Looking at my schedule, it looks like I'll have time to add in a few more composition projects starting around April. So if you are a game dev or any other type of creative and you'd be interested in working with me, feel free to reach out so we can chat about that!

A gentle #chiptune for a quiet moment?

I’m just imagining David Attenborough narrating overtop of this:

“And here we see the reed player in her natural environment…”

Happy Birthday to the most iconic console ever!

The NES launched in NA this day, 40 yrs ago. I got mine for my 7th bday in 1987. I remember coming back from school and seeing the big box, gift wrapped, on the kitchen table and later setting it up with my dad. One of my fondest childhood memories and my most prized possession. Happy bday, NES. 🥳

Made the map layer transition better. Here's what it looks like in dungeons! Each section is a "layer" stored as a standalone map. The transition happens in 2 phases: flood-fill of an area of interest, then spiral fill for the rest of the screen. #nesdev #jrpg #thebookofrynn

If someone submits something to me VERY early, I'll sometimes check to make sure they didn't dramatically misunderstand the assignment, but otherwise I don't look at things until after the deadline passes.

Aaron Lee, composer 🇨🇦 @musicoflee.bsky.social · 3d

I keep running into people who think that "due at 2:00" means that 1:55 (or some other arbitrary time) is "late".

No. It's not.

If you set a deadline, you need to abide by your own deadline.

Some #8bit music for a potential firestarter?

I keep seeing ads for a local dentist that boast “personal” care and service, and I really don’t think they realize how much the AI voiceover in their ad undercuts that message.

Throwback to an FFX arrangement I did a while back.

Things are calm, but maybe not everyone's happy.

Some slightly intense #chiptune?

I feel like this could represent some underlying tension at a dance studio, maybe?

“Excuse me. I think I need to amend my previous statement slightly.”

Seriously though, of all the things to generate via AI I don’t understand why music notation is one of the things people do so often. It’s literally just a font that you could download for free, no graphics skills required.

Today is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: a day that serves as commemoration of the painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools and honours the Indigenous children who were lost in the residential school system.
