26 y/o dude, Sweden. Passions in life - games, music and the combination / creation of the two. Got a decent little nerd base of my own, but always struggling to stay afloat economically.
Spent super much time as a "competitive" FPS gamer, like this. Have lost the motivation though and found the work/time/headache to fun/reward ratio to be really messed up, so quit that right before newyears '09. Back to the roots - fun games for pure enjoyment! Mega Man fo' lyfe.
Big fan of the Destructoid podcasts. Will never forget you, RetroforceGO!
Yada yada, made more crap. In reverse chronological order:
Since I just finished this and wrote the description on YouTube, it'll have to do here too.
-
"Iron Will March" is my interpretation of "VS Lumine ~ The First Form" from Mega Man X8, and a track on the upcoming album project "Maverick Rising" at http://www.ocremix.org .
As the "not-quite-calm before the (final) storm" (and lead-up to The Second Form) I wanted to make something heavy and ominous!

Ninja Gaiden has super awesome music so in a bored moment I threw this super shortie together super quickie. Super duper!
As previously mentioned, huge fan of The (former) Adventures of Duane & BrandO and their current projects both of whom I am collaborating with on different tracks; this time though it's just a cover of 8Bit Duane's Action Adventure World's "Bad Dudes" with his original voice track on it. More (and better) like this will happen, and be on the lookout for an online release of a new (awesome) AAW track April 7th (Jackie Chan's birthday)!
Finally, a suggestion from an old class mate and another quickie. Not much to say, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Holy shit! Nice pick for the Mega Man X project! That's probably not the first track (or game for that matter) that anyone would think of when it comes to Mega Man arrangements. Good on ya for giving props to that! It seems a bit short, though, like it cuts off too soon. Is it still a work in progress?
Thanks! No it's done; but like I said my excuse is that it's a lead-up to the Second Form track which is handled by veteran and guitar-god Sixto Sounds. If you know who Sixto sounds is, that should be everything you need to know about how much ass is being kicked there instead!
(The truth is also that it's my first not-straight-cover ever and I was trying to start somewhere manageable, AND... I've always kind of liked short tracks, believe it or not. And you know what's (even) short(er)? Most game music! :D)
X8 was a really good game! :@ An X9 would be nice considering the cliffhanger we're left with. Hope there'll be billions and billions of Mega Man games on the 3DS, but I trust them on that one :)
