Here's something I made during the initial hype period for Sonic Superstars - someone posted a while ago some visuals from Speed Jungle and I wanted to create a piece of music that'd fit it - went for a Tee Lopes-style thing! I think I did well! What do you think?
I'm Leiss, and I make music for indie games. Chiptune, jazz and prog rock are some of my favorite inspirations, but I love the challenge and thrill of writing in every genre.
My hobbies include brewing light-roast coffee and writing fantasy fiction.
I embedded some highlights from my music portfolio, for anyone who wants to listen!
This is my first post here! Not quite sure how everything works, but am figuring it out.
Currently working on the score for a game called “The Ranch of Rivershine”. Also working on composing more elaborate and long loops for bigger sections of the game too.
One interesting thing with this piece is that it is through composed and about 3 minutes long. Due to the in-game time systems I think this will help it from getting stale or monotonous. There are still some mood shifts, but all within the same “emotion”.
Excited to announce my new music pack: Mind Games It will be a #chill, #groovy, #blues & #jazz styled collection of tracks for #puzzle games & #platformers. Special thanks to @aarcadee for the art! #ff -Releases- itch: Oct. 4th Bandcamp: Oct. 7th #gamedev #indiedev #gameaudio #musicpack https://www.instagram.com/p/CjI9T-rOizx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I wrote this piece for a mobile game late last year. With this track I focused a lot on using oboe, as well as marimba/kalimba to create these common "island" colors. I also made it a point to try and have the instruments "communicate" with each other more vs something with one main melody instrument. In the game, this track plays in the 4th overworld that transitions to being underwater, as well as in a small port city. I tried capturing both of those environments in 1 piece instead of using 2 separate themes. I also made a point not to overuse the steel drums lol, as I feel like that’s the easiest and most cliche way to make this vibe.
Also reallly love the cinematic studio oboe here, I feel like it carries so well on top of everything. Also I’m surprised I could fit that tin whistle in here too haha
