Only space for 4 photos to sum up an unforgettable experience?! So proud of my fellow @ivorsacademy.bsky.social nominees for their incredible work - I had so much fun celebrating with you all ❤️

Special congrats to John for his well-deserved win and love to my wife for her undying support!!

Can’t quite believe I’m saying this - Mathieu Alvado and I have been nominated for an @ivorsacademy.bsky.social Ivor Novello Award for Empire of the Ants! Humbled, incredulous, and rendered just a tiny bit speechless by this recognition 🙏

A privilege to be a BAFTA Games juror again this year with my incredible panel of peers! Congrats to all the worthy nominees and to Wil for his win (as well as for an absolutely stellar year!)

Endless thanks to Shimomura-san for our chat and your ongoing inspiration. So happy for your recognition 🙏

Can’t remember the last time I was out on a Monday night?!

And yet more! Just before meeting Amanda, I received some incredible news which made me double check if it was April Fools’ or not! Can’t wait to share when it’s made public 🥰

It's finally time to talk about a dream project - @sonarisensemble.bsky.social!

We are all professional musicians active in the video game space, and between us have recorded and arranged for projects including Horizon, Baldur's Gate 3, Alan Wake 2, Manor Lords, Slay the Princess and Hollow Knight.

Hey friends - I'll be at Guildford Games Festival next Friday, on a panel about getting into game audio. Come and say hello, it'll be fun!

I'll talk about passion projects, mid-life crises, second careers and other fun things - definitely a different perspective :)

Happy Friday friends! Just a reminder that the sound of this beautiful (and recently serviced) instrument can be in your video game/film/TV soundtrack too! I love recording for (and collaborating with) other composers and musicians, so drop me a message anytime if you want to chat 🎹🥰

This was fun 🥰 Hamaguchi-san himself took that first photo!!

What an honour to present him the well-deserved Best Soundtrack award for Rebirth and to perform with @lucialarezza.bsky.social in front of our industry peers.

Also doing some recording this week for something exciting, more news soon!

Thank you so much to the Golden Joystick Awards for inviting my awesome friend @lucialarezza.bsky.social and me to present an award, as well as play you a little something we prepared. It’s an absolute honour to take part! 🙏
Can’t wait to celebrate with everyone and say hi to friends old and new 🥰

Finally servicing the piano - here are some BTS shots!
Last pic shows one mechanism which differentiates grands from uprights - allowing repeated notes without fully lifting the key. There is a pad-like sensation when pressing down keys as a result. Uprights use springs to reset hammer positions

Christmas came early - can’t believe all this precious loot that I contributed to arrived on the same day! 🥰🙏

Not long till November 7th now! This is a crazy number - I hope everyone enjoys what the team has put together 🐜🙏

I think I’ll be distracting myself and tempering the anticipation/nerves this week by uniting the Veilguard and losing myself in Thedas…

Ok let’s try a video here!

I just finished Rings of Power S2 (I know, what took so long) and being unfashionably late as always, this was the song I couldn’t get out of my head…

Couldn’t get back to work without getting this out of my system, so here it is!
