Out of the Nest

This song is packing some action, I imagined a druid apprentice giving its first steps into an unknown world. Not without its perils and challenges.

I wrote this song for the upcoming Dream Realm Storytellers project: Bloodpunk.  The song is very peaceful since it’s going to be the underscore to the trailer for the whole project. 

Basilisk’s Lair

A fathomable beast lives down here, hiding in the dark, waiting for his next prey… Look away, because few survived the deadly gaze of the basilisk. I wrote an ambiance for the Basilisk Lair and became once again part of The Goblin Explorer‘s Endless (and Amazing) Dungeon.

Revolutionary Love

This song was written for an animation done by Pilgrim Pass we did, depicting a tragic romance between a French Police officer and a Neo-Jacobin Revolutionary girl from an Alternative 1920s France. This Project was Inspired by Kaiserreich, specifically the idea of France undergoing a second revolution. But it doesn’t take place in that world, […]

The Red Opera

Enter a place of macabre display, where performances are made with living actors until they aren’t anymore… Join the first row as a spectator, or the stage as part of the show… I wrote this song for the Red Opera and became once again part of The Goblin Explorer’s Endless (and Amazing) Dungeon. Check him […]

Maantje’s Mystical Emporium

It is difficult to say whether it is the shopkeep, inventory, or the building itself for which the emporium has developed its reputation, but the combined effect is certainly not one onlookers forget easily. Maantje’s Mystical Emporium is a large stone building shaped in the form of a hand. When unmoving, its fingers extend skyward. […]

Dwarven Ruins

Somewhere deep in the mountains of your world lies the forgotten grove, once populated with hard-working dwarves. Hugged by mountain chains, the entrance to the legendary city is sealed to this day. What lies beneath? What awaits the brave adventurers who will (surely) stumble upon the ancient settlement? For this, I collaborated with Mikwewa, an […]

The Embrace

For this one I imagined a vampire transforming a mortal into a night creature like himself. The heartbeat accelerates until death, and then, eternal life.

Cursed Island

This one is about a cursed island in the middle of nowhere where you can notice at first glance things are not right.

Wasted Blood

This a synth-based rendition of my previous song: Wasted Blood. Meant for vampire combat in modern nights.

Good & Evil

I wrote this song while thinking on the internal confrontation between good and evil. Very common in vampire literature.

Fangs

Yet another song for my Vampires Music Pack. This particular song is a dark combat one.

Mystery Aboard the MNO

Today’s song is product of a collab with Venatus Maps and inspired by another addition to Venatus Maps’s Great Expanse setting and a direct accompaniment to last month’s Pugolite Crossing map, which had in turn been built specifically with the MNO Train Cars in mind. Unfortunately, those same Train Cars have taken a bit of […]

Masquerade

For this song I imagined vampires hiding in plain sight, in a ballet of disguises, lies and shadows.

For this song I imagined vampires lurking in the shadows, waiting, hunting. Yet another song for my Vampires Pack. And this one is a premium one. Only available to my patrons and those who purchase the full pack.

Penumbral Curse

This patron-exclusive song was written as part of an upcoming collab with Kelfecil’s Tales. A very interesting adventure module involving a green dragon and a curse. Hence the mix between a natural sound and dark vibes.

Wasted Blood

Yet another song for my Vampires Music Pack. This particular song is a dark combat one. Relies a lot on strings and a church organ, two type of instruments I relate a lot to gothic horror and vampires. I hope you enjoy and find many uses for it.

The Toy Maker

A toy shop? In the middle of The Endless Dungeon? Who can be so insane? Little trains, a doll, stuffed dragons, wooden swords… how nice. Wait, this doll again? I’ve seen this doll before… I have the weird feeling I’m being watched. This week I wrote an ambience for a Mad Toy Maker and became […]

Link Street

Check out their library of work over at https://ChibbinGrove.com! Link Street resides in a city infested with rats, horses-and-carts, and shady merchants. Some say crossing the street is like rolling a loaded dice for your life, with the odds stacked against you. Locals avoid these busy roads and instead venture in the dark alleyways and […]

Staring Abyss

Their names have been forgotten for so long… they are the Forgotten Ones. And as a machine without purpose as a traveler without destination they are sleeping and waiting. But don’t get confused by their inaction, their power has not fizzled out and the whole world shall see their might when they awaken once again… […]
