I have posted a new videogame composition and sound design reel!  Many thanks to Wilson Large - creator of Dark Darkness - for the menu animation wizardry!  This video features some of my work on The Age of Decadence - which I am quite fond of - as well as many others (some of which were really hard to track down videos of!).  Enjoy!

After many years in development, "The Age of Decadence" has finally been released!  It has been a true pleasure to compose music for this gem of a game.  A real, old-school, hardcore RPG, this is just the game that the world needs (at least I think so)!  Get it on now Steam!

]]><![CDATA[Bleeding Fingers Contest]]>Sat, 22 Feb 2014 08:15:52 GMThttps://www.ryanestonpaul.com/news/bleeding-fingers-contest    I stumbled across a contest a couple days ago.  Turns out Hans Zimmer composed a brand new theme, and the contestants get to remix/recompose/ deconstruct the theme to their heart's content, with Zimmer and a panel of other industry professionals choosing the best 3 of the bunch.  Fortunately for me, Hans Zimmer is my absolute favorite film composer, and the idea that he might possibly listen to something I worked on is enough to make me scream like a little girl and faint.  Unfortunately for me was the fact that I only had 3 days to complete said "theme reconstruction". 
    And so, 2 and a half sleepless nights later, I give you "The Little Ones, We Marched (and Fell)", my contribution to the contest.  I am still a bit unclear as to how the winners are picked.  It seems as though "Phase One" is decided by Soundcloud "likes", with the survivors (however many they choose to let through - again, its unclear) facing the judges panel on-route to the "Final 3" prize winners.  In other words, if you have a Soundcloud account, you can go to my track, click "Like", and quite possibly make my dreams come true.  Just sayin'.
