I generally stay away from talking about the state of the world because no one gives a shit what I think, but this pretty much sums it up right now youtu.be/VZe1ObvcfrQ

All the good band names are taken...

Oh hey, that trailer sounds a lot like some music I would do if I was doing a trailer for a game (and also doing most of the music for said game). You should probably give it a wishlist, it's a fun one! store.steampowered.com/app/3778900/...

I've never been a big coffee/caffeine person, but I bought a Keurig knockoff for my studio. I just got into work and made a cup with some fancy vanilla stuff and I gotta say, I think the whole of humanity is onto something here.

Silksong has 10k reviews on steam about 10 hours after release. If I'm doing my math correctly, that comes out to $736billion for Team Cherry

Happy Silksong day to all who celebrate. I will be humming the map guy song all day until I get home. Hm hm hm hm HMM hm, hmm hm hm hmmmm hm

New music! Who like industrial cyberpunk? youtu.be/7chcIOA8Pa4

New music to listen to that's also available for licensing at my pond5 site. Custom commissions: [email protected] youtu.be/S68Da3SMIb4?...

Happy Wacken Weekend to all who celebrate www.magentamusik.de/wacken-2025-...

I had to deal with an AI chatbot today and it went about as well as you'd expect.

Working on more big fantasy stuff today

If you ever get the urge to really feel something, you should put on Colors by BTBAM and clear your schedule for the next hour. Almost 20 years on and it still gives me chills every time I listen to it

This is by far the meanest thing I've recorded youtu.be/sjggQ29AuIY

Some really nice words by some friends

I grieve a friend, Roberta Vaughan, who passed on today. She commissioned this piece from me: 'Colossal Cave'. When I look at it now, I think about how perhaps her spirit continues to adventure on, somewhere in eternity. Either way, this little bit of beauty simply wouldn't exist without her. 💔

One of the bedrocks of our community is in a bad way and Josh Mandel has set up a gofundme to help ease the burden. The first time I ever met Roberta it was like we had been close friends for decades already. And she is like that with every person she meets. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-to-...

All of these videos are great, but this one pulls no punches in the "calling out BS" department

Final Fantasy Stranger of Paradise might be the perfect game. There's the scene where you go hard and walk out of the room dramatically while blasting nu-metal on your phone speaker, there's the time you body slam a griffon by the wing, and the time you body slam Sleipnir by the neck.

I've begun distributing my licensable music to all the major platforms, so if you're wanting some video-game-esque music to listen to, just search my name on your service of choice! Lots more on the way open.spotify.com/album/00UM45...

Went and made it official... again (long story short, make sure you keep important information like your ascap ID in a safe location...)

That incredibly unsettling feeling of seeing a giant centipede crawling on your wall behind your desk and then it disappearing.

Running a little summer sale over at my pond5 site if you're looking for some music to license. All of my tracks there are just $5 right now! Of course, I'm available for custom tracks as well, just shoot me a message! www.pond5.com/artist/jonpa...

I can't believe I waited this long to play my first Tex Murphy game. This guy is great

Did you all know that you can hire me? Check out dorkbrainstudios.com to hear more samples and feel free to email me at [email protected] and let's make something cool together. Mixing/mastering/composing/session work, you name it

I've been wanting to do a cover of Hyperballad for 25 years, and when Sarah Kelley said she'd be willing to sing on it, I knew I had to do it now, so give it a listen! youtu.be/MNjbpqK3mmU

A warrior takes sword in hand, clasping a gem to his heart

Tech Priest from the top rope with the burn

I may have a problem... Praise to the Omnissiah!

Happy Festival of Skulls to all who celebrate!

Buddy loaded the last few days of the band group chat into AI to analyze and I found my new bio.

I never realized how cozy of a game Lord Of The Rings Online is. I've played it for 12 hours now and am just running around doing hobbitsing things like delivering pies, walking around with old pigs, and meeting fools of Tooks who are up to hijinks. Haven't even left the Shire. 10/10 would recommend

Maybe this one will appreciate when a dance troupe does a routine to the tune of Megalovania a bit more than the last one

The new pope is from Chicago? My mind is a blur of "sassage" and "couple two tree dogs" jokes.

Just picked up a new synth (Pigments 6) and it's my first one with a granular option and... this is a game changer. I can't believe I survived for this long without it.

Finished Old Skies by @wadjeteyegames.bsky.social the other day and it was outstandingly done. Top notch stuff from start to finish. Also, one of the first names you come across is "R. Foster", and my head canon has that as an as-of-yet-undiscovered Beneath a Steel Sky homage.

Here's another one you should definitely pick up

How can something be so innocent, yet so nuclear?

Here's another teaser track from an upcoming game being developed by @asparageeky.bsky.social I'm doing the soundtrack for. This one features Elizabeth Bonn Wilfert on Violin and Viola! youtu.be/mLEXTbgOYqE

I don't get to transcribe parts like this for stuff I wrote very often. Exciting stuff to share soon(tm)!

You probably already know this, but you should go buy this

Behold, Growl Baron. If anything happens to him I will murder everyone in this room and then myself.

This is going to be a good one
