The music for Hard to Starboard! is very video game-inspired. I try to use certain instruments to differentiate it from other projects like Awakening, which uses more strings, and Tautology, which uses lots of saw-wave synths. About half of the tracks are written ahead of time and assigned a spot in the podcast, and the other half are written while I edit the episodes.

Below you can find character themes, ambient town themes, and songs for major events. Please be careful looking here if you aren’t a player of the game and are interested in the story; the songs here are all up to date with our most recent session, which doesn’t match the most recent podcast release!
