Like most "new music" I post here, this is actually some older work that I'm turning loose on the web. (All of my composition since 2005 has been for Paradise Lost.)World to Conquer is a turn based fantasy strategy game played on hex grid. The game was developed by Northern Bytes Software for the 2003 uDevGames. I scored the game, and you can download the music files here.
Game music is my second (artistic) love after musical theatre, and these are without a doubt my favorite compositions outside of Paradise Lost.
