Below is a little slice of some of my recent original compositions that probably best characterize my sound. I tend to favor guitars and synths, as I feel those give me the best control over my intended expression. Check out my soundcloud to hear more.
A chill beat and guitar arpeggios that came to me on the first day of fall 2020.
One of the many songs I churned out during the 48-hour 2020 Global Game Jam, I think this one turned out nice! The main synth melodic instruments were modeled partially after what manatees actually sound like (...they squeak).

Moody detuned guitars repeatedly descend and break apart, rising up each time to persevere through the malaise, only to fall down again and again.
A friend of mine playfully described this: "So, Mario and Yoshi tapdance to a town on the seaside?"
Sounds about right to me.
The first of a three-part journey of shared thematic material, this tune kicks off with a joyous, rhythmically deviant piano, joined by other instruments as it develops, harkening feelings of a new adventure!
The second tune of the three-part journey, our adventurers are unexpectedly greeted by a city torn asunder, exploring its ruins for hints as to what happened, discovering an ugly truth of lies and betrayal.
The final tune of the three-part journey, our weary adventurers saved the day and are now relaxing beneath the stars, watching streaks of gold and purple shoot across the night sky, as spaceships launch into orbit from the nearby starport.
