Sean Beeson Composer

I make music, and I use technology. Everyday I use those two things to create music for games, films, trailers, and anything else I can score!

Me, the wife, and Felix! I always look that cool. Apparently I could also work at a movie theater with that vest!

Empires Apart Announced!

Recently I had the opportunity to provide some music for this awesome game that is in development! It is designed for fans of RTS games and has a very appealing an unique art style!

The music in the video is just a small taste of the fun score I got to compose for the game. While the soundtrack is not complete, I am looking forward to hopefully working on the rest of the score!

Website Facelift!

I got new pictures and headshots as well as some new music (which will be coming soon!), so I decided to update my website a bit.

TO THE WEBSITE!

I rarely do updates as frequently now because of work and family, so I have switched to a more static website layout.

Demise of Nations: Rome

A game I scored has been released! It is a fantastic and deep strategy game called Demise of Nations: Rome. It was a blast to work on and is the third collaboration I have had with Noble Master.

WAR

The game trailer was created by Lunar Animation with sound design by Adam Block of Craft Media Group, and Music by Sean Beeson!

It isn’t a real game trailer, but a spec trailer created by Lunar to show their capabilities. If it was a game, I would definitely be playing it!

El Quetzal de Jade on Amazon Prime!

A film I scored (produced by Dastoli Digital) has been released for streaming on Amazon Prime! The score has a bit of a noir-ish vibe to it, but really captures the sound of film scores from when I was growing up in the 80s. Check out the trailer below.

Here is a link to Amazon Prime

The murder of a rich man leads a private detective to Guatemala, where a seductive femme fatale pulls him into a tangled web of intrigue surrounding the  theft of a rare Mayan artifact.

El Quetzal de Jade is a throwback to the great noir films of the mid twentieth century, while also incorporating modern action set pieces. The bulk of the film takes place in Guatemala, showcasing the country’s busy marketplaces and towns, while also focusing on the beauty of the region’s natural wonders. The plot also takes the characters across North America to the old world majesty within the walled city of Quebec, before concluding under the neon glow of Chinatown in Los Angeles.

Although it has been three years since I scored this video along with Dan Rogers, it feels just like it was yesterday!

Was a blast to score, and looking forward to doing more of this in the future.

"Killing Me Softly" Score

I recently completed the score for Linh Ngo's short film, "Killing Me Softly". Cole Jenkins (colejenkinsmusic.com) and I teamed up to score the short.

It was a fun score to compose, as Linh gave us complete creative freedom. So I crafted a haunting, yet lyrical and mysterious score featuring light strings, eerie voices, and simple oboe melodies carefully crafted around deep electronic tones! Below is a preview.

The film will be hitting the short film circuit in the near future, and hopefully Youtube thereafter.

I will post it when it is up.

I recently sat down with the editor of the gaming news website Toggle Crouch, where he picked my brain about games, music, and my career.

It is a shorter interview, but gives a very good picture of what I do and what my favorite parts of being a game composer are.
