Purged – the film

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

So today was day 5 of my epic headache. I took the day off work and went to the doctor – he’s prescribed 3 types of medication all to fight these awful pains in the brains! Heh.

While at home, I spent my time in a dark room (as light really hurts my eyes at the moment) on my computer making music. James released his film PURGED today – and I had to create music for his Menu as well as a very short piece of music for the Newgrounds Logo that shows up before the film loads.

The music I based the song on today was originally music I made a few years ago, however only a rough piano version has ever been recorded and uploaded to Newgrounds.

I decided to re-visit this piece as I think it sets the right mood for the experimental film. Adding vocals is very hard with a massive headache however what doesn’t kill you…

I’ll link you all to the song ‘Purged – Animal’s Piece‘ on Newgrounds – here you can download it for free. :)

Also, if you’re keen to watch the film, check it out below however you won’t see the menu or the NG logo – if you’re wanting to know how that turned out, as well as be able to access the Bonus Features such as extra music that wasn’t used in the film, concept art etc, click THIS LINK and it will take you to the Newgrounds version of the film.

Newgrounds Robot Day 2010

Friday, June 11th, 2010

Check it out – my musical submission for NG Robot Day 2010.

It’s called RD2010 Bicycle Robot

I have no expectations of it being involved in an animation as there is only 1 month to go till Robot Day and the song is 1:31 and chaotic as hell. But if someone takes it on, awesome! I’ll make sure to link you to anything that uses the song. :)

And now a robot pic that James drew – just to spice up this page!

The next album to come out will be more Soothing and Epic sounding – so if fun, stupid things aren’t your thing – wait for the next album to come out before buying my work. :)

Thanks again for following my blog, and waiting so patiently for all this to happen! Enjoy the music!

Tarboy II Update

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I think I should update everyone on the what’s-what with Tarboy II. If you haven’t seen the first one, take a scroll to the bottom of this post and check it out!

We’re introducing a new character – his name is Nash. (he’s so awesome)

We’ve already chosen our voice actor and he fits Nash to a Tee.

I’m linking you to a bit of music that I’ve composed for the start of the film; where we meet Nash and you learn of  his responsibilities as a soldier. This music is very minimalist due to a lot of dialog being placed on top of it – Just picture a military general on a propaganda / de-briefing video. That’s basically how it will sound.

Listen: Nash briefing

We’ve also got our villain Egz returning in Tarboy II. He’s just a bit more badass though.

And here’s some other concept art:

So I hope this has you a little more geared up to the release of Tarboy II. I know I’m getting more and more excited about the film as the days go by and as more work is done!

AK 47

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Part of my silly album – however, a very fun song to make and sing!

The song was created in an evening of hysterical laughter with James and myself as we drove to and from dinner. Some of the best things are made in the car…

Take a listen:  AK 47


… Like this photo… I know that the gun isn’t an AK 47, but I don’t own one – and this is the closest thing I have to a working gun. It sits in my car so if I feel the urge to squirt people with stale water, I can.
