Up until this year, most of what I've
composed has been for solo guitar. Once I began writing the Star
Legation visual novel, I realized how many of my existing guitar
compositions would be a good fit for a sci-fi atmosphere. I tend to
prefer somewhat eerie, minor pieces of music and my compositions
actually matched a number of scenes really well. The only concern I
had was the instrumentation. Solo guitar didn't exactly fit for the
kind of atmosphere I wanted to set, so I looked into getting a
Digital Audio Workstation (DAW.) I tried out a lot of different
DAW's, but finally settled on one I liked that enabled me to port in
my .midi compositions directly. Once I had the composition imported,
I began playing around with instrumentation, using a lot of
synthesized sound to produce the sci-fi feel I was looking for. As I
became comfortable with the process, I also began to write more
compositions to import, specifically for the game...
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
