The Breaka Jetski Game Engine Explained
(written for Cru Digital)

Games are a powerful medium. While a film can only provide a few hours of entertainment to a group of people, a game can provide potentially limitless entertainment to a potentially limitless audience through the lure and viral spread of social competition. When Breaka commissioned us to create a microsite, we put a game front and centre. A good game needs a great idea, a tonne of play-testing, ten tonnes of optimisation and a solid framework. In this article I’m going to introduce you some of the processes involved in creating the Breaka Island Jetski Challenge.

So I’ve been playing arround with orchestral composition for a while now and it never really gets a post. Most of what I’ve done is draft or concept and I rarely finish anything, but here are a few:

Adventure of the Something
Zombies Aproach
Scary Spider

This is a song that will likely be used for an upcoming campaign. Inspired by the work of Michael Land on Monkey Island.

The Secret of Milky Island

Just recorded a rock track, first in a while. It’s an attempt at mainstream rock and it’s untitled as of yet, but as with all experiments its… an… experiment.

Check it out / take a listen.

For reasons unknown to all I have decided to do a rocked-up version of Oasis’ track Wonderwall.

It’s faster, harder, louder and rockier – not that it needed to be. Take a listen if you want.

It has been a little while since I posted – in the last couple of weeks I’ve been pushing out some websites for Cru. (more on this soon)

I have, just today, finished recording/writing the third Vyrion track for the upcoming EP titled “The Victim”. At just under eight minutes long.
Become “The Victim”

UPDATE – Has been properly mastered.

This metal track is the direct follow-up to The Decider – though it was written a while beforehand. Once titled “The One That Mark Hates That Isn’t Green”, this is likely to appear on the next Vyrion disc.

Listen to ‘The Decision’

I’ve been recording for about eight hours – with a break for a Jim Beam or two in the mean time.

The result is the following track – a demo for the upcoming Vyrion EP titled “The Decider”.

Daleload “The Decider”

I’ve been flat out at work and have had little in the way of things to upload. Either that or, more likely, I found the Drumkit From Hell plugin after going camping on Easter Weekend. If Devin Townsend can do it with Ziltoid the Omniscient… well… I suggest you make me a coffee. You have five earth minutes.

Unwind with The Drumkit From Hell

Again, this track will probably go to Vyrion’s next EP.
