I cannot BELIEVE I almost forgot to post this to my tumblr–Hi everybody!! I have some really fantastic news to share with you all: My two latest albums are OUT NOW!!! Starlight Bouquet and Fallen Star Landing: Both the products of years of work, finally brought to life. It would mean the world to me if you checked them out! You can find them just about anywhere you can listen to music: Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music, Bandcamp, Pandora, everywhere! Links to Spotify will be in the next reblog so tumblr doesn’t hide this post~ And I’ll also post a few tracks from them up here, so you can catch them here too! And of course, credit where credit is due! The gorgeous album art for these two was done by @chromaticafe, and they truly are beautiful! I’m also honored to be able to feature Jacob Williamson (@RealASTROCAKE) as the main vocalist on Hymn of Solitude. His voice is incredible! The violin performance on Swimming in Darkness was done by Natalia from Airgigs. And the guitars were performed by my father. Aren’t they amazing? Thank you all for helping to bring my album to the next level! YAAAAAY SERIOUSLY I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Do you have a link your soundcloud or is it already on the desktop version?

I thought it was in my bio, but just in case it’s not, here you go!

https://soundcloud.com/tezabelmondmusic

I haven’t posted on there as frequently as I do here, but I’m trying to change that. /o/

[tezabelmondmusic]

Have you ever thought about uploading some of your original songs to YouTube or soundcloud?

I actually already do have some on Soundcloud! And I’ve thought about it a lot on the YT side, just haven’t acted on it... I guess by this point I probably oughta since tumblr’s base is dwindling and I’m composing more frequently again, haha. I’ll make a post when I do! Rn, still working on stuff for the new album /o/

I’ll only be opening four slots for this--so act now and get your deal before someone else does! What kind of commissions will I take, you ask? I pride myself on being pretty flexible as a musician, so while some of my specialties are ambient, upbeat, and background music, I’m willing to attempt any musical style if you’re willing to give me a shot! A cheery, over-the-top anime-style opening? A spirited, dark waltz? A funky-yet-western theme for a cool cowboy? All real examples of things outside my usual zone that I can and have done! Take a listen to the sampler above, and check out this example list of things you can commission me for:

A song for your film or animation project

Theme songs for your original characters and stories

Theme songs for your fan characters or fan works

Background music for your D&D game or podcast

Rearranging or updating a song that YOU wrong (and you don’t even need a midi!)

A song for you and your significant other <3

Literally anything else you can think of that needs music! (like this turtle)

Are you interested? Contact me via the contact form on my website! Tumblr doesn’t play nice with external links, so if that one doesn’t work, you can find a link to my website in my blog’s sidebar (including on mobile, woo!)

Open slots: 4/4

Thanks for reading, and please signal boost!

The journey to becoming a hero is never an easy one... But it’s never too late to change.

Another soundtrack to accompany a D&D scene! Two characters spoke frankly in the dark of what it means to be a hero, and how rise above your past to become one.

In this piece, things start as simply, as the scene did. After an early moment of trepidation, Estrella finds the confidence to share her difficult past. The melody of her theme speaks at 0:25 as she shares her story: That she was once enslaved, how she has killed, and how she wants to be a hero. 0:45; She’s questioned by the old, grizzled hero, asked what she’ll say if someone comes looking for retribution, or seeking to recapture her... Gremm is blunt and pulls no punches in the conversation. He believes she’s running only on anger, and asks what will be left when that’s gone. When those old grudges are settled, will Estrella even WANT to be a hero anymore? 

1:03, she flares up in response. She’ll tear down the ones who enslaved her, and when that’s done, she’ll still be a hero. Her determination is backed, distantly, by the quiet but supportive theme of a friend. Finally, 1:41; her rage combines with her theme. Her anger will be part of her legacy, a thing she will always accept rather than shrug away. She centers herself as she and the old hero find mutual, grudging respect for one another.

The character Estrella belongs to @1980sspaceman. Guitars performed by Richard Belmond.

Descending and swirling into the endless void, I close my eyes and try to separate the sounds of the souls.

Trying something a little experimental here. I wanted to write the soundtrack that would accompany a scene from the D&D campaign I play in. The short version is: My character was trying to find one specific person in an endless void of darkness and souls. He dove in deep and tried to let go of all of himself to do it--momentarily joining the collective and losing his sense of identity--until, just in time, he found who he was looking for.

I stacked a lot of different instruments on top of each other, each playing their own unique melodies, to try and catch the feeling of countless, indistinct souls flowing all around each other as one dives deeper into the sea. Around 0:35, my character’s melody plays, but at 0:47, it disentigrates into an off-rhythm line without clear melody and becomes part of the darkness for a verse. 1:01 finds him in complete darkness, unidentifiable from the other sounds. He returns from 1:15 onward, with a far shorter verse, but fewer sounds interrupting as he falls deeper... at 1:29, an echo of his melody appears on a different instrument, not him--and finally, at 1:35, a single sound, a single soul, is identified on a chime that was hidden through the background of the entire piece.

A draft that I haven’t been able to finish, but that I’ve really liked the motion of.

Ancient houses, acrylic paints, and noble pursuits. Just a little something I threw together for fun based on an OC of mine!

Here’s a commission for @sakura-rose12, who asked for a theme for her OC, Charo! I had such a great time working on this one - thank you again for commissioning me, Hayley!

Okay, hear me out: It’s the midpoint of the story. Main character is already in a crazy new fantasy world - but whatever the bad force is is getting worse, somebody just died/got captured, seemingly forever. But the hero and the gang of people with him all commit to going and getting shit fixed, and this is the music that plays as they’re all packing up and setting out...

And that’s the Mood for this song! B)

Hello everyone, and a belated happy new year to you all! /o/ This iiiiis something of a variation on the theme for my D&D character, Rahmi, but it’s also me playing around a bit. I wanted to see how I could re-interpret it in a more orchestral manner, and I think it came out okay! Most of all, though, I want to try and post more on this blog again, so I think I’m going to be sharing even the things I make that are just doodles like this. I hope you like it nonetheless!

Also, some of you may not have heard, so I wanted to briefly mention - I’ve hit a bit of a hurdle in that my hard drive was damaged in transit and no longer functions, so I’ve lost all of my old and in-progress work. I’m going to try and keep moving forward and not let it get me down, but if you wanna help at all you can buy me a coffee or buy my album on bandcamp! No pressure though. <3

I think I’m gonna organize my music tags a little better! I’ll probably have tags for like, character themes versus background music or ambient stuff...if anyone has any suggestions, let me know!
