[PORTFOLIO] A composer of music! - Music Composer/Sound Designer/Audio

[shhwonk]

Hi!! My name is Russell Gordon.

• My compositions combine haunting melodies, grooving rhythms, and impressionistic atmospheres, which are most potent in a story-driven RPG, adventure game, or anything with a focus on action. Each piece aims to be a translation of the world in which it exists. Unusual production and composing techniques give my work a distinctive signature style.
• I can do anything! Literally? I'm capable of a wide diversity of styles and sound: classical orchestra, electronic, ambient, rock, metal, jazz, funk... these can then be recorded with real instruments, synths, soundfonts, samples. A short, looping 8-bit track? Some long, droning ambience? An epic symphonic rock tune? A goofy theme that samples flatulence? Yes, yes, yes, and... maybe.
• My influences include the music from the ‘golden age’ of the NES, SNES, and PlayStation (esp. Chrono Trigger, Mega Man, Castlevania, Final Fantasy, Ys), progressive rock, jazz fusion, avant-garde/experimental music, etc.

I really like your work! I'm working on a Castlevania inspired game right now, but I'm not quite at a point where I need music just yet. But I am going to bookmark this page for when I am.
