I did this for a game jam a few months back. I've always been a fan of David Wise's music for the DKC games--truly groundbreaking stuff with synths and samples. I doubt I'd be starting a career as a games composer without Mining Melancholy and so this is a tribute. #nostalgia #gamemusic #donkeykong

I'm testing out some fun tape and distortion plugins and this is what came out. The main synth lines (bass, pads, plucks, strings) are all Plogue's excellent Chipsynth MD, and the guitar is one that I sampled myself and played via MIDI. Thoughts? #lofi #crunchy #gameaudio #chiptune #plogue

Boo? Footage from pexels (edited by me), but all of the audio is mine, including sound effects and pitched notes. If you're running a pirates-themed DND campaign and you need background ambience, this should be up on streaming tomorrow. #gameaudio #sounddesign #ambience #horror #spooky #composing

It's midnight somewhere, which according to Ghost Ship Monthly is the best time to post this.

There's also a bunch of creaky doors, but those are hard to film, record, and open all at once. So imagine them. Actual piece tomorrow! #soundtrack #sounddesign #ambience #composing #gamemusic #gameaudio

As promised, here's the finished piece! Should be up on streaming soon if you want to add it to a playlist. Video is stock from pexels (not AI).

Would love to hear what the rest of you are making with found sounds like tin cans! #music #composing #synthesis #sampling #foundsound

Musical sound design is a big part of my process--I love field recording, sample manipulation, and overindulgent FX chains. I was inspired by a humble can of once-beans to make a piece. Here's the behind the scenes, piece tomorrow. #ambient #gamemusic #production #synthesis #foundsound #composition
