Happy Spooky Season! ‘Tis the time for creepy Scriptnotes outros!

A while back, I wrote this track for an indie tabletop gaming company. It was dark, grim, and gothic. Coming back to it a year later, it still makes me smile in a chilly, October kind of way…

It’s funny how much I enjoy designing a little bit of “album artwork” for a song like this. An old typewriter, some glowing text, and a 16mm grain overlay! Instant creepiness. #SoundCloud soundcloud.com/matthew-chilel…

I wrote the music for this Star Wars Lego film. One guy did all this stop motion, and he animated mostly on ones! It's got a cute story, some great stop motion (and some decent music). If you want a smile, check out this little Star Wars short... youtu.be/rDYGT7Ucpag

My original soundtrack for the award-winning short, "Ball and Vase" is coming out soon. If you'd like to hear some relaxing jazz, nostalgic piano, and eerie strings, you can pre-save it here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/ma…

Super specific question, but does anyone have a recommendation for a low-friction mouse pad with wrist support? I love the shape/support of this one, but the fabric it’s made of creates so much drag…

Two good friends of mine had their first big screening of their debut feature doc and it went so, so well! I’m proud of them, and proud to play a small part in helping to tell this story through music. I hope you all get to see “Odyssey” soon…

If you’re going to PAX West in Seattle, check this game out. I wrote some music for Bang-on Balls, and it’s such a fun and silly joy to play! #PAXWest2023 #indiegame #bangonballs

Another scene from Bang-on Balls, and another clip of my score for the Japan level of this crazy game. Really looking forward to playing this on consoles October 5th!

WE DID IT! 🥳🥳🥳 Bang On Balls: Chronicles rolls out of Early Access and into full release on Steam and consoles! Your feedback and support have been invaluable, thank you for being a huge part of our journey, let's enjoy this adventure together! #bangonballs #indiegames #steam

Today’s Scriptnotes episode features this spooky outro. In addition to a bunch of aggressive vocals and double bass growls, I also played the Scriptnotes theme using an octatonic scale. Check it out on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/SX4c5XJYYWkKyn…

The amazing documentary my friends created (and for which I composed the music) is playing at THE Chinese Theater in Hollywood this Sunday. It follows a plucky team of kids as they compete/participate in Odyssey of the Mind, and it will make you feel happy, sad, and hopeful.

A while back, I wrote this theme song to help promote an indie graphic novel called Charon 13. It's a Sci-Fi/Spy story, so the references covered things like Mission Impossible, Terminator, James Bond, and a host of other action-y cues. Enjoy this crazy Spy-Fi track...

For this most recent Scriptnotes podcast, I wrote an outro in the style of John Williams' Olympic Fanfare. It's always an interesting challenge trying to get the five notes of the Scriptnotes theme (C, E, D, B, C) to fit into pre-existing songs, but I have it my best shot!

When I heard Drew do his “LinkedIn Voice” for this week’s Scriptnotes, I asked myself one question…

When writing the music for Bang-on Balls: Chronicles’ Japan maps, I got to write this wacky, piece that incorporated instruments that don’t normally go together… I think it all ended up working in the end. What do you think?

So excited! One of the updates I composed music for is available on Nintendo Switch! If you enjoy a game with bouncy mayhem and crazy music, check it out!

Just finished mixing this 90s-inspired track I wrote for the Japan level in Bang-on Balls: Chronicles! Mixed shamisen, taiko, piano, and retro drums for that 90s feel. Check it out and let me know what you think! #gamemusic #composer #BangOnBalls
