Scoring the trailer for Horses of Hoofprint Bay 🎶🐎
The brief: organic, playful, grounded. No big cinematic gestures, just music for a hand-drawn, European world.
So, I chose live guitars, bass, and real drums.
Excited to be on board for the game’s demo, too!

Gave a talk last night at @swissgamehub.bsky.social about how I used Wwise to build a professional audio pipeline for Inventorix.
I wasn’t sure how a room full of non-audio people would react, but they leaned in, asked great questions, and made it a really special evening.

🎵 One of my favorite bits of sound design in INVENTORIX was the money “kaching”
I made 11 short synth hits tuned to a dominant pentatonic scale - small payouts trigger single notes, big ones play short melodic “kaching lines” 💸

🎵 Musical transitions shape how a game feels.
In Inventorix, I timed every Wwise playlist switch to musical phrasing - bar or beat - so transitions sound natural and intentional, not jarring.
Small timing details make the score breathe and feel alive. 🎶

Many #indiedev think audio middleware is “only for AAA.”
On Inventorix, it was just the dev & me. I still chose #Wwise. Not for flashy adaptive music, but for
🎛️ a clean workflow
⚡ fast iteration
🎵 room to grow
Even a small team can benefit from middleware.
