It's been a while friends, here I have to present with you an original song composed by me. It was created to suit a specific scene in our DnD Humblewood campaign, as two individuals finally get to have a heart to heart conversation... as they see each other as equals.
One could say that the tone of this song could be romantic, but I'd say it also has this mellow sort of a feeling. If you're enough of a smart cookie, you can tell this has drakenier (Nier and Drakengard) vibes, in which in that case, you're on the money! The lyrics are mostly gibberish but if you wish to make up the lyrics, feel free to do so!
There is however an english version sung made by my friend PocketyHat who also made this gorgeous piece of art as the thumbnail as well as the english lyrics in their own version, please go check it out and give them the love they deserve!
If there is enough interest, I can create a karaoke instrumental version for all of you singers out there! I'm on the meantime cooking what could possibly the third and last entry of my humblewood album, so look forward to that!

The third and final volume of this entry based on the last adventures of The Mapletrees' and the 'Others'. These are the last tracks created for the campaign the composer has been involved through the span of 4 years, and this year might be the conclusion of it all. But in case you didn't catch the first and second volume, this is based on a private DnD campaign revolved around the fabled world and setting of Humblewood. The characters from left to right in this volume are:
Vanilla, Captain Kastella, Tekko, Allan, Deltavora, Joy Jollycrest and Pietro Rosepren.

F.A.Q.:
1) So what's this? Original music I did for our private DnD campaign with some friends, eventually I did so many tracks I decided to release it in a neat album!
2) What programs did you used? FlStudio 20 with Kontakt libraries such as Spitfire, Orchestral Tools, Best Service and Cinesamples were used to make all the music you hear. Synthesizer voice software like SynthV.
3) Can I use your music? Depends of the kind of project and if it's being used for profited use, for further information contact me at pennoinkz@gmail.com. In cases like livestreams (Twitch / YT DnD streams, you are free to use it as long as I'm credited in some way or form as "Pennoink".
Written as "Acknowledgement Tango" in english. I liked the composition I did for the "Song of Acknowledgement" so much, (which I'll post the link below) that I wanted to flex some of my love for tango. That's about it, let me know if you'd like to hear more of that genre, wouldn't mind doing more in the future.
As for the presentation of this video, I think I'll stick to this format for now, I have so many projects I've done without showing in my youtube channel and the main reason for that is simple: excruciating video editing just to post my music makes me wanna cry. Maybe I'll get better as I go on but for now, I want to post more here into this channel, so expect to see more of this more frequently!
Oh and one last thing.... a new album is on the works... a third volume that is! More details soon, but... if you know, you know!Puss In Boots: Deaths Theme | DARK SOULS VERSIONPennoink2023-02-01 | You decide to end Death itself, the outcome of this battle will be a bitter one regardless...

And second part of this series is finally here! But in case you didn't catch the first volume, this is based on a private DnD campaign revolved around the fabled world and setting of Humblewood.
This second volume touches upon "The Others"', a group of mercenaries led by the infamous ambassador of the Crystal Voyager, Akira Poirot. Together, they will be tasked to ignite the flames of revolution through questionable means that will conflict between the members of this party. Definitely took a more "mature" route compared to volume I in the music, to reflect the danger and tragedy that has surrounded these characters.
The party members from left to right in this volume are:
1) So what's this? Original music I did for our private DnD campaign with some friends, eventually I did so many tracks I decided to release it in a neat album!

I am proud to announce my first concept album soundtrack (and probably debut) based on a private DnD campaign revolved around the fabled world and setting of Humblewood.
The first volume touches upon the Mapletrees', a guild in which a group of young adventures are tasked to restore order into the "Great Rhythm".

4) So it says "Volume 1" on title. Does that mean there's a "Volume 2"? Precisely! But I'm still making tracks for that album as we speak, until I've met a decent quota of 20 tracks at least, I'd estimate in 2 - 3 months Volume 2 will be ready to see the light! And who knows... there might even be a "song" on the works as well!
Thank you for your support and see you with more original content!

