Composer and Sound Design
Ethan Larose makes music for people who like to listen.
Ever since I was a kid I have loved music. Combining my passion for video games and film with music, I strive to be an inspired composer who makes music that touches the heart and breaks the mold.
Adventure of the Twin Knights
For FUJIMOTO Marie
I made this piece for Marie when I was studying abroad in Japan in 2023, and it was premiered at the University of Tokyo's Chamber Music Club's Komaba Festival Concert 2024. So much thanks goes out to Marie and Hiroto for making this piece come to life.
Violin 1 FUJIMOTO
Marie Violin 2 OYAMA Hiroto
This piece is a fantasy work themed around the adventures of a pair of knights. I hope while listening to the music you can be taken away to a fantasy world inhabited by the knights that these two violins represent, and immerse yourself in a fairy tale full of drama, action, and joy. Please enjoy.

Adaptive Music
Music that responds to in-game events
In Forgotten City, on top of layering randomized drum tracks, synth pad recording positions, randomized guitar ambience and more, I programmed the music to change tempo, feel, and instruments in response to progression of the main character to create a truly dynamic and immersive gaming experience.
In the video below I show the inside of the FMOD project and show you how the music transitions when I switch parameter. In unity I programmed collision checkpoints inside the game to signal changes in progress, thus changing the feeling of the music to indicate to the player a sense of progression or change.
This is adaptive music.

Sound Design / Voice Acting
Monster shrieks, footsteps, player noises, alien speak. I’ve done it all. Monster voices were made by me, a cup of tea, and some audio magic. Music and sound integration with Wwise, FMOD, Unity, Unreal, etc. are tasks that I have completed before.
