Ubisoft’s Settlers VII debut trailer by Fabrikfilm. Hope you enjoy the music, and please feel free to read about the musical themes below.

The music features two main themes that enhance the contrast between the battle and gameplay scenes in the trailer. For the scenes where the players are enjoying the game, a predominantly D ‘lydian’ theme takes over -- featuring the #4 (G#). The theme appears mostly in mid-range violins and shapes itself out of the orchestral texture.

For the army scenes, a minor mode battle theme takes over. The theme is also based in ‘d’ but it’s developed through common-tone chord progressions. Between the two appearances of the battle themes, the very same melody is used as an accompaniment figure for the bright horn+violin melody. The mood shifts in the trailer allowed me to work closely with the themes, as they work to guide and pace the action.

You’re also welcome to check out the trailer on gametrailers.com here. And here are the notated themes for reference.

Draw Race 2 was just recently announced by the Finnish developer RedLynx. The game has been received extremely well by the critics and players alike. It has a 5-star rating with over 1k votes just in the US. I even get the occasional email from players commenting about the music, which obviously makes my day. Through the video embedded below you’ll be able to get a good taste of the music. Definitely go play the game if you get the chance.



Here’s a brief excerpt from the piano theme. Full solo piano sheet music coming soon!

I’ve recently had the chance to work with SimBin on their new trailer for STCC2. If you’re a racing games fan, you know who SimBin are, they make some seriously kick-ass games. I hope you enjoy the rock-orchestral feel to the music.

Touch Arcade: “The soundtrack is very majestic and just sounds entirely appropriate for your role as a rogue balloon pirate taking to the skies against your enemies. You’ll definitely want to play with some headphones in order to really take in the music.”

Player Quotes:
“Usually you see people wishing they could have their own music as an option. Not here, the soundtrack is one of the best game soundtracks I've ever heard. I find myself even humming it in the shower! “

“The music alone is worth getting the game.”

“Where it really shines is the soundtrack, which sounds like Howard Shore meets the 90s indie band Morphine.”




Rogue Sky is an immensely enjoyable game published by Chillingo and developed by Pebble Bug Studios. As you can see from the art-style we have a “badass” hot air balloon throwing some weight around. I’ve written a fun, ‘comically dark’ soundtrack for it. More detail about the music to follow but the trailer will give you a great preview for what to expect.

Hulk Hogan’s Main Event is a wrestling game for Xbox Kinect. The main character theme increases in detail and power as the player rises from a small arena to the grand stage. The music also has this ‘raw’ feel which gives the game a pretty cool tone.
