My second album landed on streaming today! It’s basically a game soundtrack without the game. It’s on all the streaming services. Check it out! #gameaudio

Here’s a quick peek at the boss music for Owlet’s Embrace. I’ve decided to only use soundfonts that I make! Makes
for extra work, but it’s totally worth it! #owletsembrace #playdate #IndieDevs

@Mitchflowerpwer Sorry, I just saw this now. I actually do my 8-bit arrangements in a DAW so I don’t have an nsf file.

I’m excited to be composing for this game! Lukas has been so great to work with so far 👍

Super excited to announce that I’ll be composing the soundtrack for the game Owlet’s Embrace, releasing on the Playdate! It’s been an absolute pleasure working with @thestrupf. #owletsembrace #gamedev

Playing recent games and noticing (again) that music design (interactive music) is still very basic.
It’s been decades like that.
I don’t care if most don’t care, I won’t stop pushing for the games I’m working on. I can only encourage anybody that is pushing as well, merci!
