Hi, I'm Ian

I'm a Composer by day and a Game Master by night... and day... and literally every waking moment that I'm not working!

I've worked on soundtracks for TV shows, Films, Video Games, and many other projects over the years, but now I'm combining work and pleasure to bring you a continuing series of high quality tracks designed specifically for use at the tabletop, all FREE to use for GMs.

I write music mostly in the Fantasy genre with occasional Science Fiction tracks too, as well as other styles requested to me by my patrons.

If you enjoy my music and would like to see more of it, please consider lending your support. The money will only leave your account when I post new music, and you can set a maximum number of times you're happy to support my creations in a single month. Regardless, you will gain access to ALL posts at your pledge level. The support helps me immensely and will lead to bigger and better things!

Can I use your music in my live streamed ttrpg games?
Yes! I actively encourage you to do so. You only need to credit me and link to my Patreon. If you do use my music, I'd love for you to send me a link so I can watch, it's always great to see the music being used.

Can I use your music in a commercial project?
Not for free, unless it's a ttrpg live stream. However, you can purchase a license to use the music for commercial purposes for a low price. Contact me for more information or if you're unsure.

I'm a bard supporter but know nothing about music, what can I do for my track suggestion?
Not a problem! As long as you give me something to kick off the inspiration, you're good! It can be anything from a story from your game you'd like me to score, or art, movies, books, etc.

What software do you use to write music?
I use Cubase, mostly because I'm familiar with it from many years of use. I also write music on my iPad sometimes using AUM and many other apps. As for sample libraries, that's always changing but my favourites are Orchestral Tools.

Who did the lovely artwork you've used in this post and in the banner image?
That would be Tyler Edlin, whose work you can find here.
