Spacblender seems like a fun plugin to mess around with, and it’s free for a limited time.

I’ve been practicing with synthesizers and decided to do a quick redesign of Sleeper Stimulant from Destiny 2. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out! #gameaudio

I always know when Windows needs to update because things start breaking out of nowhere. It’s like it throws a temper tantrum and decides my audio drivers just aren’t going to work anymore

Hey, friends.
I know the world is ablaze, and my problems are minor, but I need to take a chance.

I love making music for games. 2023-2024 saw 5 projects I was working on get cancelled, and their studios shut down, and I haven't written a note since June.*
Got any games that need music?

Title art from "Tchia", by Awaceb, a BAFTA, Game Award, and G.A.N.G. Award-winning open-world adventure game set in a fantastical version of New Caledonia. I had the privilege of composing its original score, designing its playable ukulele and rhythm-game sections, and composing a dozen original songs in French and Drehu with the lyrical assistance of Marilou Lopez-Aguilera. I also designed and implemented the interactive score in FMod. Title art for “For The King II”, by IronOak Games. A fantasy turn-based, tabletop-inspired game. I wrote a medieval/early music/renaissance-inspired score and worked with our own in-house Unity audio solution to implement it. It is currently nominated for three G.A.N.G. Awards for Best Music in an Indie Game, Best Original Song, and Music of the Year. Title art for “Ambition: A Minuet in Power”, by Joy Manufacturing Co. A roguelike visual novel set in Paris on the eve of the French Revolution. I wrote hours of period music using a variety of historically-accurate ensembles, produced live out of piecemeal recordings recorded in home studios during the height of the pandemic, and implemented with sophisticated branching interactive paths in FMod to support the narratively-focused gameplay. We won an Indiecade Award for Excellence in Audio Design, and garnered three G.A.N.G. Awards nominations. Title art for “Mythgard”, by Rhino Games. A mythologically-infused cyberpunk dystopian collectable card game, Mythgard won a G.A.N.G. Award for Best Original Soundtrack (and three other nominations), and features hours of cinematics and a custom-designed interactive music implementation solution that flexes from native-run executables on mobile and desktop devices to web-browser based play.

A couple days ago, the final update for XDefiant released. Along with the Season 3 content, a boatload of stuff that was going to be in future seasons was added as well. I’m really happy all this work is seeing the light of day and people can see what this game could have been.
