Some music I wrote inspired by a cat game 😺
The game’s aesthetic felt perfect for fingerstyle guitar and elements of folk music—mandolins, lute, banjo, and dulcimers all singing above the pulse of an Irish Bodhrán (frame drum) 🪕🥁

Except for @awintory.bsky.social writing a bad melody. Probably never gonna happen.

Fantastic video by @davidbrucecomposer.bsky.social! Really gives a great rundown of the intricacies of Jacob's audience choir. Modulating an entire audience must be thrilling!
Jacob Collier's Audience Choir is a unique experiment in turning a crowd into an instrument. I break down how it works, and look at far its come - how to make cluster chords and modulations, just by waving your hands! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpCN... @jacobcollier

Collaboration isn't just about working together—it's about discovering new voices and bringing unexpected ideas to life.
As the majority of composers write in solitude, composing in pairs for the Screen Music Lab at @ubisoftmontreal.bsky.social was certainly a shock to the system. ... (1)

do stuff, now. There are 100 people with unrealized intentions for every person who has executed. The earlier you start doing the better you'll be at it when you're old enough for it to matter. You have *no idea* how much TIME & ENERGY you have & how little you're going to have in 20 years.
Game devs, what advice would you go back and give your teenage self?

Most successful people I know have been creating from an early age. I did too, quite a bit, & consider myself successful, but I sometimes wish I had done more & seeked out more mentorship because retrospectively I can see very precisely the ways I held myself back.

New arrangement! This is a re-imagination of the main theme from "The Legend of Valkyrie," originally released on the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16), blending a full orchestra with a modern rhythm section in a shuffle feel (rhythm section includes drum kit, bass guitar, and FM synth) (1)

🎮More music I composed for the #3VEREST Project in collaboration with Smobler Studios as part of @thesandboxgame ! It’s not often I’ve had the chance to compose in an over the top dramatic style, so it was fun to finally write some action drums and tense string glissandi in “The Edge!”🥁🎻🥶

🍂Was an exciting and eventful season this year at Alberta Game Series and CIFF 2024! #ags2024 #ciff2024 🎮🎬 - I'm routinely blown away by the creative community growing in Alberta as the games and film industries continue to rise. The passion and collaboration here are truly on another level🔥
