dude, same for that insanely stunning chrono-trigger-y RPG you're doing, that bowled me over when I saw the debut trailer!

Your stuff is literally always insane. Permanently mind-blown by the writing on display-- fantastic work, like usual!

I love every one of these composers, but I think the percentage of population who’d think of them when they hear the words “film composer” is almost definitely a rounding error. John Williams and Hans Zimmer all but OWN the term in the popular imagination 😅

Now, initial is intentional because if we have a couple prominent examples of Japanese creators getting held up by ICE or failing to make it in, I think this could change really fast…

Honestly, I’m not convinced it’ll have a ton of initial impact on anime-based events sourcing talent from Japan. Coming back from there just now, the overwhelming vibe I’ve got from my Japanese collaborators is that a lot of the news from America isn’t reaching them in detail.

Coke works well for this, too! I've always just told people "sorry, I don't drink." If you're intentional with it, they normally back off. If they don't, then they're TRYING to push you into vulnerability, in which case you need to avoid that person asap and get outta there!

I’m going to be attending GDC the entire week, Sunday through Sunday, and would love to talk to you about how the seasoned badasses at Interleave can be elevating your next project.
And for my absolute rockstar friends who are looking for their next place to call home… We’re hiring ❤️ talk to me!

Having now joined the world of external development… Well, if you’ve ever wanted the chance to work together on making your game sound even more amazing, let’s do it! For the first time in years, I’m actually available for those sorts of things 😅

Tencent has been a company that taught me a lot, gave me a ton of opportunities to grow, and ultimately has formed kind of the bedrock of my career in video game audio. It will always be a part of me!
...So, what's around the bend? Well, you'll just have to wait and see 😉

I'm tremendously grateful to my entire team (both current and those no longer at the company over the years) for everything we experienced together. It has been a ride!

"The Study of Game Music" matches the syllable count for "Ludomusicology" lol

I think I'd say it's theoretically possible, but the key part is that you basically have to be AVAILABLE for unhealthy hours. Whether or not the calls or emergencies happen in ways that actually require those specific hours is more or less random, but you prob gotta be open to it somewhat for a shot

110%. I sometimes look back and realize how dumb lucky I was that some of the first instruments I had (cheap knockoffs that were sold in my local music shop) just happened to be decent enough that they didn't scare me off by being functionally unplayable.

And when you find that instrument... Oh boy. It feels like you're taking off a burly overcoat or sunglasses or something. Everything just comes into focus.

He def does good videos! And yeah, I bet it’s great. I’ve got a soft spot for super strats, and a gradient quilt top? Ugh, just the best vibes.

This was so much fun that it inspired a special end credits variant, where I brought @jessezuretti.bsky.social aboard to produce a special argent metal version inspired by the Doom franchise. Needless to say, Jesse NAILED it, and we had a ball.

It's a game of the generation; can't imagine a more deserving title. Everyone absolutely nailed it!

It’s sorta parallel? There are like 5 or 6 random ways to access that part of the intraweb, and I always get confused which one leads to MY records versus my CLASS’S records
