Between Fabledom, Schedule 1, Baldurs Gate and the Oblivion Remaster; Its been a great time to be a single player game enjoyer these days! What single player games have you been enjoying lately? #gamedev #composer #singleplayer #meme #indiedev

Struggling with what to write or finding your musical identity? A friend of mine put it most poignantly: "Follow that idea. Let it be weird. Let it be yours and let's figure out what to do with it AFTER it's born." There is only one you out there. Don't hide it from the world. #composer #gamedev

Ah yes...nothing quite like doing some routine cleanup and accidentally deleting your whole audio engine because UAD labels it as "plug ins" and not "vital ass shit, do not uninstall ever." Seriously UAD...WHY?! #crisisaverted #universalaudio #panic #composer #audioengineer #wtf

Man, where do I even begin with #GDC? So many good things! 6 months ago I was alone and lost, and now? Now I have a lifelong family and purpose. Huge thanks to @jasongravesmusic.bsky.social for bringing us together! Shoutout to @darrenkorb.bsky.social for taking time to chat with me! You rock!

Making music is really just writing a series of love letters to the artists that came before you in an effort to honor their greatness

But for real the best part of this week was discovering the long lost Campbell brother @shawnofthebards.bsky.social may our beards slowly intertwine as we become a singular eldritch horror entity

Well GDC, it's been real. This week was truly life changing in more ways than one. The future is looking bright! 🌻😎 #gdc #sfo #composer

So you’re telling me the one week that I’m not at home making music but in fact at GDC is the same week that Steve Duda and Xfer drop Serum 2

Today’s first talk by @wilbertroget.bsky.social was incredible! Stunning insight into creating an adaptive score for an open world game #GDC2025 #composer

Its been a busy week getting ready for GDC! Had the lovely opportunity to do some VO for a really fun came called Orebound by a small indie studio based in the UK! They just updated the game! Give it a look on Steam! youtu.be/ey-vTveUXJ8?... #indiedev #gamedev #voiceover #rockandstone

Was playing around with some vocal impressions and had a sudden realization! Now I need to write out what a debate between Liam Neeson and Richard Nixon would be like πŸ˜‚ #voiceover #voiceactor #impressions #thinkaboutit

KNOBS AND CRANKS KNOBS AND CRANKS

Anyone who fancies themselves as a latter-day Napoleon would do well to remember that Napoleon not only died in ignominious exile, but was also buried in four coffins: a tin coffin, inside a mahogany coffin, inside a lead coffin, inside another mahogany coffin. Like a coffin turducken.
