Projects

Odd Behaviors

Odd Behaviors is a slice-of-life satire visual novel based on the Educational PSA films of the 1950s. Play as Paul, an odd young man trying to navigate through the social complexities of his new school as well as his own identity. Will he Man Up in time to find a date for the homecoming dance? Will he make any actual friends, or will he stay an awkward loner? Does he really deserve to be described in these reductive terms? It’s up to you to decide!


Chord Companion

Note that this is a prototype of how it may look when finished. It is still a work in progress, and will be updated.

Music theory is largely inaccessible outside of a formal classroom setting. Even there, it’s often overwhelming to learn about all the rules which make music. However, these rules were born out of musicians playing with sound to find what makes music so pleasing to the ear. There’s a clear logic within it, a logic which gives structure to almost all of the songs we hear today.

Chord Companion is a web program designed to make harmonic chord progressions accessible to even the most beginner musicians. It uses music theory to guide the user through the process of making chord progressions while also explaining the theory behind these concepts.


Music Compositions

For years, Kaden has been composing music both independently and for various projects, including short films, video games, and online content. His approach is largely thematic, emphasizing how music is able to create connections with the listener and build a narrative. Listen to some of these works below.

Paul’s Theme
About the song

This is the main theme for the protagonist of “Odd Behaviors.” It’s played mainly in moments of gentle introspection, when Paul reflects on the events happening in his life while he makes clothes in his room. In the game’s soundtrack, the use of the piano came to symbolize Paul’s honesty with himself.

Emergency
About the song

This piece is one of five I composed for the soundtrack of the unofficial House visual novel. Being a medical emergency theme, I wanted to capture both the driving sense of urgency and the intense focus required to keep the patient alive. 

Submerged in Memory
About the song

This song was one of three composed for the OST Composing Jam #7. This track was originally realized as a simple music box tune, but I expanded it into something slightly more grand, like a main theme, yet still remaining the sentimental heart.

2am Earl Grey
About the song

This piece was written for a modernist music seminar course as an experiment in minimalism. I wanted to capture the slightly surreal state of existence that comes with a hot drink in the dead of night, when every moment seems to stretch endlessly, yet no time seems to pass.
