Hi! I'm Owen, a musician/composer/arranger/orchestrator, video game music archivist, and amateur graphic designer.
I'm somewhat known in the community of the video game Destiny for my two music projects, Geomantic and The Discarded Instrument. And also helping run Destiny Music Archive on YouTube.

In honor of Sonic Rush's 20th anniversary, we dug into the archives and found some original concept art of Blaze the Cat! Enjoy!

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is basically a game that I've been waiting to exist for over a decade. And now that it's here, I love it.

@chrisofthedead.bsky.social are you the one who animated the Felix scene talking about the movie Holes? I loved that but can't find it anywhere.

Not to be that guy but maybe if you're going to end up making your fans wait over 15 years for a game, you could at least so much as give a heads up so they can take work off that day and not have a game like TES VI drop on a random Tuesday in March 2029 while everyone is at their dayjob?
Todd Howard says The Elder Scrolls VI is "still a long way off," but teases it could be shadow-dropped one day. gameinformer.com/2025/11/10/t...

New pixel art by @archival-mind.bsky.social for "Music of the Cubes," my NES style remix album of music from Bungie's Destiny. Created using the original sheet music scores to Music of the Spheres, which I licensed in 2023.

Once every 10 years, tech should host an industry event where they all agree that for the next entire year, all of their resources are going towards bug fixes and stability.
Windows needs like 8 of these right now.

Welp, October 2025 was one of the worst months I've ever had. If I weren't very strictly sober, I've be popping champaign that it's finally past midnight and now November.
It started badly, got even worse, and ended with a final bad moment on Halloween. Rest in hell, October.

the thing is, microsoft, a “no comment” on the halo IP being used for nazi propaganda means you’re comfortable with it.
which means you consider it an acceptable marketing hit representative of your brand.
when i said halo just looked like blood money now, i didn’t expect an affirmation so soon.

In case anyone cares, this "arrangement" is plagiarized. I informed VVGO leadership (I literally have the original score under license from Bungie so I would know) and they just tried to gaslight me that it wasn't. Entire instrument parts are just copy and pasted.

to clarify, I don't want to be antagonistic. But what does frustrate me is how what originally influenced and informed the design of everything from CE was wholly inspired by other forms of media, not inspired by itself.
All it takes is returning to those roots, that's the fix. Genuinely.

Also that one awkward moment when your favorite piece of music your friend has ever written is something they wrote and then buried without showing a single person for over 10 years

I can't particularly share why, but I've been thinking for a few months about how so many people talk about the "Marty O'Donnell"-isms that makes Halo sound like Halo... to such a degree that 343 went back to this with Infinite pretty hard.
