Hi Bluesky friends!
I promise I won't do this all the time, but I put together a neat little demo reel of a few projects I've worked on!
If any of you need melodically-rich, (potentially) award-winning music for your games, hit me up!

It’s SO good.
I would have bought Alabaster Dawn immediately if it was out when I finished that demo.

Now that the PlayStation version of FTK2’s DLC is out, if you’re a PlayStation focused outlet or content creator, feel free to get at me for a key!

A childhood spent playing sims and reading Janes aviation books?

Allow me to propose "Into The Woods" - perhaps one of my all-time favorite musicals, and definitely my favorite Sondheim show.
Incredible music, super clever twists on characters you know from folklore and fairytale, and just an incredible heart at the center of it.

Do they have screw-on bells? That could make or break my luggage situation.

It’s such a fun conference! We’ll get you down there someday!

Ahh! The vinyls are so incredibly pretty.

Just a delightful arrangement from Jeff - it was a pleasure to contribute!

Jeff Penny @jeffpennyaudio.bsky.social · 5d

When I am really into something, I get this overwhelming passion energy that I just need an outlet for. After watching the show and reading some of the light novels, I just had to do an arrangement of some Apothecary Diaries music. I literally just love it so much, I needed to.

Gareth really has done a solid job on this one, and I have to assume that's @fieldofreeds.bsky.social on every solo woodwind we hear. 😂

Hecking wow
That *is* legitimately beautiful.
I can see how it won you over.

I mean, like many of our Chicago teams, they are *cursed*…
So we suffer in eternal hope.

Heeeeey! Congrats on, uh, enduring terrible pain and keeping going? 😅

I’ve not messed around with setting it up properly - is there an elegant way to, like, emulate the CDs with ISOs or something?

Stumbled across and picked up this slice of my childhood in a used game shop today.
Hopefully I can get it to run?
