Just finished "Tales of Kenzera: Zau" from @surgentstudios.bsky.social and I loved the journey!! The story, the characters, the gameplay, the amazing OST (wonderfully composed by Nainita Desai), the art, the Echos, the folklore that made me want to know more about Bantu culture! #TalesOfKenzera

Could be fun!

I recently realised that the Artists Testimonial page on my website needed an update and, seeing a wall of male composer/producer faces staring back at me, decided to contact 3 of my favourite female composers to ask them why they like using The Unfinished sounds. www.theunfinished.co.uk/artists/

Happy International Womens Day! So many amazing women are composing or have composed music for video games. Let us know your favourite themes composed by women. #VGM ❤️🎮🎶

Honoured to have received 2 noms for the ASCAP 2025 Composers Choice Awards. NAUTILUS is up for TV Theme & TALES OF KENZERA: ZAU for Video Game Score. Congrats to my fellow nominees and thanks to my ASCAP friends & colleagues. Members can vote by 7th March: ascap.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

SCL nominee, @nainitadesai.bsky.social, speaks on composing for the duality of love and grief. She is nominated for the Outstanding Original Score for Interactive Media for her work on the Tales of Kenzera: Zau. RP @_the_SCL #thescl #sclny #sclnashville #sclawards #nainitadesai #ZAUTheGame

They were one of the most successful boybands of all time – but behind-the-scenes, conflict, rivalry, betrayal and tragedy led to their falling apart. It was great to create the score for BOYZONE: NO MATTER WHAT. A huge thanks to my music team. You can catch the 3-part series now on Sky & Now TV

Still having a pinch-me moment because Zau has been nominated for the SCL Award for OUTSTANDING ORIGINAL SCORE FOR INTERACTIVE MEDIA I’d love it if my SCL friends and colleagues would consider voting for the score. Final voting closes on Monday 3rd Feb and good luck to everyone else nominated
