The Game Composer’s Blog

In the spirit of keeping myself sane, I’ve started a new project. With game music I’m always composing for someone or something else. With this new project, I’m writing exactly what I want to write (and hear) and I hope some of you may get a kick out of it as well.

The idea behind the new project is that the Extraterrestrial Contact Institute has been scanning the skies for alien communications for over 80 years. About 5 years ago, they finally picked up an honest to goodness alien signal. It has taken them 5 years to figure out what the signal is and translate it, but it turns out to be music… rock music, to be exact. And now they are able to decode one song a week and deliver the songs to the website of the ECI’s Alien Downlink project.

Of course, all this alien backstory is fake and there is no ECI, etc. It’s all just a fun way of getting my music out there and get me better at making music. I thought some of you who read this blog may be interested in the site and its music so here is the link:

I hope to see you on the blog and forums over there. The site’s just getting started and I look forward to seeing what you think. And now, back to game music topics…