Happy Holidays/ Merry Christmas to all!!!
A cover of one of my favorite and truly UNDERRATED Japanese composers, Tomoyuki Asakawa, his most popular works include The Five Star Stories and The Candidate For Goddess. His work screams golden age orchestral music from the 50's and it comes so naturally, it's a shame he hasn't gotten any composing duties lately, though he's still out there performing harp for other people's soundtracks and arranging every once in a while.
I did this cover 2 years back, and since I haven't post anything for a while, decided a lil present for all of you lovely followers out there. This year has been rough for all of us, in terms of music however, I don't think I've ever been on a roll in productivity like this year, it might not look in the channel, but do not fret, I've been cooking a little project where I have composed over +30 tracks thus far, so keep your ear peeled for the next year!
For now, enjoy!Umineko When They Cry - Black Lilliana (Orchestral Cover)Pennoink2020-10-07 | Cover I finally decided to finish just for the month of spooks.

Glorious Art by PocketyHat, follow them at twitter.com/PocketyHat (They are also the one plays Akira Poirot in this campaign)
A piece I made inspired by the latest events transpired in the Humblewood side campaign, the one I did for the theme called "Gunpowder Perfume".
Our party of mercenaries led by the mischievous Akira Poirot (the one white fox sitting on the upper left deck seen in this image) had finally returned safe to her "dearest" captain's ship, the infamous and fearsome, Crystal Voyager. Akira is the ambassador of this ship.
The captain, B. Kastella (the elruan/ purple cat on the left), whose emotionless words and incredibly ominous aura, joined by her devilish friendly first mate on the right, Deltavora (corvum/ purple crow with pink dress and bowties) with the rest of her fancy looking crew of pirates and butlers, greet the party politely at their arrival. Starting to tap into each of the party members desires to see if they decide to join or not this mysterious ship ...
Who will stay?
Who will leave?
We shall see as things progress for each of our characters.
I created this theme with the intent to give an energy of dangerous playfulness, this is a pirate crew after all, and you don't wanna mess with a pirate crew now, do you? Since Akira is a bard, my headcanon is that she is the one humming while also providing the accordion sections, giving this vibe I described prior. Meanwhile the organ sections with unsettling pads go more into Kastella's character, while also adding this soft sad oboe that might represent the tragic aspect of being part of a crew that we might not know yet. The end result has to be one of the most satisfying pieces from start to finish in a while, so I can confidently call this a success.
Until next original track or cover matey, yaaaaaaar!
Also I've been making LOADS of music for our Humblewood campaign, so once we have oficially finished playing them, I shall make an official release of the soundtrack in a pay what you want fashion so you can use the music for your own future campaigns if you'd like!... or if you just like to support me cause you like my music that's neat too -twiddles fingers and stares at the floor red-Humblewood - The Mapletrees Theme (Dungeons and Dragons Original Theme)Pennoink2020-07-18 | READ DESCRIPTION FOR CONTEXT THANK YOU
Once again, I commissioned both of my incredible friends to make this even happen and the results are just amazing:
Sketches, post production, special effects and editing by PhilipFGA (also he's our DM for this campaign)
An original theme I created based on the current party of our main Humblewood campaign. Think of a magical "into the woods" fairy tale setting with anthropomorphic sentient real sized animals that interact in the same way a regular DnD setting would but with it's own flair.
The party is part of a guild name called "The Mapletrees", as they travel forth to bring balance as pacifically as possible to any sort of conflict they have confronted thus far.
When creating the theme song, I thought of something that could resemble sort of a "storybook" or "once upon a time" sort of beginning that evolves into an action yet hopeful progression compared to what I did with "Gunpowder Perfume" which is the opposite of this.
Anyways, I'm in the mood of posting more original stuff, and planning to actually release a soundtrack based on this campaign I've been working on, so enjoy!Memories of a Ballroom Waltz (Original Orchestral)Pennoink2020-05-23 | A piece I did two years ago, decided to finish it out of nowhere.
Original idea was imagining a piece for an empty ballroom were specters suddenly start dancing in spoopy 3/4's and it concludes with them finally seeking peace for their souls. That's all I've got.
