#18: I’ll Be Here In The Morning

Extra #11: NecroSwarm OST

I participated in my first Audio Jam this year, which is like a game jam but instead of making the entire game you just make some audio tracks. For this, we were given the hypothetical game “NecroSwarm,” an old-school RTS where you play as a necromancer who commands armies of the dead. I decided to go with something that sounded out of the late 90s or early 2000s “edgy” video games. We were tasked with creating the main theme and three sound effects. My skill with sound effects is pretty minimal and so I didn’t do anything all that interesting, but I will share the music file I made. Since making this, the file has been included in the “Extras, Pt. 2” album.

Extra #10: Easter Service 4/09/23

Occasionally I play for services at churches, and this year I was asked to provide music for the Easter service. When I played for this particular Lutheran church, it was usually just me, and I would improvise something the day of for the congregation. But today, in addition to myself on piano, I was going to have organ, trumpet, and trombone. So I arranged the 14 musical pieces for our 4-part band. I’m including it here since I did actually go to the trouble of producing sheet music for everyone, so it’s a real thing I made. However, unlike most other musical creations, I’m not linking to a recording as there is none. Maybe in the future I could upload sheet music for downloading, but at the moment I’m not going to.
