Hello, I am a game designer for an indie studio in Atlanta, and a musician. We specialize in old school, 2d style games. Here are some tracks I made for various game projects. The quality varies, as some are from when I was 15 or 16 up until recent work. I am really more of an orchestral composer, but I like the good old days of game soundtracks. First time posting here, so please don't be too harsh :) www.gamesare.com is my site, btw Samples from a variety of genres: -INDUSTRIAL- http://www.gamesare.com/RuinedLab.mp3 http://www.gamesare.com/Industrial_Zone.mp3 http://www.gamesare.com/Endless_Factory.mp3 -Techno- http://www.gamesare.com/Reflections.mp3 http://www.gamesare.com/Rays_of_Hope.mp3 -Atmosphere- http://www.gamesare.com/Into_The_Stars.mp3 http://www.gamesare.com/Exploring_The_Depths.mp3 http://www.gamesare.com/Desolate_World.mp3 -Battle- http://www.gamesare.com/Machine_Battle.mp3 http://www.gamesare.com/Deadly_Skirmish.mp3 http://www.gamesare.com/Final_Showdown.mp3 [Edited by - Sam Dillard on September 4, 2006 6:46:38 PM]

Some excellent pieces of music. I must have listened to 'Desolate World' atleast 5 times. Also, your website is kickass.
Wow. I enjoyed listening to every one of your pieces.

Right on man.

Thanks everyone! Yeah some of the tracks are better than others though lol. I have some more orchestrated-style tracks which I could post if anyone is interested. That is more my preferred style, that of cinematic rpgs/epic fantasy.

The ones here are the more 'gamey' tracks I have done. Thanks again!
Post the other ones. People always love to hear new music. :) And welcome. A lot of your music reminds me of some of the good music from the 80's.

Here is a track from the opening sequence of an rpg project

Sam,

Thanks for your kind email and also sharing all of this music with us! You have a nice style and I like your choice in instruments. What samplers and programs do you use? I use mostly Sonar 4 and East West Symphonic Orchestra for my orchestral pieces. For other pieces I use East West Colossus, Reason 3 and Sonar 4 together.

I'd love to collab with you, as you mentioned.

Good work on "Legend of the Wilds". Everything has a nice flow and form to it. My favorite sections were around 2:45(nice use of texture) and the ending brought everything together nicely for that "big finish". You definitely have some composition chops! :)

I'll send you some more of my stuff.

Cheers,

I use cubase sx for all composition. Garritan Personal Orchestra, some VSL, and also some dan dean brass are my primary instruments. I would love to use more but that is all I can afford being poor lol, and has taken me a few years just to get these.

Here are some more orchestral style tracks, these are for a big space rpg/rts project:

A_New_Beginning.mp3
The_Void.mp3

Thanks for all the positive feedback!
