Hi there!
Some of you may know me if you have been loitering around the chip music scene for the last few years - but as most of you won't I'll do a little introduction!
My name is Nathan, and I go by Derris-Kharlan online. I am a music composer based in Melbourne, Australia with a degree in composition and a ton of game soundtracks under my belt. I'm mostly known for my chip music work, and have played numerous shows/festivals around Australia and the United States. However, I write in a range of styles and can pretty much pick up a style/genre/aesthetic just by listening to it. Essentially what I can offer you is extremely high quality, interesting music, very short turnover, really reasonable rates, genuine enthusiasm and the ability to take your game's audio from mediocre to awesome! Find a varied list of example tracks below.

Little TIGShoutout, I am also doing the music for
Dungeon Dashers. This is a link to the thread here on TIGsource.
I did the sound and music for a sweet little game called
They Love You which won Best Design and was nominated for Best Audio at Freeplay 2012.
I have WAY MORE. So if you have a request for a certain style let me know and I will post something I have done in that style if I have. Don't want to saturate this first post too much though.
So please- hire a dedicated musician to do your sound and music. You wont be disappointed!
