Been an amazing day so far catching up with friends, checking out the talks and all the amazing games coming out of B.C! Full Indie Summit has been an absolute pleasure! Already looking forward to coming back next year 😁
I'll be popping up to
@fullindie.bsky.social Summit
this coming weekend. If any of my Vancouver folks are looking to catch or or meet feel free to reach out and we can find some time to chat at the conference 😁
I've released two OST's today! It's very experimental to release these. I'm excited to showcase my diversity with the electronic ambient of Starstrike and the Celtic Orchestral with Dark Age Dinos.

Was so much fun presenting at Otafest this weekend! Being in a room full of gaming nerds is never a bad time 🎮

I came, I saw, I kicked…..maybe I just did super well ❤️ Thanks again to @officialgdc.bsky.social for having me speak at their event! Looking forward to enjoying the rest of the conference 👾

Day 2 of @officialgdc.bsky.social and I will be speaking! It’s my first GDC panel and I’m incredibly excited to share my experience and perspective on #gameaudio with such a wide audience 💪 Wish me luck! 🔥

Becoming hyper aware of audio WILL drive you nuts at some point 😂 Learning to really appreciate sound in all forms is the only way to combat going just a little bit crazy!

#gamejams are ALWAYS the best way to meet, network and build a game if you’re new to the industry. Hands down the best way to get yourself in the door and they always are a ton of fun 🔥🎮

Yeah dude! It’s sorta like a calling card for him
Ooh my bad! Appreciate the correction 👌
“Never forget who you are” - me being a #homestuck fan 😂 but seriously the music was pretty damn good!

Sometimes place holder save us time so we can just get them off our brain for the time 😂
Another personal milestone reached today! “Get to Work”(which I created the rollerblade SFX and the grindset podcast track on) was streamed on @GameGrumps! Having YouTubers I watch play a game I worked on feels amazing 😁

It’s something that me and my “normal” musician friends talk about a lot. It often ends up getting quite philosophical 😂
#gameaudio and #musicproduction are similar but have different uses/connotations and goals with the music/audio. To outsiders it’s strange but I often compare it to an architect vs an engineer, you both “build” the building but in different ways!

ANY industry that’s over saturated will be one you need to hustle in! Only because competition means you will need to go above and beyond to burn your name into the ecosystem 🎼 Do it because you need it, not because you want it 🔥

#gameaudio #gamedev #indiedev #hustleculture
Let’s face it, most people would love to work in artistic jobs 🎼🎨 Be prepared to face lots of uncertainty but if you stick with it you can break through the ocean of other #gameaudio professionals 🔥

#foley is the unsung hero of cinematic #sounddesign. Without it scenes can feel devoid of life! It’s why I’m always so proud when I can make something feel “real” when working with it.

Having the budget to truly give your game a proper a thorough soundtrack makes all the difference! So many developers undershoot how much music they need to audio brand their project! Music adds memorability! ❤️

Truly the blessing of SFX vs Music 😂
