"Jungle Kartz"
Nintendo Wii - Brain In A Jar / Nordic Games 2011
http://www.nordicgames.se
A fun, fast paced family racing game set across multiple differently-themed racetracks, from sunny savannahs and sweeping deserts to a skate park inside an active volcano (!). Each track is the home of a cute animal character. For this project, I worked closely with Brain In A Jar's creative director to deliver:
- The complete soundtrack: 8 pieces of background music, each of which reflects the unique vibe of the characters' different tracks, and the Jungle Kartz title theme tune
Jungle Kartz has just been announced at E3! Video and more information coming soon!

"Monsters (Probably) Stole My Princess"
PSP/PS3/Xbox360 Arcade - Mediatonic Ltd 2010
http://monstersprobablystolemyprincess.com
My second project with Mediatonic was working on this quirky, original platform-chase game. I was responsible for delivering "manic, over-the-top" remixed versions of 8 well-known classical music pieces, including Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D minor", and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".
The game music for MPSMP proved so popular after launch that Mediatonic decided to give the soundtrack an independant release on the Official Sony EU Playstation Blog!
