I uploaded all recent tracks to Moulinette, and I’m currently uploading the new 2.9 module (the exclusive version for Patreon for now). I’m planning on overhauling the way playlists are organized. There are so many tracks and playlists that it became hard to do these updates manually. I’m thinking of putting together some scripts to […]

The Cimmerian is nearing the 5 song mark, actually a bit past that with a bonus track I wrote. I’m still missing a combat song and one titled Dancers of Zamboula, which has an exotic flavor to it. So, it’s time to decide together what I’m writing next. Will it be more The Cimmerian songs […]

Hey patrons! Quick update on two things you’ve been curious about: 1. Sauria 2 movie: The film’s still in production, and that’s the reason the soundtrack hasn’t been released yet. 2.

A friend (Rob) gave me the idea of going back to my unfinished album Tribes, and actually making it about fantasy tribes. An album with a primal, natural sound and some grit to it. I thought the idea is great so I’ve been thinking of making that my upcoming project (which I expect to be […]

As you might know, I’m currently working on a Vampires Music Pack while also doing collabs on the side which often have many varied themes.

This is basically what I did: Migrated the library to Dropbox. Created an archive post from where you can access all the packs which include all my songs. Added […]
I recently had this idea of creating what I’d call “narrative music packs”. Always thinking about content creators and roleplaying. The concept is basically to create a narrative and cohesion within the music pack, with reiterative themes, like the heroic theme, starting humble and having a big climax by the end. Or the villain […]
Hi everyone, I release free fantasy music as a service to the community I love and in homage to the books, movies, and videos games I grew up loving. So far I released 70+ free songs under a Royalty-Free license in the past few months. And with more to come, I thought it would be a […]
