DEMOS (Next-Gen/MP3)
ORISIA VALLEY [Action/Adventure] (2:09 - 3.5mb)
This is an arrangement of a tune I had composed originally for a cell phone game called "Oracle". Here it is fully orchestrated, the arrangement took a couple of hours to make, and could be assimilated to an "ActRaiser" sort of game, although with a more uplifting mood.
WYVERN [Tactical RPG] (2:49 - 3.9mb)
This is a demo made for a Tactics sort-of-game, with very obvious inspiration from Final Fantasy & Final Fantasy Tactics. This was made for fun so I could test a new batch of samples I had bought.
QUARTERLIFE [Futuristic FPS] (1:15 - 2.1mb)
The title is an obvious play on the game "Half-Life". This was made in a short period of time and is a beat-driven action tune with electronic ambience, which is pretty much a classic ingredient of futuristic 1st person shooters.
THROUGH SPACE [Shoot 'Em Up] (2:30 - 3.4mb)
This one is unfinished due to a loss of some files in a HDD crash. This is a next-gen shooter demo, think of Gradius V. Techno/Electro mixed with some Orchestral elements.
SHRINE & BATTLE [Action/Adventure] (1:55 - 2.6mb)
Demo for a Samurai-based Action/Adventure game. Here we have concepts for a Shrine BGM and then some random battle BGM.
VAMPIRES [Dungeon Crawler] (1:33 - 1.8mb)
An obscure "City at night" theme concept for a Diablo-like game.
DOUBTING SUNSET [Ambient/RPG/Website] (3:16 - 4.5mb)
Originally made for the website of a next-gen Action/Adventure game. This is an ambient track with eastern flavor. Will be sure to relax you :)

DEMOS (Limited/GBA/NDS)
ACTION GAME BGM DEMO [Action - 10 channels] (1:45 - 1.6mb)
This is a catchy action BGM track with electric guitars and fast leads! Think of games like "Metal Slug" for this one.
OPEN LAND [Action - 8 channels] (2:03 - 2.8mb)
Mountains/Far West Town BGM track for the game "Winnetou - Wild Lands" on Nintendo DS. The game is a medium-paced platformer with pretty graphics. The tune is more adventurous than most "happy" platformer tunes because of the more serious nature of the game.
DEVIL MOUNTAIN [RPG - 10 channels] (1:52 - 1.7mb)
Originally made for the "Western Lords" project on GameBoy Advance. Your classic pretty RPG track, in a western setting, with tension before the loop.
FLOWER GARDEN [Action - 6 channels] (1:27 - 1.3mb)
Flower Stage BGM for "The Bee Game" on GameBoy Advance. This one is classic platform music, very happy and uplifting; it's pretty good considering that only 6 channels and limited sample data were allowed.
FOREST [Action - 8 channels] (2:43 - 2.5mb)
Forest BGM for "Dragon's Rock!" on GameBoy Advance. The track uses 8 voices and 16khz samples; it was hell to make mainly because of MusyX, which is seriously the worst music tool ever created. The track is still decent though, and lasts quite a long while before looping.
NES DEMO [NES! - 5 channels] (8:07 - 7.4mb)
Who doesn't like Nintendo NES music? This is a little bonus, a medley of some NES music originals & a lot of NES remixes of games most gamers have learned to love (details are in the MP3 comments). Working with the least sometimes brings out the most fun!
There are a lot of fun cell phone tracks I've composed for games which are not available here yet. All of them are General MIDI with many restrictions but a lot of them are really fun listens. I will try to render them soon and upload a MP3 medley of some here in the near future. Stay tuned! Thanks for reading & listening.

REVIEWS
"Xavier Dang is a remarkable composer with a professional attitude in all areas; very skilled to create musical themes that respect the game's atmosphere, capable of respecting deadlines, participates to a team's harmony and even helps with providing suggestions out of his field. Another quality that I must absolutely mention is that whenever I wasn't completely satisfied with a composition, Xavier would never waste time complaining and would instead come back to me fast with a better version! Not only have we been overwhelmed, but Xavier has managed to attract the attention of our fans on our productions!"
- Elder Prince
(Owner, Project Director & Designer of BlossomSoft, Inc.)
"I've had the priviledge of working with Xavier during the development of Chrono Resurrection. Throughout the development of the project, I could see that he had strong work ethic and an incredible amount of passion for music creation. When we presented him tasks with an incredibly short deadline, he delivered with flying colors. Personally, I've been a huge fan of Xavier's music long before I got the chance to work with him. His works have constantly been an inspiration to me while I work and I always look forward to his next piece of music."
- Nathan Lazur
(Project Director/Programmer of Resurrection Games)
(Graphics/Effects Programmer for Pandemic Studios)
"What can I say? Xavier is one of the best; there are few who are his equal in game music composition. Take a listen to just two of his amazing tracks, 'Heavenly Anew' or 'Time Chill' and you'll hear what I'm talking about. If you want something different and something brilliant, you NEED to have Xavier compose a masterpiece for your product."
- John Romero
(Co-Creator of Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Quake & over 100 video games)
"Working with Xavier is a breeze. He's quick to respond and consistently gets the job done right the first time. I'd recommend him for any project and I'll be working with him as much as I can."
- Mustin
(Owner/Producer/Musician of Mustin Productions)
"News flash: mv is good. Damn good. Varied styles, consistently high quality, creative arrangements. There's not much left for me to do but simply describe his mixes and highly advise them to listeners, which is a good thing."
- David "djpretzel" Lloyd
(Owner & Maintainer of OverClocked ReMix)
"With mellow, dreamy chords draped over a languid, swaying groove, Mv's (France-based Xavier Dang) elegant “Padma” encapsulates the comp's general feel"
- Ron Schepper of textura.org
(Regarding Xavier's track on "Apegenine Volume 1")
"Xavier Dang, better known to many of us as mv, is one of those guys that you keep an eye out for on the remixing scene. Acclaimed in both the OCR and VGMix communities, he is known for his smooth, multi-textured, and consistently ‘cool’ tracks. An intelligent musician who’s not afraid to take risks and explore new possibilities, he’ll often choose an array of instruments you never thought could work in ensemble. But they do…and do they! I am continually impressed with the quality and ingenuity of his work."
- Jillian Goldin
(Soprano Vocalist & Performer)
