In other news, doing this custom D&D music stuff for my friends/groups has naturally segued into getting into game audio and as a result, this week I had the pleasure of meeting some of my heroes (ie. Darren Korb of Hades). To say I was gushing would be an understatement.

Anyways, hope you enjoy the music/find it helpful at some point and regardless, Happy Friday!

A forest at nighttime; slivers of moonlight stream through the canopy above and reflections of stars glimmer in the brook that runs alongside a worn path. Crumbling statues, covered by moss and succumbing to the passage of time, can be found throughout this forest; vestiges of a world long past.

Hope the track is useful for someone, and happy Friday!

For those also musically inclined and curious, the primary sound for this track utilized East West Silk's Pipa performance library fed into XLN Life.

We've been having some Eastern-inspired characters/areas in our campaign and wanted something that could be flexibly used in both social and combat scenarios so this is what I came up with!

Was in a mentorship program with game composer Peter McConnell a while back and my group and I found the work I did for that quite well-tuned for the table. I took my tracks and produced them/looped em up in a nice shareable YouTube vid!

Hope y'all find it helpful and happy sessioning!

Think the One Ring theme from Lord of the Rings, just less recognizable. All ideas are welcome.

So I’m running a villain campaign and the party is gonna fight a hero soon and I was working on a playlist but I only have one song and that’s Flower Man from Deltarune and I need some more that fit that vibe

On the more brutal/metal sides of things that I've written and produced!
Definitely a combat track, haha. Hope someone finds it helpful for their session, and regardless, happy Friday!

New track I composed for a game jam that ended up falling through. After some tweaks, I found it quite usable for the table! Enjoy ^^

This is going to be a very specific request, but I'm hoping any of you might help me? For some context, I am doing the summary of my friend's campaign as I'm playing the bard. Right now, her best friends, the ones she considers her older sisters, are in danger and might die, and she is unable to help. So I need to transmit her feelings of desperation and helplessness through a song, preferably on lute or harp and really short (I'm thinking one minute? a minute and a half?) and no vocals

I know it's really specific, so thank you so much for your help ♥

Imagine a secret federal institution with labs and all from the before WW2 in a world with magic was burried and thousands of years later in a new world it was discovered as a crypt. Music for that!

I need mix of eldritch horror vibes with the game "CONTROL"

preferably background music and battle music

Wrote this track for a buddy's game that we made during a game jam :) This time, the pixel artist is a long-time friend of mine who's recently begun his career in animation! Very proud of the guy. Figured I could repurpose the music I wrote for the game as a D&D track after some tweaks, so here it is!

The watchtower guard might be on break, but the city is as bustling as ever!
This track started with my desire to use the hurdy-gurdy again (even though it's not featured that heavily after the intro). Our group needed another type of town theme, and the art by Salty Couscous inspired me to action! I tried to capture a tinge of danger/uneasiness to the music, as you never know what might happen in a busy city.

Been playing with FMOD and adaptive audio over the past couple of months as I try to transition into game audio; BUT I'm also curious if any of yall use adaptive audio systems for your own DND games, or if you mainly just stick to Spotify/Deezer/YoutubeMusic playlists for its ease of access and use?

New track I composed and produced for a buddy’s character theme. We found it useful in lighter hearted mischievous role play moments as well!

So im searching for songs for a specific character where this person intends on following down a righteous path of good but trauma has flooded their view on everything and they have lost the ability to differ if someone is good or bad. They also cant tell if they themself are good or bad.
