Christmas For The Kiddos, Vol. 1
I have 10 nieces and nephews and being the poor musician that I am, instead of buying them all christmas gifts, I decided to give them the gift of .*~Music~*. Christmas For The Kiddos, vol. 1 is a selection of songs that I recorded with the intention of them being sing-along tracks that my nieces and nephews could listen to every year and (hopefully) grow to love. I hope you enjoy them too! Happy Holidays!

More Music (Earlier than 2015)
I wrote this piece as the main theme for a Game Jame game titled The Fallen. The game was centered around legendary swords and weapons and I wanted to center the music in the same way. So I used sounds of swords and weapon hits to create the underlying beat.
This music is from the game Press Up which I worked on during the Pittsburgh Global Game Jam in January 2015. Press Up won the Judge's Choice Award. Check out the game on the Global Game Jam website here: globalgamejam.org/2015/games/press

Slot Car Island is a racing game designed for families to play on their television using a tablet or smartphone device created by Team Fenix at the ETC in collaboration with the Office of the Chief Creative Officer (OCCO) at Entertainment Arts.

Flying Squirrel Delivering A Pizza...Game is a 3-dimensional flying game for the Occulus Rift and Playstation Move systems. A young flying squirrel is delivering a pizza (go with it). On his way he must collect the missing ingredients and deliver the pizza in time! The music is orchestral and gives the sensation of flying. Created with Cubase.

This East-meets-West track was done in collaboration with my classmate Adarshkumar Pavani at the ETC. Embracing traditional Indian musical elements, this piece was a reflection on our adventure module at the ETC. This was created in Cubase using the HALion One Virtual Instruments.
