Hello! My name is Sam.
I make music and sound effects.
I began taking guitar lessons at age 8 and quickly developed a love for the instrument. After several
years of playing I started experimenting with writing and producing my own pieces. This interest in
music creation coincided with my obsession of video games (particularly indie games like Minecraft, Fez,
and Terraria), whose music I found to be incredibly influential.
While I like to explore various genres, my personal writing style tends to have electronic and ambient
undertones. I like to frequently include guitars, both acoustic and electric, in my compositions as
well.
Highlighted Works:
The album Game Jams is a constantly growing collection of
tracks that I've written and produced for
various game jam competitions. A lot of these jams took place over a weekend, with several covering a
full week. In nearly all of these I was also in charge of creating the sound effects.
I absolutely love the process of taking a concept or game prototype and trying to figure out the musical
atmosphere that will best suit it, which instrumentation to use, and how to motivate and engage the
player.
You can read more about this collection of tracks here as well as find links to play the
completed
games.
The album Song a Week is a project that has done more to help
me grow creatively than I ever expected.
As you can probably guess, I write and release a new song every week (although I have become more lax
with
this now that I'm in the middle of a few other projects).
I have 3 main goals with this project: 1) To experiment and constantly be trying out new ideas. 2) To be
able to write and produce music in a shorter window of time. 3) To keep myself making music regularly.
Apart from a few breaks for sicknesses and moving I've remained very consistent with this project, and
the growth that it has led to has been fantastic.
You can check out the whole album here, I (sometimes) add new tracks
every Sunday.
Threshold is perhaps my favorite project that I've worked on to date.
This project was the result of a long-standing series I've been doing since 2020 - Project Month. These
are month long projects that have a specific goal in mind, which is decided beforehand. For the
first few years the goal was to write a new guitar riff everyday.
Then it evolved into writing a short EP. Then a full-length album.
Threshold was the result of a lot of hard work over the month of
November, 2024 - an experimental, ambient,
puzzle-driven EP.
Only the first song is readily available, the rest are all hidden behind secrets (that you can
figure out through the music).
