If you're still using sidechain compression to unmask elements in your mix, you might wanna look into more transparent, modern techniques.

5. The music by @samhulick.com is called "The Colossus" and it's the same music I use for all of the custom opening text crawls for all of Arrhenius games I personally run. I consider it the unofficial main theme of Arrhenius and I love it. Thanks for letting me use it, Sam! youtu.be/Sy1y4Ev6QzQ

A friend of mine let me know this week that, despite my attempts at promoting it for the last year, he had no idea there was a companion EP for my #TTRPG, Arrhenius. So, in light of that and how lousy bsky is for discovery of new things, I present: ❄️ 10 Things You Might Not Know About Arrhenius: ❄️

Lo, when thine eyes doth fall upon the wealthy, thou shalt consume them, yet not before their riches have been stripped from them, saith the Lord.

Experimenting with a custom-built music visualizer. I'm really digging the look of this!

Studio Sunday! Working on an art project collab with another composer today.

I think one of the things about bluesky is that for a lot of its users, it represents a kind of retirement from social media. Like I’m tired and I want to get out of the game

Started working on the next album. The people wanted calm, given the terrible state of the world, so calm is what they shall get.

Is Uncharted Worlds Extended Version done? I think it might be. Now to get approval from Warner Chappell Music to release it! Should clock in at around 4:23, compared to the original's 1:14.

ok #gameaudio people of the PNW, I have an ask of you. Our Sonic Landscape is coming up and I'm looking to spread the word. I would greatly appreciate if you would share this news with another audio person to let them know about it. especially if they aren't on this site. www.oursoniclandscape.com

Stop what you're doing and go listen to the music of @micropolyphonia.bsky.social for a bit! "Ice Giants" might be my favorite - absolutely stunning. If you have a subwoofer, make sure it's ON! charlottet.bandcamp.com/album/voyager

@micropolyphonia.bsky.social I just wanted you to know that I always have a chuckle when I see your Bsky handle pop up. ❤️ BTW, I checked out some of your music (Voyager) - great stuff! Like, TRULY good. Please tell me you're contributing music to major projects.

And the award for most disappointing MIDI controller goes to... 🥁 the ROLI Seaboard M! Or ROLI in general. It's sad when such awesome music tech is spoiled by poor quality control.

This is from three years ago and I've somehow never seen this! 😂 youtu.be/KFRsBQI1DuY?...

Finally watching Arcane, and a few episodes into season 1. What a fantastic show, and so beautifully crafted, too! Every frame is a frickin' desktop wallpaper.

Update on my Uncharted Worlds extended version: turns out I have to finish it before I can even apply for permission from Warner Chappell to release it. So, back to work. Fingers crossed they say yes! 🤞

This is unexpectedly riveting for a commercial. Amazing dance performance by actor Margaret Qualley! www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoMq...

*cough laughs*

What a great GDC! l made some valuable connections on both the music and ReelCrafter fronts, and, as always, it was so great to see all my game audio friends! Hope to make a return and see you all again next year. On a flight home now, looking forward to some R&R this weekend!

Off to GDC! ✈️

Sup, old friend

there are a bunch of roles on my project (and others!) on careers.blizzard.com/global/en I don't come post them individually on here, but just a note to game devs - take a look! If you have (NDA-permitted) questions about the studio or the culture, mutuals feel free to hit me up.

Hey game audio pals, I'll be at the GDC Festival of Gaming next Tuesday through Thursday. Looking forward to seeing you all there, and feel free to hit me up via the usual messaging platforms if you'd like to meet up!

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I feel like it's gonna be a great year for music projects. 👀

Staring longingly at this headline.

This song is absolutely 🔥🔥 Great mix too!

Trump is a BITCH. With love from Chicago, Illinois: fuck you, you orange piece of shit! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/h...

Hi everyone! #GDC is a month away, and I'd like to remind any and all #gameaudio friends, that we have a Discord server for those attending the event, that allows people to touch base, and connect! discord.gg/sPEPBZfzjK

This one had me stumped for a bit! Ladders 9 🔄➖🪞🔄 🟢🟢🟢🟢🔴 playladders.com #playladders

Heck yeah! (And yeah, I'm gonna keep plugging my word game now and then) 😆 I just refined the scoring system and moved away from tracking individual mistakes and undos. Now it just keeps track of how many moves you make vs "par." Ladders 8 🔄➕🪞🔄 🟢🟢🟢🟢 playladders.com #playladders

Fellow Texas voters, today is a good day to check your voter registration status. Actually, good idea to check it monthly going forward. www.texas.gov/living-in-te...

Whew! My 8am brain was not ready for this one. Ladders 6 (no mistakes, 2 undos) 🔀➕🔄🪞 playladders.com #playladders

Peter Dinklage reading Amanda Gorman's poem about Renee Good, a fellow poet.

Easy! Too easy? Ladders 4 (perfect!) 🔄➕🔄🪞 playladders.com

I went and made my own word game. Give it a spin and lemme know what you think! Ladders 3 (perfect!) 🔄➕🪞🔄 playladders.com

Finally watching Yellowjackets. This is some of the best casting I've seen! All the kids look so much like their adult counterparts.

This is great but means nothing long-term if he isn’t prosecuted. He oversaw public executions, engaged in domestic terrorism and lied about it under oath, etc etc. If he gets away with it there will be no deterrent for the next guy who tries to do a white nationalist purge.

Really terrible times lately. This one's up to you, folks, because I could go either way. If I produced a new album, would you rather have a collection of: A) Chill, calming music B) Angry, energetic music Leaning a bit more toward (A), because most of us are already angry.

Hey peoples! When composers do track breakdowns, what do you like to see most? Just solo'ing various tracks/stems? Reverb setup? Something else?

@andychalk.bsky.social Hey, good to see you here!

Maybe it's just me, but Fallout Season 2 has been kinda meh. I'm four episodes in, and I feel like bailing.

ICE agents are, simply put, fucking clowns. Some observations from four days on the ground in Minneapolis. www.garbageday.email/p/we-re-all-...

I'm thrilled to be a part of the @unlockaudio.bsky.social team as the resident composer for the Futuristic & Cool studio! If you're a game studio of ANY size and need help realizing your sound and music vision, hit us up!

@youranoncentral.bsky.social You know what to do... www.fox9.com/news/ice-off...

My mind is goddamn blown by the Ableton Move. The biggest limitation is that you get four tracks max, but that aside, this thing is powerful and complex. A piece of music can be up to 128 bars in length(!!). You get two oscillators in a synth patch, ENVs, LFOs, parameter automation, effects..

Man, this thing is more powerful than I thought! Ableton recently added the ability to actually create your own synth patches from scratch. This thing is basically a portable, lite version of Ableton Live. I'm an instant fan!
