FEATURED PROJECTS
Here are some featured projects that I have worked on.

You can see the project details of albums and soundtracks, as well as any other side project that features me as a singer and/or as a composer. I will also add my guest appearances and stuff to this page later on, when I get the permissions from project owners. For project samples, you can check the mp3 player at website's main page.

 

Eden's Rise (Animation Movie)

This is a very interesting project. It is a movie / animation thingy made with a game engine and with a very talented team. What is more important is that the project's aim is to produce funds for cancer foundation (you may have read the post I have at the main page). When they asked me about to be a part of it and shown me what they have achieved, I accepted without a flinch. What more I can ask for? A sci-fi movie with a good cause and a good team! http://www.wix.com/EdensTerminal/EdensTerminal

 

Fear of the Dark (Video Game)

This is still a work in progress game and by the time I was writing this infocard, I was still working on some new tracks. It is a good indie project with some dedicated people working on it. I will try to upload information regarding this game whenever I can. I am awaiting them to post their website and public announcement to put the links here.

 

Battle for Earth (Video Game)

Battle for Earth was a game planned for Wii. The developper asked me to finish several tracks before E3 2010. It was a tiresome yet fun to work on project. However, I have no clue what they are up to now as after E3, I guess the dev team kinda fell into summer relaxing.

 

Illarion (Video Game)

Illarion is an online Free2Play RPG game. I saw the add of the dev team, asking for help and I decided to lend a hand since I was free for a while and was itching to do some work. I wrote a main theme for them and will hopefuly do more at the end of 2010. www.illarion.org

 

Uncyclist (Video Game)

This is a very fun game with puzzle and action elements. It looks very easy but can be very frusturating and addictive at the same time, similar in vein to those oldschool puzzle games that took time to figure out and gave that achievement feeling in the end. It was a fun project and I am eagering to play the retail version.

 

To Hell With Johnny (Video Game)

To Hell With Johnny was a fun arcade game project. The developer needed someone to finalize the music since they had lost their contact with the previous sound guy and still missing some tunes. So, I laid several level music as well as a sequenced intro music. It was a swift and fun experience. Also, the developers are very nice people!! www.michi.nu.

 


Dead Bird Crysis Mod Soundtrack (Video Game)

Dead Bird is a new Crysis mod that I hooked up over Crytek forums with the programers. They asked me to compose several tunes for their projects and I gladly did. From the very beginning, Dead Bird team knew what they wanted to have and it was a challenging process. I am particularly happy with the outcome though. The main theme, Tears of the Sun can be heard over my sample jukebox.

 


Anders Thonander's Korsair - Mechopolis

Anders is a good friend that I've met back in 2001 over Blind Guardian community and since then we were good friends, exchanging ideas about music and so. When he invited me to have a spot on his upcoming theme album, I was very interested and I loved the demos. Well, you can listen to the outcomes now at www.myspace.com/korsairprog . I have a guest appearance on the song called Prototype X, which I also wrote some of the lyrics as well as the vocals thanks to Anders being kind and leaving me space to work on my own ideas.

 


Dreamtone & Iris Mavraki's NEVERLAND - Ophidia

Alright, the new Neverland album - Ophidia - released on 26th of March, 2010 by AFM Records (www.afm-records.com). Since the first Neverland album was a success, this one features a music video for one of the tracks as well. The project again has some very tempting guest names from the metal music scene as well as quality sound. More information will be available when we start announcing things according to the promotional plan. www.neverlandofficial.com



Discovery Freelancer Mod Soundtrack (Video Game)

Well, basicly, I have composed and produced the soundtrack for the upcoming 4.86 mod. You will be hearing battle track and ambient musics of mine whenever you are cruising around the newly added Discovery systems.

 

Future Online Generic Theme (Browser Based Online Game)

Future Online is a browser based MMORPG currently being developed. The team asked me to compose a generic teaser theme and I couldn't say no. Afterall, it is futuristic and a role playing game. What else I can ask for eh? When the project becomes open beta or something, I will post more updates regarding Future Online.

Dreamtone - Unforeseen Reflections

Good old days. This was the first full lenght recording of Dreamtone, featuring 11 songs. It had some really good tunes which received lots of positive reviews. This CD is also when I first started singing. Though I sucked at the time lol. Well, that was years ago hehe...

 


Dreamtone - Pandemonium

First studio production I was a part of. It was a single of an instrumental track called Pandemonium. It received so many attention that we as Dreamtone, decided to continue our journey. So glad that we did...
