Composition Portfolio

I have a passion for digital composition, which began first with simple beats, then branched out into larger, more soundtrack influenced composition. Many of my compositions can be found on my soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/gruggory

This composition began with the basic chords repetitions and melody. Finding a direction for it was a challenge, but I feel some of the latin percussion elements really made it come alive.

This piece was an early composition of mine, where I wanted to challenge myself by making synthesizers a key part of the sound. This since has become a major part of my style. I am especially proud of the blend of acoustic bass and electronic 808 samples.

This composition was the first I ever started; and it took a full year and a half to build it up to a place I was happy with. The real challenge was taking a very simple repetitive process, and finding the most interesting way to switch things up when the repetitions felt like they overstayed their welcome.

In this piece I had in mind the game Destiny 2. My goal was to capture the vibe of the game's soundtrack while doing it in my own style. Unexpectedly the piece became more and more orchestral as it went, in spite of being inspired by a science fiction setting.
