Hi Bluesky friends!
I promise I won't do this all the time, but I put together a neat little demo reel of a few projects I've worked on!
If any of you need melodically-rich, (potentially) award-winning music for your games, hit me up!

An absolute pleasure to contribute my voice and assorted horns and brass sounds alongside my @thegamebrass.com colleague @dannymusic.bsky.social to this fantastic score!

I had such a good time arranging this suite for us and our friends at the Videri String Quartet.
Happy N7 Day, folks!
Happy N7 Day from us here at The Game Brass!
Flash back in time with us to four years ago when the title track for our space album, "Brass Effect" dropped!

We don’t want AI slop.
Stop sending us AI slop.
Stop wasting our time with AI slop.
It doesn’t sound good.
It’s antithetical to our core values.
You didn’t even make it.
Knock it off.

Folks, go play the Skate Story demo - it's legitimately *incredible*.
I'm not even a skate game guy, the vibes are immaculate and the skating is tactile and expressonate.
Also the writing is hysterical.
Doing 5050 grinds today to celebrate over 50,000 demo downloads!

Thank you for skating.
