New Album: Enchain!

A new album has been dropped! Enchain is the ninth Epic Trax album, and it's full of new styles and techniques!

Despite having the most depressing title ever given to an Epic Trax album, Enchain includes quite a few upbeat tracks, namely Brighter, Raver, Rower, Slicker, Traveler and Winner. And yes, now there's a track naming convention, for this album only. Odd, I know. It comes with the name.

You can also get a taste of the album by checking out the Album Sampler here!

New Album: Shock!

This album has more experimental tracks, more epic-sounding tracks and more sad tracks because everyone requested it so much, (not). But I made them anyway! It even includes the return of the sorely missed obligatory electronic-themed track!

Download the free album to get a bonus track, Wake, which I promise is worth the effort.

The Making of "Cremate"

Most of these albums are developed over a couple of months. Some songs go through as many as four passes, while others, (like Ghosting for example), I have no problems with on the first go.

This album was the trickiest to make so far. I started and then discarded more then seven tracks, either because I hated how they sounded or because they weren't unique enough.

I tried to make each track in this album do something new, that I hadn't done before. You may have noticed that the usual complimentary electronic/synth based track, like Vector Shift (from Riddle), Electrocation (from Husk), Lull (from Nuke) and Omicron (from Raze), isn't on this album.

I'm going to run down the production process for each song in the album, with some stats, for anyone interested, in the order of first song created to last.

Since the twelve track list is quite long and I don't want this post to hog all the space on the main page, click the post header or "Read more" below to see the full post!

New Visual Novel Sampler Album

Now released! This visual novel sampler contains three tracks. They are meant to be an example as to the kind of tracks I would compose for a visual novel, but anyone is free to use them in their visual novel if they wish.

Of course, it's probably easier to compose these types of tracks when you have an idea of the kind of overall tone and texture the tracks should have. It was a struggle to keep myself from varying the melodies too much, but I think that, for future reference, one B-section is permissible.

You may see posts in the future about composing, things I'm working on, and my next album. I won't promise anything, though.
