Hello! I'm Evan.

I'm an amateur composer and orchestrator. I make music for orchestra, chiptune, and orchestral chiptune.

I've been composing for three years and arranging for four. I hope to spend much more of my life in music.

Welcome, and I hope you like what you hear.

I'm in love with @narekpapoyan.com 's soundtrack for the new roguelike deckbuilder, The Royal Writ, so I had to try arranging something from it. I picked my favorite excerpt from the track "Olde Towne" to start.

I adore pieces in Bb minor and Eb minor, so this track made me very happy.

I finished the rough draft of my Prokofiev orchestration! This website has the mockups and very rough versions of the score.

Check it out, and let me know what you think! Thank you!

Here's an arrangement I did of Bydło from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition using the YM2612 synthesizer.

I'm finally finishing my Prokofiev Op. 12 orchestration! I'm also uploading the scores in a more presentable way.

The remaining four movements will come soon.

Enjoy!

Thank you so much! That combo was the idea, so I'm glad you saw it!

Evan Maly @evanmalymusic.bsky.social · May 20

I'm really happy you like it! It was a lot of fun to make.
Also, it goes without saying, but your characters are sick.

I wanted to write a little Eggman tune for if he had a cutscene in Sonic 3 & Knuckles or something.

I had to reference @johntayjinf.bsky.social 's Eggman theme as well. Love that melody.

I wrote a little fan-theme about a year ago for @taxiderby.coven.cafe 's character, Gatsby. I figured I should share it because I think it came out well. 🐐

I need to get back on the grind and would love to do some game composition...

I'm going to post some more demo stuff, and if anyone is in need of a composer for their game or project, let me know!

A while back, I tried transcribing the 3/8 waltz from the second movement of Rachmaninoff's third piano concerto. One of my top three favorite moments in the piece.

I've been trying to produce at least one short piece every day, if I can. This is my doodle from April 28, 2025.
