About Me
My name is Gasim Abdelrahem and I’m a studying composer specializing in Video Game Soundtracks.
Aside from music, I am a hobbyist artist / designer.
My Work
I use FL Studio to create my music, and am familiar with Logic Pro X as well. I write in a variety of styles and genres, including Orchestral, Chiptune, Rock, Jazz, and more. I use the Roland FP-30X as my MIDI keyboard.
Some of my most used VSTs and plugins are Shreddage, Keyscape, Ample Guitars and basses, Serum, and Addictive Drums 2.
Inspirations
Toby Fox
His use of leitmotifs to tie his music and narrative is something that inspires me. Some of my favorite works from him are “Skies Forever Blue,” “Dark Sanctuary,” “The Third Sanctuary,” actually just all of DELTARUNE Chapter 4’s Soundtrack.
Yoko Shimomura
Her work on the Mario & Luigi soundtracks has had a great influence on my childhood and my music. “In The Final” in particular has stuck with me a lot.
Koji Kondo
He’s created arguably the most iconic songs in all of gaming, with simple, yet strong and effective melodies I strive to emulate.
Shady Cicada
I’m a huge fan of his instrumentation and mixing. His music inspired me to release my first song and continue writing music.
