Rising Storm Original Soundtrack

Rickwood — Wed, 22 May 2013 21:20:18 +0000

The original soundtrack for Tripwire Interactive’s Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm is now available on Bandcamp. I wrote the main theme and the score for the Japanese side of the game while Lennie Moore wrote the US side. For the Japanese, a mixture of traditional Japanese instruments are a prominent feature along side a full orchestra.

The game can be preordered on Steam. Banzaiiiiiii!!!!

The Secret Castle

A unique hidden object game for the iOS is available start Thursday March 28th, 2013 from Platronic Games. I contributed a mysterious yet upbeat music score to help spark a sense of exploration and discovery. Listen and purchase the soundtrack on Bandcamp

2012 Wrap

Rickwood — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:26:35 +0000

2012 turned out to be a pretty good year. The end of this year will see the release of a handful of smaller titles I worked on. Look for The Secret Castle by Platronic Games, Run Dear, Run! X-mas Edition by Cindy Chen, and a couple more games from Sky Parlor Studios.

Work continues on Hi-Rez Studios’ Smite as well as a few other secret projects so 2013 looks like another great year.

Happy Holidays!
