New season of Beards, Cats, And Indie Game Audio has started! First episode is talking with @audiogre.bsky.social when we were at GameSoundCon last year. It was not as quiet as I hoped but it was real nice to sit outside for this :) #gameaudio indiegameaudio.podbean.com/e/beards-cat...

✨My first newsletter is officially out!✨ I talk about some tips to implement before you start a career in freelancing. And don't worry, it's never too late to implement any of these! tinyurl.com/yr3fnscf

Some new music to start the year. A couple days later than my usual first release of the year but still on track for more music. Till other projects percolate, enjoy this single. mattesque.bandcamp.com/album/yester...

lately instead of endlessly not being able to decide what to watch at night I just end up playing a stream of Kings Of Convenience videos.

So Dopamine last november was great but finding 2 Robyn songs coming out today was an even bigger treat!

so I still hate editing my own podcast, listening to yourself talk sucks, but this interview I did back at GSC last year was so fun. could really chat with @audiogre.bsky.social for ages. first episode of the new season of Beards, Cats, And Indie Game Audio out on the 15th. #gameaudio

playing a show on Jan 24.

Making plans for this years. Some new projects in the works.

When I interviewed Spinal Tap and Marty DiBergi this summer, none of them broke character, for the whole hour. Except Rob Reiner, once, losing it when Michael McKean's David St Hubbins talked about minimalism. I didn't use this in the feature and hadn't published any audio, but this is joyful.

Canada made weird tv shows because it was all being done with government funded art grant money so they fell in this wacky middle ground between “shoestring budget” and “no expectation to generate shareholder value” which is really the best way to make art

Inspired by Nathan Smith's Foley Flinger 1000, my dad made a really nice wood version. Can't wait to make some whooshes now :)

Finished up a new track. mattesque.bandcamp.com/track/this-l...

A new sect may have been formed to capture the "whispers" in the woods for @ironwood.bsky.social's Pacific Drive expansion👁️‍🗨️ Thanks to the vancouver indie camp members, and uh sorry to the campers across the lake. ⛺ *Use headphones for a binaural experience

Making myself a black and white version of Constantine. Possibly a new hobby.

Some of the Halloween going on in our neighborhood.

feel like we've got a reverse Ship of Theseus sort of situation here. we're slowly working towards a true Kit Kat with each Kit Kat that's been made.

Newbie freelancers, I have question for you! Im putting together a doc with a buncha tools, thoughts + resources in regards to being a freelancer in video games. What are your Qs? What did you wish people would talk about more? Im focusing a lot on financial realities. RTs appreciated!

Hey all! I'm doing a quick study about how people use metaphors to describe sound. If you can spare 5-10 minutes, please take my survey! carletonu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... Thank you! #sounddesign

so GameSoundCon, that's coming up soon. I'll be speaking on 2 round tables this year. Hope to see some of you there.

so I want to do an art sound project. I've seen some great installations lately. now I don't have the means/connections to make an installation (at least not yet) but as a start I'd like to do a software thing. fairly obviously I'm pretty good with Fmod and can create something within that.

It's a month late (cause I had the flu to end all flus) but here's the latest #BCAIGA episode! indiegameaudio.podbean.com/e/beards-cat... chatted with the wonderful this time @markkilborn.bsky.social #gameaudio

who do I know (well or vaguely) that will be at Gamesoundcon that might want to do an interview/be a guest on Beards, Cats, And Indie Game audio? (looking for new guests more than returning guests) #gameaudio

I had the flu to end all flues last month so I missed getting my podcast out. it's coming out this month and just realized I losing a bunch of days to edit it for the holiday. instead of working ahead tonight I'm just adding more minutes I have to edit each day to my shorter number of days I have.

Did a pretty good talk last night @fullindie.bsky.social Reinforcing Your Game Audio - Pro Wrestling Style. was fun. couldn't see my slide notes so had to run blind. forgot a couple things. but was good. possibly was just an excuse to talk about wrestling :)

I know you've been blasted by music this bandcamp friday but here's another album to consider mattesque.bandcamp.com/album/you-fo...

I finally got around to pulling my music off of Spotify (and getting alternatives in place for kids to listen with) If you want to support my music it's still on bandcamp (and some other services until I decide if i move from soundrop) jayfernandes.bandcamp.com

call me when you get home is out now! there are times when the loved ones in our lives have arcs we cannot walk alongside; but that doesn’t mean we don’t wish for them to get home safely. ♡ visuals created in collaboration w @umisida.bsky.social & @aletiune.bsky.social ! 🔗 linktr.ee/laryssaokada
