Hi there GAF! I made this little thread to share my music with you. Have a listen and if you want , let me know what you think of it! I will be updating this post with the new music I make, so if you like what you hear, stick around!

P.S: Let me know if you want download links, or interested in using my music in any project or yours! :)

I compose music of various genres, from epic/orchestral to trance and electro. Here we go:

1) Epic Clash Against The Darkness
It's inspired by trailer music mainly.

2) The Secret Gathering Of The Nymphs
This one, was inspired by the Nymphs, the ancient Greek guardian female spirits of the mountains and groves, springs and rivers, trees and valleys and cool grottoes.

It is more in a classical music style. It's a little melancholic, yet gentle.

3) Raijin's Drums
Raijin is the Japanese God of Thunder and Lightning in Japanese mythology. He creates them when he plays his drums (and he has a lot of them). So this composition inspired by him, is drum-heavy with a lot of Taiko drums involved. A quick but powerful piece. Hope you enjoy it!



4) A Throne Of Steel (Conan The Barbarian Tribute)
This piece is inspired by the mighty Conan The Barbarian. He became king by no other right, except than, that of his sword. A fearless warrior from the north, with his own sense of honor.

Now go and read Robert E. Howard's Conan original stories. And then watch the movie and listen to Vasilis Poledouris' awesome epic music for it (simply a masterpiece)!

5) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2RQ36wnsv8
This epic composition was by request of my friend Giannis Rubulias, a Greek comic book artist, as well as writer and actor. This piece is inspired by the "villain" of his epic fantasy comic series "The Dragonphoenix Chronicles", the Emperor. You can check out his stuff here - http://rubusthebarbarian.deviantart.com

6) Futuristic Highway
My return to Electronica, after some attempts at epic orchestral music! Enjoy!

7) Damien Black V.2
This is something I made a few years back, with Music 3000 on the good ol' PS2. This piece was inspired by the Castlevania series of games, and particularly the classic masterpiece Symphony of the Night. Forgive the crappy quality since it was recorded via TV on a PC, and enjoy some of Ayami Kojima's beautiful Castlevania artwork as well as some other great dark and gothic art by Castlevania games!

8) Proficiscor Apparatus (March Of The Machines)
A litlle experiment that leans towards industrial electronica with some nice guitars and drums to boot!
9) 8-Bit Nostalgia
My own tribute to the 8-Bit era of gaming. Different times, different games, but magic none the less (those who lived through this era know what I'm talking about). For all nostalgic gamers (and not), this for you! 8-Bit lives on!

10) Those Who Roam The City
The City is a lving entity. And there are those who traverse it conquering all obstacles. They are known as Traceurs, or Free Runners. Parkour (or Free Running) is the Art of Moving, and the Free Runners use it and make the City their playground! This one is inspired by Parkour and the people who made this modern urban sport!

11) Dreaming Of Galaxies
A trippy chill out piece inspired by the vast and magnificent Universe. May we all some day live and feel the wonders of the Cosmos...

12) Knocking On Destiny's Door
A mix between electronic and orchestral with some choir and strings providing atmosphere. What happens when we are about to meet (and fulfill) our destiny? It's like the calm AND the storm all at once!

13) It's The Music (Can't You Feel It?)
Another old compo I made back in 2007. Electronica with touches of ambient and some atmospheric moments!

14) Industrial Area
Minimalistic electronica with an industrial overall theme! Composed back in 2007 as a little experiment. Also, the "vocals" are done by me (altered digitally of course). Hope you enjoy it!

15) Higher Plane of Exist-Dance
This piece,is more Trance than ever! Hope you enjoy it!

16) Digital Tech Pulse
My first track for 2011. A little something to get you in energetic mood!

17) Electrons vs Photons
Another electronica piece, In some ways is the sequel of Digital Tech Pulse.

18) Partying In Light City
Imagine a club, in a beautiful City Of Light. Now, dance!

19) Singularity: Apotheosis
A mix between electronica, electric guitar, violins and chorals. We are racing towards singularity/transhumanism. What will happen once we get there? Will we ascend to divinity? Or simply to the next step of our evolution?

20) Like A Boss Fight
This piece was originally composed as a proposal for a boss battle for an indie game project that never got off the ground. It's got electronica beats, hard rock guitars and intense war drums!
I wanted to make a music fitting for a high speed battle (or chase), which at the same time gave a feeling of threat and suspense. In other words, I wanted to keep the player both on edge and pumped up for battle at the same time.
To have him/her feel... LIKE A BOSS!

21) Like A Boss Fight (Beating The Rock Remix)
This remix adds electronic dance beats, hi-hats, as well as more and different guitars. Enjoy!

22) No Man's Future
This piece, was a proposal for an indie game project that never got made. It was created for an area of the game, where the player came across and explored the ruins of a desolate, destroyed futuristic city. I wanted the player to feel sad and somber for the tragedy that befell the city, yet at the same time, stand in awe and determination.
I went for a dark, atmospheric, quite dramatic piece, which combines electronic music with touches of ambient, some nice strings, piano and violins.

23) A Mess Of Synths
Here's my first piece for 2013! What exactly is it? Well it's a high energy piece with chiptune, dubstep, synth-pop, techno and trance influences. Yes, all that. Have a listen and let me know what you think of it!

24) Sad Little Pixel
Another little experiment that ended up pretty interesting. I aimed for an electro-step sound, again influenced by chiptune music and aesthetics. I also aimed for a calm, somber, trippy and somewhat melancholy feel. Hope you enjoy it!

25) A Prayer Amidst The Battlefield
Back with some epic orchestral goodness! This time I tried to combine a solemn, serene feel with that of the epic battle atmosphere.

26) Glorified Glitch
Lately I've been playing around with hybrid electronica/dubstep pieces. So I decided to go all in and make some dubstep! And since most dubstep sounds (to me) like music made out of glitches, I made this piece. It's kind of a hymn to glitches.

As for the accompanying video, well, it wasn't made by me. It's called "NES Glitch Compilation" and you can find it here: http://goo.gl/QXLtN
The original video length is about 30 mins. I compressed it to 7 and-a-half minutes and I added some effects.

27) Aston's Theme
A little preview of the work-in-progress soundtrack for an upcoming game project, which is in pre-development stage. The game's name is "Dead-World" and its creator is fellow GAFer legacyzero!
 
I really like the classical stuff. I think that's where you should really focus on developing your talents, if you don't mind my saying.
The synth/trace/ambient stuff didn't do anything for me, but I'm definitely not a fan of that genre of music in general... so I'll just leave it at that :)

On a related note, I heard some music made in FL Studio a few weeks ago and I was freakin' amazed at how realistic is sounded. If you'd have told me it was played by an orchestra, I wouldn't have questioned you for a moment.

Really like the classical stuff as well. Too bad they're not on Spotify so I can put them in my list. Do you do anything with this professionally or for school or something?

Unfortunately, Spotify is not available in my country (Greece) yet.
