Congratulations to @awintory.bsky.social for winning a GRAMMY for Sword of the Sea.
I’ve been a big fan since flOw. This feels like the apotheosis of his thatgamecompany/Giant Squid collaborations. Couldn’t happen to a nicer person and champion of video game music and composers alike.

Hey I'm Ben!
I made the FTL soundtrack.
I've worked on 14 different games.
I've been making music for 26 years (I'm older than I look.)
I'm mostly self-taught.
I've got some room in my schedule so I'm looking for another soundtrack project!

Made a score reduction/analysis vid for the #Helldivers2 main theme, “A Cup of Liber-tea”! It transcribes both orchestra and synths/drums, and highlights themes. Try and guess how many times you hear the main motif repeated throughout? :-P
