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!

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

During the week, we will be writing a piece, which we’ll then record at the Synchron stage in Vienna! This means I have to bring some sort of workstation. My solution: packing up my PC and driving to Austria 😅. It’s going to be a big adventure, and I can’t wait!

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.

What is even happening? My last video is doing absolute bits, so much so, that the audio director at Amazon games decided to share it with his thoughts on LinkedIn 🤯. So humbled and grateful!

Metric Modulations! 🎶
Metric modulations are a great way to change your tempo subtly by turning one note value into another! This example turns a triplet 8th/16th figure into the main pulse in an 11/8 bar.

Sometimes, I can get overwhelmed by the amount of STUFF I need to do. At these moments, my chaotic brain needs to sit down, take out some colors, and start laying everything out before me. Out of brain and onto paper = peace of mind.

It was great being involved in a session in a role different from the composer/orchestrator, focusing on organization, time and cue management and functioning as a 'second set of ears' for the composer. Another great experience and a wonderful time in Prague, to boot!

Throwback to a couple of weeks ago, when I was asked to come to Prague and work as score supervisor on 4 recording sessions for a documentary!

To my surprise, I received an email recently that I was selected as one of the top performers of the class, and had received a personal letter of recommendation from Jason. I am extremely grateful and humbled for this recognition and Jason’s kind words. Thanks to everyone for this great opportunity!

Earlier this week, I was thrilled to learn that my score for the animated short ‘Next Please’ is nominated for ‘Best Soundtrack’ at the upcoming Shortcutz Amsterdam awards! This film was a LOT of fun to work on, and I’m super happy and honored with this recognition!

For one of the games I'm working on, I'm experimenting with a music system that desynchronizes two layers of music in real-time. It's been a fun challenge to try different things and see how they work creatively and on the technical side!

Is it time to bring back these? I used to make short videos like this for quite a while and post them on every social I am on. I'm thinking of uploading them here as well, just so you can get to know me and my music a bit more. :)
