ATM Episode II, Soneros Music Preview

March 25, 2010

I couldn’t help myself and wrote some new music for a few sections in the game. Town music always kicks ass, so I started from there. I’ve always loved the town of Soneros as a tropical-resort-like town. Even in the very first Arvale (Journey of Illusion) I wanted it to have its own separate music [...]

Music Archive Review: Anthelion 2 Title

March 8, 2010

While going through my Music Archive, I decided to add some descriptions for each song, how it came about, what the style is, and the overall composition. But geez, there’s a lot of them. Like over 130 songs. So that would take a crap-load of time. I figure if I do a post about a [...]

The Incredible Shrinking Studio, Part 5: Mimo Mini Monitor

January 11, 2010

Continuing the Incredible Shrinking Studio series… I needed a little more screen real estate. While I’m quite used to using Digital Performer on one monitor now, I really wish I could have just a small extra monitor where I could tweak plugins while composing and mixing.

New Arvale Castle Music
