The Music Of David Orr

I’ve just finished writing the music for Josiah Brooks’ (JAZZA) latest flash game based on his hit cartoon series, Larry. I’ve written about 10 minutes of music total for the game, which was released today. If you’re not familiar with Larry, don’t worry – it doesn’t require any knowledge to have a great experience. Just load the game and start fighting. Click here to start playing!

Below is a sampling of the music you’ll hear in the game. You can visit Newgrounds.com to download it. While you’re there, don’t forget to vote for it !

If you like what you hear, you can pre-order the game soundtrack, set to be released early July. It’ll lengthen out all of the pieces in the sample above, plus additional music (for a total of 11 full-length tracks). It’s a great way to show support and get some music in return!

Hi Everyone! This is the first of a couple of updates I’ll be making in a couple of days- I have a lot of new music and updates for the site!

First off, I’d like to show you a short piece I wrote for Melissa Lee, an animation student. She’s working on an animation based on animals found in old world China, which is looking great. I got to test out some sounds I’ve recently purchased from East West (QL Ra), which has ethnic instruments from many regions around the world. I think it turned out really well – it has a different sound that some of my other work, but I think it still has that flavor people look for in my music. Let me know what you think!

P.S- An update to The Dev Center is coming shortly – more on that soon!

Hi everyone! This is a short piece I wrote about a month ago with the game BattleBlock from TheBehemoth in mind. You’ll hear a lot of bounce in this one, but it has some serious moments as well. I looked at a lot of the gameplay videos and put my impression of the game to music. I may write a few more since it’s looking like it’ll be a lot of fun to play! I hope you like it- I read all comments and they’re greatly appreciated!

If you have a second, I’d greatly appreciate your vote for it on Newgrounds. You can also loop it there as well, if you’d like to hear what the loop sounds like in action!

This has been anticipated for a while by people (sorry to keep you waiting!) I had a tough time deciding how I wanted to release the track. At first I thought I’d release it on a compilation album of music I’ve written to popular games. But, I ultimately decided against that (it didn’t feel right to me), and here we are.

So, I decided instead to upload a 116kbps (decent quality) version of the full piece on Newgrounds for everyone to hear and enjoy. If you like it, you can opt to purchase a much higher quality (320 kpbs) version on the website store. If you have a nice sound system you will hear a difference in sound quality between the two. Plus, it’s a great way to help support my music and maintaining my site!

Comments are always welcome, I’ll do my best to respond. I hope you enjoy it! If you don’t want to visit Newgrounds, you can listen to it here:

I’ve been contemplating a fresh layout for the site for a while now, and I’ve finally decided to do it. The previous layout was approaching 4 years old, and I think a change of layout corresponds well to the change of decade (happy 2010!)

Along with the redesign, I’m busily working on an online store where you can purchase exclusive Mp3’s, including the full version of Four Brave Champions (Castle Crashers Theme) and Heroic Confrontation (Sonny). Plans for commercial licensing are also on the table. Stay tuned!

I’ll be releasing a full-length track created from a lot of the music from Colony, including some fresh material. I’ve used the capitalist theme in this track (each faction has it’s own theme), which you’ll hear developed through out.

I’ve been meaning to post more previews on my site, so I’ll start the tradition with this post. Enjoy!
