El Capitan displays a massive American flag upside down—the traditional signal of distress or extreme emergency.

👋 Re-introduction time. I'm a soundtrack vocalist & performer. If you’ve played #Halo, #Destiny, #GodOfWar, #Civilization, #Soulcalibur, #KillerInstinct, #Katamari, #HonorofKings, #Diablo, #PUBG, or seen a concert from #VideoGamesLive, #InonZur, #HirokiKikuta or others, you may have heard me sing! ❤️

cool as hell

Hi friends! The Game Developers Conference is about a month away, and I would just like to remind all my audio people that we've got a discord server for anyone attending! Very useful for coordinating things! discord.gg/eamfvQg3AZ #GDC2025 #gameaudio

We're doing a sale all weekend over at Noise Dept! Tons of Xfer Serum presets for metal, rock, and industrial music. Shop the store ➡️ www.thenoisedept.com

Something's in Production for the GDC Metal Meet 2025! 👀 Come join us in Yerba Beuna Gardens at 4.30pm, Tuesday 18th March and rock your best Metal band shirt! 🤘 Event Info/RSVP: www.facebook.com/events/12806...

Non-music related post. New favorite source of news on the web. Seeing what the other side is saying is important, as is seeing what your side is not. Also important to see how each side frames the same story.

Let's go! 🤘🏻

Finally getting around to Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and it is a delight so far 🧝🏻‍♀️

Hotel booked for #GDC! Looking forward to reconnecting in person with the #gamedev and #gameaudio community. 🤘

1) I'm 1/3 of a sample library company called Somerville Sounds and we're dropping what I think is our best instrument soon. 2) Made this trailer entirely in blender and wrote the music using only this new library! 3) tell your music friends! youtu.be/KuCGiJNSbhQ?...

A little reminder for friends, colleagues, composers, and audio people 💜

New song is nearly complete. Just mixed in vocals by my buddy Chase Noseworthy, and I'm frigging stoked with how it all sounds. If you like medieval folk metal, watch this space 🤘🏻 #thewitcher #newmusic #folkmetal

Movie music goes "this bit is sad. This bit is tense", while game music goes "this bit is a swamp. This bit is a volcano." That's way better actually! Movie soundtracks should try being indifferent to their characters' inner worlds and their stupid little problems and tell you they are in a field

My next release is going to kick you in the proverbial balls. 🤘🏻

Bigger screen and Joy Cons for my large hands, hopefully stick drift issue fixed, new Mario Kart, backwards compatible...take my money Nintendo.

Angelenos, Mutual Aid LA made this list of resources during the crisis. It's very helpful. Please share.

Started work on my first new song in what feels like forever. Feels good! The Witcher IV trailer was just the bit of inspiration I needed to get this one rolling. Might try to rope my brother in arms Chase Noseworthy to lend his sweet baritone to it as well. 🤘

Someone shared a speech their character gave using this piece as their background music during their #pathfinder game. I love hearing stories of how people use my music in their games. Makes it all feel like I'm not releasing my art into the void. #dnd #gamedev #gameaudio #ttrpg

Spent many an hour with the Witcher III, so I'm stoked for the next Witcher game. Not as stoked for the next installment of the Witcher TV show though. But the music from Season 1 was S-tier IMO. Here was my rendition of one of the songs from the show 🤘🏻 #hurdygurdy #coversong #thewitcher

Writing the album for "The Seeker's Guide to Twisted Taverns" was a career highlight. 16 loopable instrumental fantasy tracks, with live orchestra, each taking place in a unique tavern! Click through, give it a listen, share and let me know what ya think! #DnDart #ttrpg #fantasy #gamedev #gameaudio

I had to snip out my favourite moment from #TheGameAwards. @laratlarian.bsky.social's words echo the heart of every developer. The industry needs to listen. We just want to make cool stuff for people. #indiedev #gamedev

Need a little instrumental tavern music pick-me-up for your Tuesday morning? Here ya go! Also got my new studio space set up and am open for commissions again! So if you need any fantasy inspired music for your game or table top sessions, feel free to reach out! #dndart #gamedev #gameaudio #ttrpg

NEW CREDIT! This has honestly been one of the hardest things to keep under wraps: DC Metal Force, a new Justice League animated miniseries, launched today on DC Kids and I had the absolute joy of writing music for it.

This coming year I really wanna work with #ttrpg homebrew creators or indie game devs to show off their cool works. But I also have 0 clue how to initiate contact and not sound like a cringe influencer trying to get special treatment/access at the same time

Don’t let the desire to make “good” art stand in the way of making art. Make bad art earnestly and joyfully. Pour your heart into poorly executed, derivative creations. And maybe it will end up “good” eventually or maybe it won’t, but either way you got to experience the magic of creating.

Me with music...

Forgot muting words was a thing! This has made my feed a lot more enjoyable.
