My name is Eric Gilliland and I am a professional composer and sound designer.  I have worked with dozens of companies on projects to include mobile games, Flash-based games, video soundtracks and scores, and software sound effects.  I have been composing for over a decade and love to create rich and dynamic music.

 

My love for music began in the early 90's with the appearance of Super Nintendo and the brilliant games it offered.  But as technology advanced so did the nature of music in the world of gaming and very quickly video games outgrew the 8-bit sounds we retro kids know and love and transformed into symphonic compositions comparable to film scores.  It was with the app marketplaces for Android and iPhone and Facebook's array of browser-based gameplay that composers now have a chance to get in on the 8-bit/classic game action that they missed out on as youngsters.  I am honored to be one such composer who is able to bring the addictively fun sounds of classic games back to gamers.

 

However, don't be deceived into thinking I am some vintage Atari-playing twenty-something year old who can't drag himself into this decade.  I am also a professional musician.  I have composed orchestral arrangements and jazz head sheets.  I have scored live theatrical performances.  I have even brought live guitar and vocals to my music to extend my offerings from simply addictive video game background music to much more.  I am backed by years of knowledge and experience creating and performing in every style of music that exists.  From classical to hip-hop, from world to roots rock, I am truly versed in everything.

 

Whether you're here in search of a composer for your next hit game or just out to listen to some good tunes, I certainly hope you find yourself at home and enjoy your visit.

 

Sincerely,
