A university graduate from Glamorgan university, I achieved a 2.2 BA Hons in Popular Music. My dissertation was about the interactivity of music within interactive media, however focusing on video games composition in particular. Through the past 2 years I have worked on a few different projects ranging from side scrolling shooters (Ragnarok Arena Remastered), first person shooters (Fps Terminator) and fun platformers (Thread Bear). All projects with different needs and styles. With the compositional experience in composing for multiple different genre of games and projects I am able to compose in any style or genre. With over 6 years of experience in musical education including school, college and university and not only working within the indie games industry but also 2D animation cartoons I am able to adapt to any and all types of media. If you are interested in my services for commercial or none commercial productions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Just a sneeky peek into what I have been up to on my first project, Ragnarok Arena Remastered. Due for release sometime in Jan 2010

Amazing, the phaser hurts my ears haha
By far the best of the three tracks. The other two have a bit poor mastering as they distort (as in bad distortion), also got this very annoying very high pitched synth-thing going on. But this I like, very futuristic, techy big beat splendor. Looking forward to hear more.
There is not any distortion on any of the tracks, they were all mixed below 0db which = no clipping so maybe you need to have a look at your volume settings you may be overloading your speakers or headset.
No there's no clipping, the tracks have just been mixed/mastered so loud the sound's squished a bit too much for my liking, sometimes making a track sound like it's just distorting, especially if there is percussion work with heavy overdrive on it.
But as loudness seems to be today's word, you are hardly the only one doing this. But I'd still say the ragnarok tunes are a bit too squished. I listened to the other more orchestral stuff and found it quite pleasing, not squished at all. Keep up the good work!
amazing <- I actually meant that.
