Albums
For several years, I’ve worked on music under the name Zweihänder. You can hear all my albums on Bandcamp by clicking here.
All of the Zweihänder albums have reached #1 on the chiptunes or electronic charts and two have reached the overall top spot Bandcamp. Here is the most recent album:
Here’s the previous album. It’s a bit more melodic and takes its inspiration from old DOS RPGs (and dungeon synth)
Classical/Symphonic
I grew up in a musical household; mom was a concert pianist, dad was a jazz/rock pianist… but they both played multiple instruments. I like to think that helped me develop an appreciation for composition.
Here are a few samples… some heavy, some soft, some weird. Note, most of these are sample songs that will remain unfinished until I have a use for them.
Synth (Outrun, FM Synth, Cyberpunk, etc.)
I do some heavier synth with a bit of chiptunes mixed in for good measure.
Chiptune Heavy Metal
Various Systems
Sega Genesis Style:
This game scene is from a secret click adventure I’m working on… So, enjoy the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive tunes.
SNES
The Early Days of DOS
After listening to a bunch of old tunes from Ultima 1-4, I sat down and made these:
DOS OPL2/3 & Adlib-Style
I also have a few NES-style songs. Email me for those samples.
Piano
You can hear more in Solar Crisis, a game made by Jess and I for the 2023 Adventure Game Jam. I did the art, dialog, and music. Jessica (programmer and friend) made everything work and helped in the conceptual department. Everything, including the music, was created in two weeks:
