Shortly thereafter, he was held upside down and smacked on the bottom, letting out what would be the first in a long line of epic wails. The public premier of his pipes occurred five years later when he took the stage in what would be the first of many musical productions. At twelve years old he picked up his first guitar and began writing rock songs and playing in a long line of bands.
Darren produced his first critically acclaimed rock album while in high school. While still in college, Darren received a Telly Award for his composition "Cullinary Excitement," and began composing for TV. In 2007 he received his BA from NYU's Gallatin School. In 2008, three of his songs were featured in the film, "The Adventures of Food Boy" starring Lucas Grabeel (High School Musical). In 2009 he began working in video games, assuming the role of lead audio designer for SF Bay Area start-up, Supergiant Games, and independently authoring songs for the Rock Band Network. Furly's "Icarus' Song," which Darren authored for Rock Band, was chosen as one Harmonix's top 10 songs on the Rock Band Network. He has also written a new Power Pop musical with his brother. Darren currently resides in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn and splits his time between playing multiple instruments with several bands (Audio Fiction - bass, keys, Shelita Vaughns - guitar, Crystal DeVonne - guitar, Modakai - drums), playing sessions (guitar - Adam Green's "Morning After Midnight") working on his own music for Furly, producing other artists (A.L.X.), composing for television, film and video games, and authoring songs for the Rock Band Network.

Listen, all this takes a lot of gettin' used to.
And you do get used to it...after a while.
There's three things I'll always miss, though.
One: Not havin' to watch my step all the time.
Two: Ah...forget about two.
And three: I miss the songs...folks from Caelondia knew how to carry a tune. Sure, we've got some songs on the old gramophone...but try to imagine what they sounded like, playin' to a room full of fine people, unwinding at the Sole Regret right after a hard day's work.
Those were the days...

Crazy how Darren recorded all these tunes in a NY apartment with a bunk bead and blanket for dampening if I remember the story correctly. Very cool. Indie in the true sense not for the sake of being cool.

He is a genius. Was. Is. and would be.

When I had my first computer for me, alone, around 2012 it was a small notebook that couldn't run anything, with just 2 GB ram, so I started buying indies just to try them, and Bastion was one of the first. This music made me fall in love with Bastion inmediatelly, and still fills me with joy.
Still today I mostly play indie games because of how much I loved Bastion. Thanks Supergiant.

I can relate. This was one of the few games I could run.

You can definitely hear aspects of Korb's style back in this piece that still surface in the Hades OST. Familiar, yet fresh.

Ah, all those memories coming back. Great track, one of my favourites.
Noneya Business
The way this is mixed is like a warm hug for my ears! Some damn good strings and guitar.

I love the gradual buildup on these songs early in the game
PopADoseYo
Yes, the rising tension is wonderful. Much like how shorter songs have an accelerando.

"I is for In Case of Trouble, a song grown famous across the land, dedicated to the pioneerin' spirit of Caelondia"
