Personal Albums

Album	Style	Listen
Universes Unlike Ours My 2016 debut! Very percussive, lots of lonely modular synth sounds.	Downtempo Relaxing, but cold-sounding electronic music with a backbeat.	Bandcamp
illegitimate 2015-2016 demos	Downtempo Relaxing, but cold-sounding electronic music with a backbeat.	Bandcamp
VAVAW A rythmically dense breakcore album. I used this album to play with slower tempos while keeping that rhymic intensity. 2016.	Breakcore High-energy songs with really fast, glitchy drum loops.	Bandcamp
minuit ep The rest of my 2016 songs since UUO.	Downtempo Relaxing, but cold-sounding electronic music with a backbeat.	Bandcamp
Complementary My 2017 concept album about vivid colours complementing eachother, as analogies for types of love.	Various Electronic A menagerie of ecclectic styles and approaches to sound design.	Bandcamp
unorthodox 2016-2017 demos	Downtempo Relaxing, but cold-sounding electronic music with a backbeat.	Bandcamp
Ordinary February Recorded and released in February of 2018. I tried writing more poetically from the heart, less about big ideas or fictional stories.	Folk Acoustic guitar and voice.	Bandcamp
Born in Captivity Socially-conscious songs about generational divides and capitalism. 2018.	Folktronica Acoustic guitar and voice, with electronic/dance accompaniment.	Bandcamp
14 days of noise Made in 2 weeks. I used Noise Maschine to make glitchy, weird, and satisfying drones. 2019.	Noise Could be anything really.	Bandcamp
hell if i care A weirder, emotionally distant album. I wanted to make an album embodying a type of nihilistic apathy present in the digital age. 2019.	Glitchy To be honest idk how to categorize this album. It's sometimes dance but sometimes breakcore and always glitchy.	Bandcamp
HSL By the end of 2019 I got deep into chiptune and amiga music, and wanted to make something much more electronically uplifting than my last album. This album also marks my letting go of perfectionism in my music.	Various Electronic A menagerie of ecclectic styles and approaches to sound design.	Bandcamp
inferred melody Live drummachine sets focused on improvised song structure. 2020.	Progressive Dance Electronic beats with minimal, morphing changes to the sound overtime.	Bandcamp
twigs n things My attempt to get back into breakcore and plunderphonics, but with an EDM "drop" structure and with pounding dnb drums. 2020.	Drum n Bass Fast-paced breakbeats with drums and grooves at the focus.	Bandcamp

Collaborative Projects

The Warp Coin Catastrophe

4 colourful chiptune covers back the silly suspense of The Warp Coin Catastrophe - An ace-attorney-like for the Nintendo Gameboy.

Goodnight Girl · Gameboy Pop Music Examples

I was hired to capture the electric energy of Brave Shores into the Gameboy's 4 channel audio limits.

Working with Emi Paternostro as a director was amazing, and this comedic Gameboy game remains one of my favourite collaborative projects to date.

Jaku smiles and points a finger upward. 'I Got One(tm), let's settle this in Warp Court!'
A wood-paneled room with a poster, a CRT, several books, and a SNES. 'The scene of the crime!'

Professor S. and the Mysterious Labyrinth

Professor S and his assistant Odessa have trekked across the world and ended up at the entrance to a mysterious labyrinth. Long ago, the professor was turned into a bird by an enigmatic curse, and the labyrinth may hold the key to reversing it.

I was hired to compose 6 original songs for this exploratory Gameboy puzzler, with tweaks and suggestions from the client.

A person and Professor S. wander a room covered in sand, with a broken tree stump in the center.
Four cacti stand around Professor S. with an axe: 'D: I gave the key to B. C is right, too.'

Gargoyle Party

If the Gargoyle isn't happy, the party stops. Collect enough gossip to keep you and the party alive!

Goodnight Girl · Bossa Bones

Made during Global Game Jam 2019 at Mount Royal University. Our 4-person team created a vivid prototype about picking up secrets at a party and depositing them to a gossip-hungry Gargoyle.

I produced the game's direction and helped coordinate where to move forward. I also composed a 5-minute bgm loop for our game.

The Mage player gives a wine glass to the Paladin, and they blush. Copious amounts of text are logged on the left.
The Mage player gives a padlock with the Rogue's face on it to the giant, gorgeous Gargoyle. Copious amounts of text are logged on the left, but most notably, 'the Gargoyle is pleased'.
