    During another video game project with the University of Michigan’s video game studio Wolverinesoft, I was tasked with composing an adaptive soundtrack for a horror video game “My Battery is Low and It’s Getting Dark.”

    The genre of the game was a sci-fi horror game and it was important to plan out the mix of organic and synthetic sounds to meet the requirements of the genre.

    paper *10th place out of 65* Indie Video Game Music Contest "Cat Survivors"

    This is an example of my work from the Indie Video Game Music Contest. The game represented is “Cat Survivors” by Nieve Studios. The demo is available now on Steam!

    The studios pitched the music for this game to be intense, so I took the angle of darker action music as the cat is fighting against a horde of demons.

    paper Defenders of the Dune OST

    During my time with the University of Michigan video game studio, Wolverinesoft, we developed a brand new RTS that puts players in the role of commanding an army of Sand People fighting against hordes of ants.

    I was tasked to create an original video game sound track to compliment the building and battle phases of the gameplay.
