I started working on this album over 3 years ago at my local library. From then on, I slowly tinkered away at it, building a world that at times is meditative and disturbing, liminal and tranquil. Borough Down is an audio soundscape of melancholy for familiar places. I worked to combine varied moods throughout, packing the layers with textured drones and live field recordings. Every field recording you hear was recorded by myself. All of them are sounds local to where I live.

This album is very personal to me, as it grew and developed alongside my own development as an artist, such as during my time in music school, or in working to become a game composer. In some ways, it is my first full length soundtrack.

Step into this strange world with me. Welcome to Borough Down.

About

My name is Tristan Forrest, known by the moniker Skremzy. I am a musician/composer/producer of ambient, experimental, and electronic dance music. I graduated from the Langara Digital Music Production program in Vancouver, BC in 2024, and have a background in piano and church worship leading. I also played for concert and jazz bands in high school on the trumpet.

My music is defined by it's nostalgic melodies and atmospheres, with an experimental edge in the production. I have released numerous records on streaming platforms, most of which being full albums and EP's. 

I  also composed music for the game Perilous Quest by Newave Media, and am looking for more game and film soundtrack opportunities. 

In 2020, fellow artist friends Audiophobia, Newave Oceans and I started the online label/collective Phoenix Artistrys, a community built on the foundation of giving smaller artists more acknowledgement for their work. Phoenix Artistrys releases music from across the electronic and cinematic musical spectrum.

Game Soundtracks

I also make music for games. Currently I have worked on Perilous Quest by Newave Media as well as Storm Crusader, a game for Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2.

Storm Crusader is a game made for Brackeys Game Jam 2024.2. In this game you survive as long as possible against the Skeleboats, an evil clan of monsters bent on control of the seven seas. Check out my soundtrack for it by clicking on the cover!
