The Oblivion remaster / visual remake is interesting, and fixes the two biggest reasons why I didn't click with it back in 2006: artstyle and gamefeel. The game has a lot more character now! Shivering Isles remains one of the best expansion packs ever made... Such a treat.

New Cloudheim trailer, this time focusing on it's immaculate cosy vibes and announcing the beta! πŸ₯³ This trailer's bespoke music is in our trademark cosy-mode Cloudheim style, with relaxed yet melodic vibes. ☺️ #gamemusic #gamedev #indiedev

Orchestration is SO MUCH FUN!* *if the computer cooperates.

Metroid Prime 4 HYPE! It's looking so great, and just as important: sounding great. Not sure if the original sound team is back, but the main theme shown so far definitely brings to mind Kenji Yamamoto's distinct Metroid sound. So I made a piano arrangement! 🀩 youtu.be/Souj3-ajAr8 #switch2

Continuing my series of energetic orchestral arrangements, here's Mipha's Theme! Throwing our favourite fish lady a party. It's available now for watching through Patreon! #zelda #botw #mipha #gamemusic

More Celtic Zelda is on the way! HYRULE HIGHLANDS IV is now in production and focuses on a big 'n fancy Symphonic Folk sound, inspired by the work I did on @noodlecatgames.com's upcoming RPG CLOUDHEIM's trailer & game music. Have some Ravioli! 🦜🏹 youtu.be/YVV4SqQOsMU #zelda #gamemusic #nintendo

Combat takes center stage in #Cloudheim! βš”οΈβœ¨ Get an early look at some key features in our brand new trailer! youtu.be/WYf070uR9UI #FutureGamesShow

With the end of the Switch era nearing I've been revisiting the GOAT Breath of the Wild. STILL LOVE IT. To celebrate, I've been doing orchestral arrangements! Today: Revali's Theme 🦜🏹. youtu.be/YVV4SqQOsMU #zelda #switch #botw

Have been cutting my teeth on orchestra stuff more lately, and decided to bite down on Colgera! It's big and orchestral, with plenty of folky/celtic accents. youtu.be/CM79cd_PtYQ #zelda #tearsofthekingdom #gamemusic

Time sure flies when you're making a game! Check out our first dev blog, covering some FAQs, a bit of history, and a teaser of what's next. πŸ‘‡ #Cloudheim #DevBlog #Steam

Get a feel for the amount of layering & mixing going on in my compositions! For the Cloudheim trailer, I combined a full symphony orchestra with live instrumentation and *lots* of earcandy. 🀀 Full video: youtu.be/tUd1rDkDkJI #indiegame #gamedev #composition #indiedev

The music I've been writing for @noodlecatgames.com ' Cloudheim is some of the best I've ever made...! Get a taste for the game and it's music, and see what my composing process is like in this fancy video: youtu.be/tUd1rDkDkJI #gamedev #indiedev #gamemusic #composer

In this video I'll show you how, with the guidance of the lovely folks at Noodle Cat, I concepted and composed the energetic and eclectic trailer music for their upcoming game Cloudheim! 🎻πŸͺ—πŸͺ˜

I'm excited to share that I've had the pleasure & privilege to write the music for Cloudheim! Writing for a game like this has been a dream of mine, and working on a project as ambitious as Cloudheim has been very exciting. Looking forward to sharing more in the future!

When composing for @conradicalgames.bsky.social 's Bullet Heaven SOUL STALKER, he asked me to write a track inspired by an official Fire Emblem arrange album. So this track starts out nice 'n folky, and gets a rock bite halfway through! 🀘 Currently looking for projects! πŸ€“ #gamedev #indiedev

That Xbox Developer Direct format is really nice. Relaxed, informative, and good to hear the creatives talk. Also, with how the rumours are, it's essentially a Nintendo Switch 2 Partner Direct xD .

Just finished Metroid Prime Remastered for the 4th time since it's release, and it really is a miracle of a game. Like BotW, Mario Galaxy, Morrowind, Skyward Sword, Heroes 3 etc. it's got *spades* of that undefinable X-factor that makes it endlessly inspiring. My favourite release of 2023! <3

Saying goodbye to 2024, a strange year of highs and lows, with an energetic version of the Market Square from Zelda: Ocarina of Time! πŸ₯³ I released FIVE albums this year - 1 Celtic Zelda, 2 Piano Zelda and 2 albums of original work. And MUCH more to come! πŸ€“ youtu.be/tjwqDSNNgk4 #zelda #nintendo

My Spotify wrapped! 1). Weird funky jazz; 2). The game music GOAT; 3). Progressive/death metal. I'm a normal boy!

Reposting this because the Algorithm(tm) on YouTube(tm) seems to not like recommending this video very much. It's fun! It's bouncy! Check it out my fellow Zelda nerds! :D #zelda #switch #nintendo #echoesofwisdom

More Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom fun - Hyrule Castle Town! This time I went full renaissance fair with mandolin, octave mandolin, DADGD guitar, low whistle, high whistle, accordion and darbuka. 🎻🀩 Oh yeah and it's also a piano arrangement πŸ˜…. youtu.be/AkVBolXMtV8 #zelda #nintendo #switch

WILD COUNTRY has finally been released, and it's been my pleasure to write some sweet nostalgic folky tunes for it! 🎻🎸πŸͺˆπŸͺ— I actually learned to play the mandolin writing these tracks! πŸ€“ You can check out the Wild Country Original Soundtrack here: youtu.be/BnD1qExvVdI 🀩

My first two - very different! - full game soundtracks have released. Have a listen! πŸ₯³ SOUL STALKER by @conradicalgames.bsky.social has catchy, old-school game music inspired by Zelda & Fire Emblem. 🀩 GUILD SAGA's OST is mellow and wistful, invoking Chrono Cross & '90s CRPGs.πŸ₯² #gamedev #indiedev

Few things make me feel as seen as my YouTube viewers requesting me to play my original work on-stream. 🀩 www.youtube.com/live/3U49EUm...
