FEZ is a lovely little game that’s long been in development by the incredibly talented Polytron team in Montreal. The game is slated for a 2011 release on Xbox Live Arcade. Check out the video for a sneak peak (music by yours truly).
Cat Astro Phi puts you in a spacesuit, recently asked by your friend Ripley to take Jonesy the Cat to the Vet. Aliens references aside, this cute little flash game is a tribute to the Game Boy aesthetic, and features awesome 4-color graphics by Ilija Melentijevic, and music by yours truly. It was developed by Richard Davey. You can play the game here. Grab the soundtrack here, listen below!
Back in 2007 I was hired by UIEvolution (they’ve been gracious enough to allow me to share this material) to write 16 one minute loops of general MIDI music for a puzzle game. Over a span of about three months I wrote these tracks, which generally speaking have very little specific direction, except a request to make them somewhat dancy.
This track I’m sharing is the eighth track, and probably one of the better ones of the bunch. Given the requirements I took the opportunity to use my favorite tool at the time Tabledit (MIDI Guitar Tablature Editor Software) to create all of the music. This was one of the first game-related projects I ever took on, and the experience helped at least somewhat in getting me interested in writing for games in general. Since then I haven’t really looked back. Check out my portfolio if you’re interested in what I do when I’m not writing for the sake of writing.

PASSCODE: The Curse of Ayosire
Toymakers Onell Design have put together a third interactive flash game entitled “The Curse of Ayosire” set in the wonderful world of their sci-fi action figures, featuring music I wrote for the 30 songs in 30 days challenge from last fall.
You can also check out the entire PASSCODE series here.
All of my music can be found on Bandcamp.
