More and more people ask for some happy, lively background or title music loops for their casual mobile games. As I have more examples of epic and orchestral stuff on my music site at the moment I thought it´s a good idea to post some examples that I created ...

I´m pleased to hear that the first podcast using one of my music tracks as intro music is now available.

Great feeling to play my electric guitar for a little song now and then

I´ve created some new royalty free audio track for sale. The title says it all – In Your Face! Without much ado this song starts just like a punch in your face. You are listening to a powerful Synth Metal track that may remind you of the famous German Metal band Rammstein.

I´ve written a short loop (about 30 seconds) for the title page of an iOS open source game called “Desert Race”.

It´s about a car race on a highway through a lonely desert. I wanted to get some reminiscence of the old “Western” sound (using the guitar sound and that banjo) but at the same time a somewhat “modern” approach to it. Hope you like it! You ...
