Soundtracks out now: GUILD SAGA & SOUL STALKER
For Guild Saga: Vanished Worlds, I went for a wistful and mellow take on my usual earworminess. "Resting Area" features just whistle, women's choir and harp. As this is a Western pixel art RPG with Japanese influences, it's been a cool exercise to straddle that line musically!

Get a feel for the amount of layering & mixing going on in my compositions! For the Cloudheim trailer, I combined a full symphony orchestra with live instrumentation and *lots* of earcandy. 🤤

When composing for @conradicalgames.bsky.social 's Bullet Heaven SOUL STALKER, he asked me to write a track inspired by an official Fire Emblem arrange album. So this track starts out nice 'n folky, and gets a rock bite halfway through! 🤘

Currently looking for projects! 🤓

My Spotify wrapped!

1). Weird funky jazz;
2). The game music GOAT;
3). Progressive/death metal.

I'm a normal boy!

My first two - very different! - full game soundtracks have released. Have a listen! 🥳

SOUL STALKER by @conradicalgames.bsky.social has catchy, old-school game music inspired by Zelda & Fire Emblem. 🤩

GUILD SAGA's OST is mellow and wistful, invoking Chrono Cross & '90s CRPGs.🥲

Proud to have two soundtracks released last month! :D Both the '90s RPG inspired *Guild Saga* and the arcadey bullet heaven *Soul Stalker* are out, and their soundtracks as well. Earworms and wistful dreaminess abound!

Available everywhere - incl Spotify: open.spotify.com/artist/48uYm...

My favourite piece of music from Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Construct Factory - is now on piano! Skyward Swordian vibes, yes please 🥰.

Hi, I'm a melodic game music composer from the Netherlands! Sure happy to be on a social network that doesn't smell like Axe For Men deodorant and Cheetos!

Got some nice projects going on, check out timdeman.com for a selection of my work :D .
