Hear me in some cool games!

The guys at Shovelware Studios usually call me up for some custom music in their Roblox obbies.

For Shrunken School Obby, they had a hard time finding a good Electro Swing track for the villain, Baron Von Bootleg.

You can tell that both parties were satisfied with the results!

Super Slime Simulator taught me considerations of dynamic cross fading music. In game, layers of the stage music turn on/off depending on the growth of the slime.

Some tracks are triggered via proximity to certain objects. Creating music around so many layers was challenging but very fun!

An RPG inspired by Undertale and the Mario & Luigi series.

Jison Labs was looking for a lead composer to cover most of the game’s music.

Before I joined, the game was in need of a consistent “sound”.

Through Musical Identity, we worked together to create a unique soundtrack through colorful chords and accordions!

Take a listen for yourself!

FusionFall was a platforming MMORPG bringing together various IPs from the Cartoon Network universe. FusionFall Legacy/Retro was a fan-made recreation of the original by most members of Shovelware Studios.

The team felt that the original music was too monotoned and wanted diversity among the overall soundtrack while maintaining the original feel.

I helped out the project by spicing up old tunes while adding, enhancing, and transforming the original sound of the game.

Various references from corresponding Cartoon Network shows were added to most of the soundtrack.

People I’ve worked with!

"Jesus man you did not hold back! Thank you so much, it’s absolutely incredible. I love the little changes you made to the melody and the synths going mad in the background adds a lot as well."

"You’ve kept the overall feel in each track, so you’ve nailed the game’s sound footprint I’d say."

"oooh, this is awesome! yeah somethin; jazzy towards the end really ties the whole thing together. this is great! knew I could count on you to deliver! :P"

"You absolutely like nailed the mood I was after though, it’s very fun and whimsical"

"I knew I had picked the right man for the job! lol. That’s so close to the vibe of the original without going into copyright-danger-territory that I honestly can’t think of anything that could be improved."

"Yooooooooo you absolutely crushed it! Definitely one of your best works and my personal fav so far. I can’t thank you enough."

"it’s sooooooo good! It’s literally exactly what I was expecting."

The Man behind the Pan

Just another gamer with a background in game music composition. Name’s Don Wakefield and I love game music!

My style ranges from orchestral, jazz, and rock (with a few styles in between). This was developed from my Mario Kart series and FusionFall Legacy which were the projects that put me on the YouTube map.

I’m a fan of what I call Musical Identity, to which I define as the elements in each individual track that creates cohesion in a game soundtrack. I try to incorporate that into every game I work on.

Music inspiration for some of my softer genres comes from Final Fantasy XIII, Genshin Impact, and the Zelda series. Heavier stuff comes from Sonic series, Kirby, and Persona.
