7thSense Expert 19

2021 • created for NotITG

about

Over the course of one week, I worked with talented modcharter Tetaes and artist Aura Irving to create a my most celebrated work in the NotITG community to date. As a team, we storyboarded and implemented environments and gimmicks based on fictional characters and settings (without ever showing them directly).

Breathe In Hard 7

2023 • from Grid-M

I was commissioned to create a few charts for a point-and-click rhythm game- something that was vastly different from my previous work in chart design.

  • ability to create engaging motifs to repetitive music

Whiteout Expert 11

2023 • created for StepMania (Tech)

about

Whiteout was created specifically to fill a niche in the 4-panel tech community. I was tasked with finding and charting a song that slowed down in the second half, while still retaining melodic and rhythmic motifs from the faster section. The chart was adopted immediately by the curation team for Rumble in the Prairie and has been met with critical acclaim.

A five-song marathon that totals to over 20 minutes of playtime, The Grind restricts itself to foot movement and direction to engage the player whilst testing their physical stamina in a 4-panel setting.

exemplifies

  • ability to create long-form content with appropriate pacing
  • ability to pattern while restricted to one aspect of charting
  • ability to mix and cut audio creatively
