OK, time for my intro post, I guess.
Hi. My name is Maclaine Diemer and I write music for games like these. I also like dressing as Kylo Ren from time to time. I love my job and I love the game dev community. I'm glad to see so many people here and hope the community continues to thrive!

Newly acquired 1977 R2-D2 that will sit atop my ARP 2600 (AKA the synthesizer used to make his voice) for inspiration. Give me your power, Artoo!

I couldn't be more happy to have partnered with the Emperia on this soundtrack release. It's SO cool to have it not just on vinyl but also on CD and cassette! You can listen to the whole score and get a copy here:

Spent Saturday night on the Universal Studios back lot where they shot the town square exteriors for the Back to the Future movies. They had live actors doing an immersive experience, recreating scenes from the movie. Super fun!

PAX East was a blast last week. Good to be back in my old stomping grounds of Boston for a bit, reconnect with some friends, and make new ones. Hopefully I'll get back next year! Here's a little fun video I made.

Thanks to Noa for all her work on this talk, and thanks to everyone at PAX East who came to hear us. We're so grateful to have had such a wonderful audience.

Join me and @noabeazley.bsky.social this week at PAX East as we discuss scoring for games! We'll draw from our own experiences and shed some light on what makes interactive music different from scoring film and TV. I'm excited to be back in the city where my musical life and career began!
