It’s almost time for one of my favorite weeks of the year, where the whole game industry descends on Köln. Can’t wait to attend both devcom and gamescom again, to meet old and new friends, and to go on my usual lap(s) through the merch hall! See you there!

It was a real privilege teaching this class this past week in Austria, as part of the Hollywood Music Workshop. I gave the students an interactive music assignment on Monday, we recorded it all by Friday at the Synchron stage and was listening in Wwise by Saturday. And they all crushed it!!
What an incredible week this has been. I’m immensely grateful to @awintory.bsky.social and the Hollywood Music Academy for a GREAT week of lectures, culminating in the amazing experience of conducting my own work at the Synchron stage in Vienna!

Made it to Baden and got it up and running! The trip here has occupied me so much that I’ve hardly been able to get excited about the week. Now that I’m here and all set up, the excitement is well and truly kicking in. Can’t wait for tomorrow 😍

Greetings from my well tucked-in PC and me. On my way to Baden 🇦🇹 - splitting it in 2 days on the way there

Beyond excited to announce that I will be attending the Hollywood Music Academy in Baden, Austria next week for the ‘Writing and Recording for Games’ masterclass by @awintory.bsky.social ! Can’t wait to learn from Austin, who is one of the composers I see as a huge role model.

It's Bandcamp Friday! :D If you enjoyed 'Invictus' or my recent OST for 'Dancing Pandas', do consider checking either one of those out on Bandcamp :).
And while you're there; don't forget to show some love to other artists! Today is the best day to do so! :)

We're making great progress on our game, Halve, so far! Finally started polishing stuff and creating some story elements - including in-game cinematics! 🧙

Getting back on the 'Composer Devlogs' wagon! This time around, I'm talking about the main theme for Halve by @moonleafstudio.bsky.social and how it came into existence (it involves Kalimba and literal inspiration from the game) :).