So, I started a while ago getting into the strange curious world of Dungeons & Dragons, for about a couple of years already. Multiple campaigns later led to a new setting called Humblewood. Think of a magical "into the woods" fairy tale setting with anthropomorphic sentient real sized animals that interact in the same way a regular DnD setting would but with it's own flair.
Regardless, in this campaign, with our Dungeon Master being the artist himself, we had two sides of a story. One was the main one and the other is a side story which events ended up affecting the main one. This theme is for the side story, maybe I'll also post one day the theme I did for the main one here.
The party members from left to right are:
Akira, the clever cold white vulpin pirate Bard (Fox). She is the leader of this group of mercenaries that she hired.
Arch, the cannibalistic wildlife raptor Warlock (Raptor).
Flint, who I play, the nerdy nervous mapach Gunslinger (Raccoon).
Cinder, the kind and soft spoken jerbeen Sorceress (Bunny).
Aodh, the amnesiac absent minded vulpin Rogue (Fox).
After two sessions from what was supposed to be a one-shot, made me reflect about how conflicting and chaotic these mix of alignments were for a party like this one, and yet they managed to pull out the insane mission of starting a revolution that will affect the main campaign of ours. If anything, this group might be seen as the villains for the main story due to the opposite alignments one party share to the other.
So I really wanted to make a piece that could capture the themes of corruption but not make it entirely sorrowful, more like, a "noir" heist theme if you catch my drift. And so, after several attempts, I ended up with a mix of tango stirred up with some of that sweet jazz percussion. And then I needed a title that could could match the bombastically elegant music for it, and what a better name than perfume spraying some of that good ol' gunpowder at your face. Poetic and killer at the same time, awww yeah.
Thus you can really see why I choose to commission a Cowboy Bebop style for this pic, which I loved to death, I've got some great friends with some pretty sweet art man, you should definitely commission them.
And here we are, original music that I'm actually kinda proud of, not much into the mixing, as usual, but there was some strong composing game going on here. I hope you guys don't mind of me posting some more DnD inspired music in the near future. But I am also mindful of the other kinds of music that you guys wanna hear and don't worry, those won't be going anywhere at all.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy and before anyone asks, for the very first time: no, you don't have permission to use this track as you please for any purpose because it's a pretty personal project to me. Thank you for understanding! (COVERS/ARRANGEMENTS of this track are fine!).
It's been another instance of me poofing away due to life circumstances, but since we've been hit with even HARDER times, might as well do something with all this staying at home am I right?
So, this is technically my first animal crossing game and I love it, in the same way I loved Stardew Valley, and the music captivated me to make yet another suite in a similar fashion to the Stardew Valley one.Road of Mindfulness (Original)Pennoink2019-05-23 | Healing can take time and the road can be longer for others, it's okay... take your time, be mindful of the wonderful self discovery journey that awaits you!... at your own pace of course!
Not much to say other than I freaking love the finale ending song of the lastest season of RWBY.
RWBY music in general always have tickled me in the right spots in terms of my preferences of chords, so I decided to give it a go with Nevermore. The result was... decent, I could've used a little more variation between transitions and tempo changes, but alas, this song was already long enough for me to add even more! Anyhow, I hope you enjoy and see you when I've gained my confidence enough to get back with orchestral music.Pokemon Lets Go Pikachu & Eevee - Lavender Town Scene (Musical Recreation)Pennoink2018-11-26 | Videogame footage by Zephiel810

Despite it all, I really find it a pretty fun genre to tackle on, I have not been in any game project yet, and it's understandable why, but I've been getting into the hang on how to make tracks more "loopable" (if that's even a word to begin with...) Some notes about this:
-The mixing/mastering process and sound quality can vary as I've been trying different approaches of it, ranging back in 2013 until today.
-This is just one type of music for this portfolio, there will be more in the next incoming days.
-My video editing skills are very rudimentary, I know, but I was more interested in showing the music I've done so far and I was in sort of a hurry
I've been wanting to do this for a while now, as newcomers of my channel will believe that all my works have only been posted on YouTube, which is not entirely true.
