The Ballad of Waterdeep (I'm so sorry)

Hi everyone,

The poll results are in and you have chosen Waterdeep: Dragon Heist as the adventure module you would like me to write a soundtrack for!

It is said that in the Yawning Portal inn many a bard has found their audience. Though, it is also true that for every one goes on to excellence, there are a dime a dozen that fail in spectacular fashion.

This track is the first in the series, and it starts off a little... unusual. Whilst the other tracks will be more akin to m...

Poll: Which d&d adventure module should I write a soundtrack for?

Hi everyone!

I've decided to take on a big new project - writing a soundtrack for an entire WotC d&d adventure! 

I've already polled my Bard tier supporters to narrow down which adventure to choose. The result was a tie between three adventures, and so I'd love to hear from all of you as to which you would rather hear. 

The poll will be open for 24 hours, so get your vote in quick!

Elven Ruins - a music & map collaboration

"The roots of the tree break through the stone, speaking across the abandoned chamber. Elvish runes surround it which light the room with an eerie pale glow. As you stand in the ruins of the ancient elves, you start to hear sounds all around you. Singing, and beautiful and haunting lament for the dead..."

Dance of Deceit - suspense track

"The curtains are drawn to one side to reveal a grand hall. Within you see dozens of finely dressed members of the nobility, each with their face hidden beneath a mask. You own disguises are scrutinised immediately by their hungry eyes which take apart each detail to try to guess your true identities. As the party gets going and guests start to chatter, I want each of you to make me a deception check..."

Foundry VTT module updated!

Hi everyone,

Quick update to let you know the Foundry VTT module has been updated with the most recent 10 tracks, making for a total of 30 tracks. 

I'm considering putting together an alternate version of the module that uses loopable versions of the tracks instead. Maybe as a Patreon-only module? I'm not sure yet. Let me know if that's something you're interested in.

The Helpful Hag - music and map collab

"The house itself sits atop two gigantic bird legs, and sways slightly in the wind. As you approach, it lowers itself down to ground level and the front door creaks open. Gnarled, bony fingers wrap around the doorway. The shadowy figure of the hag beckons you closer."

Hi folks!

7 free atmospheric bonus tracks!

Hey lovely Patreon folks,

I've dug into my archive of old music to bring you a selection of 7 atmospheric ambient fantasy tracks. These are free for all Patreon supporters, meaning you won't be charged for this post. 

The tracks combine orchestral and ethnic instruments with long reverbs and delays to create some cool evocative sounds. I hope you all enjoy listening!

The Frontier - A map and music collab

"We call this place civilised, but it ain't," the man tells you as he spits on the sandy ground. "You board that there train, you'll find yourself in a land where no law can rule. Where banditry is the worst of your troubles. The frontier ain't a place for soft folk from the city. You go there, you better be prepared to kill."

Today's track is the second in a trio of collaborations with Tom Cartos, a brilliant map maker and fellow Patreon creato...

Free map biome poll!

Heya lovely patrons. 

The next collab with Tom Cartos will be out tomorrow, and it comes with another free map! I don't want to spoil exactly what it is, but think valley / canyon.

With that said, we need to decide which biome you'd like for this map! Snow won last time, which I think was my favourite of the bunch for that map, but for this one my personal preference is for desert. Alas, this is not a dictatorship, so I'll let you vote on which version you'd prefer in hi-res!...

Across the Hinterlands - a map and music collaboration with Tom Cartos (free map!)

"Beyond the borders of our lands you will fine a place where civilisation has left only the faintest mark. There you must travel, across the snow fields of the hinterlands, where each day is a battle for survival."

Hi folks!

Today's track is the first in a trio of collaborations with Tom Cartos, a brilliant map maker and fellow Patreon creator. We will be releasing three music / map combos this month following a set theme: The Frontier View Post

Upcoming Collab - Tell me what map biome you want

Heya folks,

I have a very exciting collab coming up this month which will bag you lovely Patreon supporters some free hi-res maps. The map maker in question has kindly offered to give one hi-res version of each map we collab on. Each map they release has multiple alternate versions for different biomes, so I need your help to decide which biome to gift to you all in beautiful hi-res. Let me know in the poll.

Tribal War

As you look through the foliage you see the camp. Already you can smell smoke from the burning fires, their ember glow lightning the silhouettes of a dozen tribal warriors, clan in tanned hides and grasping wooden shields and spears. They shout war cries to one another in their native tongue as their shamans appeal to the spirits for a victorious battle to come.

Any of you who have been following my last two live streams will have heard this track in the making. The track was ...

New download archive links

Heya folks.

I've switched from Dropbox to Google Drive for space reasons, therefore the links to the download archives for the various different Tiers have changed. I'll be private messaging you all with the appropriate link for your Tier. The discord and the original posts on Patreon with the links have also been updated.

Bonus Track - Magical Library

Hey folks. I have some brand new tracks in the main Tabletop RPG Music series on the way soon, but in the meantime, here's an exclusive bonus track for you lovely patreon supporters.

This one was written during one of my first composing live streams. Someone in the chat requested music for a magical library, and this was the result! A gentle and magical journey with strings, choir, and harp.

Behind every bonus track is the story of a track that didn't quite make the cut to be on...

Ascendant Chaos - Sci Fi Combat / Tension

Hi everyone! One of my lovely Bard tier supporters asked for some sci-fi heist music for their January track suggestion. Along the way, things got a little darker than just a simple heist, hence the title, Ascendant Chaos!

I hope you all enjoy listening and find use for this in your games. It's quite sci fi sounding, but probably fine to use in any combat / tension situation regardless of genre.

The download archive has been updated with the mp3 + 1 hour version. To find this arc...

Free bonus track (Patreon only) - Swamp Town

Hey folks! Another free bonus track for you all. This one will be familiar to  any of you who caught some of my earlier live streams (Chris and Summer I think may have been there). 

It's a track for a swamp town, with some mystical goings on happening behind the scenes. I enjoyed writing this track but ended up scrapping it as I wasn't 100% happy with the overall sound quality. Plus sometimes tracks just don't fire off my inspiration as much when I come back to it to finish it...

Free bonus track (Patreon only) - Peaceful Drone

Hi folks! Sometimes I write tracks that don’t quite make the cut to qualify for a full release. For now those unfinished or unrefined tracks have been gathering dust.

After the War

What better way to end 2020 than with a dark and moody ambience. I should have called this track ‘after the vaccine’ perhaps...

This is the second track I’ve written on my portable setup, which seems to be best used for long evolving ambience style tracks. For those looking for some more structured tracks, fear not! I’ll be back to my studio in a few days and have some exciting track ideas ready to go.

Thanks so much for all the support this year. Hope you all have a great...

Isolated Planet

Hi everyone! Excited to share a new track with you, a mysterious and otherworldly ambience. This is the first track I’ve ever created using my iPad portable setup, and it was a blast to write. I’ve found some really cool and unique ways to write music using this setup and I can’t wait to dive deeper into it in the future.

In other news, it’s almost the end of 2020! I setup this Patreon on a whim during the first Covid lockdown here in the UK and it’s one of the best decisions ...
