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!

Male buttocks feature less fat pads than female ones, making the base forms more angular. When simplified, they can be blocked out using two short cylinders angled outward – use this approach whether you're #3dmodeling, sculpting, or studying #anatomy for art. #characterdesign

Inspired by the Red Army Choir, all the lyrics are in Al Bhed. It's on my gaming covers Rushmore.

Wrote the score to a 2-hour Tolkien fanfilm my sister and her friends made in high school, got bit by the composing bug, then cold-emailed my first game client when they released a demo of their game sans music, bundled w/ a self-scored video of me and my cousins playing said demo, and got the gig.🙏
