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!

I really would love this to happen.
There was a #StarTrekProdigy Art Book in the works. I was going to co-write it.
It went into limbo when it was removed from Paramount+ with uncertainty if Season Two would find a home. Then more uncertainty when Paramount was merging with Skydance.
If you want it — Trek fans should rally for it!

That said, if they don't release a #StarTrekProdigy art book it will be a literal crime.

It’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY, friends!
If you’ll permit me a little self-promotion, perhaps I could interest you in some eclectic and unusual video game and film soundtracks?

Goddamn. Beyond the prescience of the politics here, as I get older I find myself in absolute awe of people like McKellan—those who have developed such a mastery of their craft, studied and practiced for so many decades. That mastery, that dedication is enough to put a lump in my throat!
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Gosh, I'm proud of my city. 🙏
This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context:
This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Ahh, a nice fresh batch of Penne Whistles.
Ok admittedly printing these whistles in yellow makes them REALLY look like penne

this is Bears football, to me
The Rams might well and probably should win this game, but it genuinely feels like a piece of the Rams’ collective soul is not leaving that stadium

I feel like that game melted me into a puddle of goo, good Lord, jeez.
