I met Matt Group at GDC 2009 and sent him a handful of demo tracks to possibly use in his thesis project at UCSC. As these things go, he just threw the demos into the game. Here’s the trailer video for his game Goldenfist, with my music in the background:

Done with a couple of Reason Thor synths I think.

My first attempt at using Reason’s Thor synth to do C64 style music.  Thick NIN style distorted atmosphere included for good measure.

In 2003 I consolidated the best of all the music I’d done until then into a 13 minute “EP”. Since I didn’t know what, if anything, I’d ever use the music for, I named it “Unresolved EP”. Part of me is embarrassed by it, part of me gets emotional while listening when I remember back to where I was in my life when I created each song.
