The Broken Telephone jam series alternates music prompts to make art, and the winning art is used to make a prompt for the music in the next jam following. Therefore this winning art piece from BT-1 is a cute scene with a dragon-like animal and its human friend in a placid environment. I decided to go with sort of a bouncy positive sounding track, in consequence, rather parallel to let's say the c…

The jam called for music involving the final fall of a hero like they are dying after losing a fight.  My treatment has kind of the minute or two before the fight begins and then a jump scare and then i went with a short battle sequence and an electric guitar solo reminiscent of when Flash Gordon in the 1980 film was being executed with the poison gas (unsuccessfully as it turned out) to close us …

Ballad of Midgaard's Finest Newbie, Edgar The Horrible! The jam called for more of a full album treatment but it was a hard week so I only have the one track. It's decent length though because implicitly it's going to be part of that French jam that has to do with tabletop RPGs which is due in about 12 days (and which also kind of has the concept of a multi-track submission).  Due to concurrency…

Extended-play album version of my submission for Impressions Composing Jam : OST #2, hosted by KaleOverlord for Itch.IO for March 2025.  It comprises 5 tracks, each one of which corresponds to a painting by Cole in the 1830's-1840's chronicling each historical stage of Empire.   Usual caveat that the MuseScore PDF's have different instruments due to that app's limitations compared to instruments…

submission for Weekly Note Composing Jam 14 prompt was "Shop Music" went for a whimsical stop and start rhythm with gaps Probably the closest personal inspiration for this is Boltac's Trading Post in the 8-bit NES of Wizardry I : Proving Grounds Of The Mad Overlord YouTube of Boltac: a streaming link is provided below: https://soundcloud.com/doug-stoothoff/elysian-armament-bazaarDouglas …

Out in the wider world beyond itch this (release CCCLXXIX) is the first track of SebēšEšrā album that is not an Alpha Remix of an earlier piece from an earlier album.  In the sense of having a lead-synth contrapuntally darting around (and doing so effectively, and on-the-beat for the most part with very little flaws) this track could be said to be a remote spiritual successor to Fat Bard Contortio…
