My style combines lo-fi video game sounds with dance, big sweeping orchestral lines, and piano performances.
I first started writing music electronically using a tracker — originally ModEdit, but I found my way to ModPlug Tracker (now OpenMPT). I’ve since moved onto Reaper, but many of my pieces retain elements of the demoscene and video game music sound. Combined with my classical music and jazz piano background, many of my tracks don’t fit neatly into any one genre.
I entered this track in a Native Instruments competition.
