Cloud Hop: Advanced Harmonic Theory and Game Scoring

This piece actually started as an experiment in advanced harmony changes. I wanted to see how far I could push the chord progressions on paper before ever sitting down at a keyboard. Below is a look at the original score, including the harmonic breakdown and chord analysis relative to the key:

The wild part is that until the piece was finished, I hadn’t even heard it myself—it existed entirely on paper. Only once it was complete did I decide to bring it into the digital world and turn it into a game soundtrack. To this day, it remains one of my personal favorite compositions for music for games.

Enjoy the results of the experiment below!
