You can wishlist Highway Noir on Steam now! I maaay have had a hand in this one...

Hey Germany, you up to something? 🤔😈

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Yet another track has made it across the 10K line on Spotify! This time it's "The Green Children". This is one of the last tracks I wrote for Kynseed. I drew a dash of inspiration from Alexandre Desplat for this one: open.spotify.com/track/3LsJwg... #vgm

I wish I had the stems of both songs. I could do some really cool mix-ups between these two songs! rave.dj/T75cDSbWwGVxjA

Another track on my Kynseed album went past 10K plays on Spotify. I'm forever grateful to my listeners! The track was inspired by a scene from The Wicker Man which the game draws much inspiration from. The inspiration: youtu.be/-_-sHA_SQBI?... The result: open.spotify.com/track/4fiGFD...

Another track has made it across the 10K mark on Spotify! This time it's Evergreen. There's a flute in there that was intended to be played by its mystical shop keeper that you could hear from afar... open.spotify.com/track/760DqP...

This album is amazing! For all the reasons! workwithindies.bandcamp.com/album/compos...

My music is being listened to in Hamamatsu, home of Classicaloids! *Life goal: achieved!*

www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2LI... Brilliant!

I think that at the heart of media music lies one core ability: Can you create a musical 'word' or 'sentence' that can be intuitively understood? One that can be taught in one or two scenes. If you can create any 'word' with music that way, you're good.

I used to dislike how much the composer world is navigated by having random encounters with random people. But now I quite appreciate that about it. You meet each other as just human beings first. Not business partners. Get to know who you're going in the pressure cooker with.

It's finally time for "Dreamy Day" to make it past the 10.000 plays on Spotify. It's the track that started it all, the one where they said I got it right. The one where I knew I could do it. open.spotify.com/track/6fvNsW...

She's absolutely right: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzDH...

Just as you stop speaking when you are done saying what you wanted to say, I feel a piece of music should end when it is done conveying its ideas.

I love that the modular synth system I've gathered over time is unique to me. It fits my way of thinking. It's got some fairly specialized modules in there with quite specific functions but even then it's a hugely versatile system. Modular synth has changed my path as a composer.

👋EU people: There's a citizen petition calling on the EU to ban "conversion therapy" to "cure" LGBTQ+ folks, a process people who've experienced it describe as "torture". It needs about 5x its current votes to be considered but is especially in need of voters from: Spain, Ireland, Slovenia, Belgium

While I was abroad, another track sprinted past 10K plays on Spotify. I'm ever amazed at the longevity these tracks have shown and am so grateful people are still enjoying them. Link in comments.

Happy Holidays everyone! I hope this year has given you good things, and loved ones to share them with. It is a strange time to be alive, and in such times we need each other. Extend each other a helping hand where you can and we will make it through anything. Kindness matters!

According to Spotify, the biggest concentration of listeners I have is in Berlin. Hey, Berlin, I love you right back! 🫶

For those interested in seeing what composing for orchestra looks like on a computer... (notice the track number I encircled. THAT's why it takes roughly an hour per minute to compose for orchestra)

The song Rivermoor from my Kynseed album on Spotify has made it past 10.000 plays! I'm ever grateful for everyone who's still listening to my music 2 years after release! I never thought there were going to be so many of you! Thank you! Link in comments...

I am SO happy that I went into modular synths. Every day it grows on me even more.

Ok, this is quite the experiment but I've uploaded a very experimental modular synth track and want to ask you all: If I made an entire album of this stuff, would that interest you? soundcloud.com/user-2753589...

I'm finally working on pop music again. It's been so long!! I love that I get to do not only game music or classical or jazz, I get to do a bit of everything. Variety is what keeps me going!

One of the tracks from my Kynseed album has passed 10K plays on spotify! It's the most popular track by a decent margin. Thanks to everyone who has listened to my music! I love you all. 🙏❤️ open.spotify.com/track/1aUEVs...

The more complex a machine, the more potential points of error there are. And my modular system is getting VERY complex. So I really have to calculate extra time for troubleshooting ahead of when I need it to be fully working!

Got any thoughts on this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OWl...

The kick-off to the Italy project has been fantastic. To play together with such amazing talent is pure joy! I look forward to turning it into a series of concerts! Here's some mementos...

My modular collection is now packed up and on it's way to Italy. In the coming week I'll reunite with it there. This is going to be a most interesting week...

BandcampFriday strikes again! Please have a look: ticetunes.bandcamp.com/album/kynsee...

I get to try my hand at voice acting today and, honestly... It's a TON of fun!!

3 New modules arrived today. A Vortex, Panharmonium, and Aurora. I have BIG plans for this machine...

Bandcamp Friday is upon us again! Check out my Kynseed album: ticetunes.bandcamp.com/album/kynsee...

With my new case finally here, I have a decent chunk of leftover space! Sadly the Shapeshifter I wanted to add is proving hard to get, so I need a good alternative if I can't find one soon. I also still need an Aurora and completely need to re-think the layout...

Question for my composer colleagues: If you had to write down fully a-rhythmic music, how would you put that onto a page? How would you visually describe when someone should play?|

I finally have the go-ahead on a project that's been a dream for me since childhood! I can't say much about it yet but things are gonne be AMAZING!

Hey music folks, does anyone have a spare Intellijel Shapeshifter module (preferably close to the Netherlands) they wish to sell? Please get in touch!

I wish everyone a fantastic new year! May it have opportunities for change. May it give you hope, friendship, memories, and creativity. Spend this year wisely, it'll never repeat itself in all of time.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you can spend it around loved ones, in safety and prosperity. I hope you find optimism there, and kindness, and most of all: hope itself. Be well!

Oh, I made it to 'runner-up'! I truly enjoy your competitions, @awintory.bsky.social! Sadly this new one comes only days before I leave for Japan for a month. I can try to put something together in these few days, though. Regardless, thanks for continuing to do these! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpzR...

Another demo successfully delivered today, the last one of the year. Can't wait to bring it all to a live audience next year! I'm so glad I get to combine my love for music with my love for photography on this project!

When a piece of music written for film or games becomes popular, regardless of whether it was written as a leitmotiv, it BECOMES a cultural leitmotiv. And the composer didn't decide what the leitmotiv means, the culture did. So from then on, the composer becomes co-composer.

I wasn't imagining it, my colleague is feeling it too. It's especially strong at specific points in the room. He still absolutely loved the demo, though. Perhaps specifically because of this effect. Whatever makes 'em happy... 😅

I've been experimenting with modular synth sounds that are extremely low frequency & I seem to have stumbled upon a sound that has a hugely oppressive physical effect on my head. Am I just imagining it or can really low frequencies actually feel like your head is under pressure?

I wanted to keep this account strictly music-oriented, but no. Being a decent human being comes first, so: Free Palestine, stop israel's genocide. If you don't like it, you know where the 'unfollow' button is. Humanity before profits.

Geez, I haven't played my EWI for a while and... my mouth hurts! I really need to keep up practice! 😳

For my current project I'm getting a much closer look at navigating European organizations for the arts and... oh wow, it's complicated! I'm so glad I can depend on someone who knows their way a LOT better around that world than I do!
