I'm writing a symphony with Lyken's theme (see below) as the first movement, and Mildew's theme is planned to be the third movement.
About the audio: This piece was performed in October 2025 by the Sydney University Symphony Orchestra, in which I play the viola!
Some of the background music to my YouTube videos is me improvising on a piano. I've scored up some parts in post, which you can download here. These may be periodically updated as I add more sections.
Below are my three major compositions which have won competitions.
The Phoenix is a piece for a moderate-sized orchestra which won the Willoughby Symphony's Young Composer Award in 2020. It has a dynamic structure going from ominous silence, to rapid turmoil, to soaring triumph, and finally serene stillness. You can read Alan Holley's review here; he gives a far more eloquent summary than I could ever write.
About the audio: This piece was performed in May 2021 by the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra with Sarah Penicka-Smith conducting, alongside music by Alice Chance and Elena Kats-Chernin in an eclectic concert titled Next Chapters. The main feature for the concert was Shostakovich's 9th Symphony with added acrobatics by aerialist group Legs On The Wall, and the entire thing was livestreamed by the Australian Digital Concert Hall. There were so many technical challenges in this concert that I'm amazed it ever got off the ground.
About the audio: This piece was performed by SUMS in September 2019. As you can probably tell, the audio above is an iPhone recording by someone in the audience.
Lykenis the nickname I gave to my Treecko in a Nuzlocke playthrough of Pokemon Emerald. Lyken's Theme stands on its own and doesn't have any major references to that game, however it takes a lot of inspiration from video game music in general, with a catchy melody and rhythmic intensity. It's my favourite piece that I've written, and probably the most representative of my current style of composition. I have plans to extend it to a full symphony-sized work.
About the audio: While a recording of SUSO playing this piece does exist, it has a lot of missing parts. So the audio above is created using the NotePerformer sound library. If you have an orchestra that wants to do a proper recording of this piece, then hit me up!
