Varian Wrynn is a character who invites storytelling through music. A father longing to guide his son, and a king searching for the strength to lead his people against an ancient threat. His story carries a tension between the fear of leaving his son behind and the courage required to protect Azeroth.
In this rescore of the World of Warcraft: Legion cinematic, I sought to capture that emotional duality—both the will to live and the resolve to sacrifice for a greater cause—as Varian confronts the forces of the Burning Legion.
At the same time, this piece is an exploration of my own musical voice within the legacy shaped by composers such as Jason Hayes, Derek Duke, and Glenn Stafford.

ALtra makina
Encounter Soundtrack
Altra Makina is a 3D Shoot-em up game Currently in development by developer, Volkan (reddit user u/vkucukemre), who was kind enough to let me publish these score concepts. The first concept, was influenced by the Aesthetics of Square Enix and inspired by the works of Nobuo Uematsu , as well as Hiroyuki Sawano.
Environmental - Combat
The second score concept was inspired by works of composer Bear McCreary with an approach more driven towards establishing a sense of atmosphere and a relation to visuals, and evolving as the event and battle sequences progress.
