Friends,


I'm sharing my background music resources for free use, including commercial use. There's no need to ask for my permission to use these, but please include me in your projects' credits with my full name, Aaron Krogh.

Wow, it's too many to hear one by one.

I just played Pre-Boss battle.

In my opinion, it can also use in shooting game in a stage before boss.

Nice Atmospheric background music.

Btw, I'll listen them all later :D

I had a request for a water-themed battle loop, so I mashed up a few of my old songs and added some nice icy synth sounds.

294 - Leviathan (Battle Loop, OGG)

Preview & Download

A mash-up of two battle themes and the coastal town theme.

Here's another battle loop. This track was a pain to write... setbacks galore. I built this one from the ground up:

295 - Insidia (Battle, Loop, OGG)

Preview & Download

Insidia - Greek Goddess of Treachery. A battle loop that was written with a thief character in mind. I can't seem to picture monsters when I listen to it.

Wow...such a great tool. The default songs on Ace aren't bad, but they are very limited. Yours will help a lot!

I just saw someone's post that had an instagram link. I have yet to be able to open that site up once, ever, or have an embed of it work (it just straight up won't show either of them). And I haven't really found a reason to try to fix the problem, either XD
I want to go play piano now. This is gonna be my stopping point today (yes, I’m very slow at drafting). Might have a few too many curly Qs? Obviously gotta finish the limbs and clean up. There are a few more outfit details I need to add. Probably going to do a background so that the pose makes sense, LOL.

Do you believe me now?

BTW not my insta, not my post. Different John.
It's been long time since last I'm tinkering with RPG Maker ~
