I was pleased to team up with fellow composer Kyle Johnson and create original music for the Syrinscape sound pack “In Hell’s Bright Shadow”. Syrinscape is the licensed provider of audio accompaniment for Paizo’s popular Pathfinder tabletop RPG. Fantasy scores are one of my favorite genres of music, and hence I had a lot of fun with this project.
I normally write a little introduction to each music selection I post here, but in this case the title pretty much says it all.

Zombie Attack | |
Written for a cemetery scene in the film The F-Zone, this cue is somber but has some lyrical qualities as well. In the middle section I harmonize a solo flute with four double basses, rather than the more conventional approach of throwing in every cello and bass available. It’s an interesting sound, almost a bit medieval, and distinctly funereal in mood.

A Lost Brother | |
How’s that for a grim cue name? Don’t worry, this week’s cue picks up in optimism after its melancholy bassoon-solo opening. Composed for a cut scene in Empire Earth 2, and performed by the Budapest Film Orchestra.

This week’s selection is some brooding orchestral dystopian-future music, courtesy of one of the cut scenes from Empire Earth 2. (No implication intended about anyone’s actual future.)
