Overworld Theme - The ARMARDISP
The ARMARDISP, physics-based puzzler, needed an overworld theme that communicated the style and feel of the game - light, fun, not too stressful - but one which could loop while the player trundled around the gameworld without getting old. A wandering theme on guitar, bass, drums and kazoo takes us through 3 solos, keeping the sound consistent but always fresh.
Zip, by Mike Scrase - Kickstarter Video Backing
The brief was to evoke the echoes of a superhero story, but with a grungy, dark aesthetic that takes you away from the clean, clear triumphalism of a classic Marvel or DC tale.
The synopsis required rapid shifts between moments of high energy, great pathos, and sinister mystery...

Boss Battle Babeeeee
Inspired by chiptune sounds, as well as 90s Saturday-morning cartoon themes, this is the final battle, the big showdown, time to down those potions and summon those summons. And if that doesn't work, stand in that one corner your friend's older brother told you they can't get you in and spam heavy attack.
At What Cost
A short piano and synth piece full of regret, contemplation, but perhaps acceptance. The synth sounds like it wants to scream, but the piano leads this dance, and it moves slowly, considered, mindful.
