Releasing a mini-soundtrack this #bandcampfriday! From my work with @telescopegames.bsky.social on Lani’s Call/The Last Whale Singer, comes a mini OST featuring tracks used in both games. I loved working with Telescope and had a lot of fun making this 🐳🎶 juliebuchanan.bandcamp.com/album/lanis-...

so far for @lifebelow.net i have made 90 background tracks and i think we will have 180 in the end 😭

My working conditions today

cute little surprise today that all of a sudden my izotope products are no longer authorized?

My friend's game is out. 😌 You play a cat. It's a musical. You help your humans with their relationships. I hope you play it and stream it and tell her what you think. If you wishlist it there's a boost to findability.

Finally upgrading my c drive 🙏🏻 pls send thoughts and prayers

do i happen to have any game audio friends in dublin? going to be there very briefly next weekend! ✈️

not me eyeing a 1 year sound design contract in the UK except i'm 3 years towards permanent residence in germany and if I leave for a year it would reset 🤠

Hi to everyone new who followed me over the course of Gamescom! I had such a great time talking to all you wonderful folks stopping by our @indiearenabooth.de ✨ I am still looking for a job after Greta Sees Ghosts so if you know something, please let me know. Sharing is also greatly appreciated! 💜

game music is just just specializing in loops, like i can't remember the last time i wrote an ending to a piece of music

Releasing a small soundtrack ep in October 🐳

randomly remembered today how completely obsessed i was with battlestar galactica in like 2012, but let's be real, starbuck should have been a lesbian

Will be at #gamescom next week! If u see me come say hi 👋👼

I have lived a lot of life so far and still haven't found a reason or occasion to have a shouting match with my family in the middle of the street in front of kids, but that is a neighborhood past-time over where I live in Berlin 🤠

my favorite part of the mixing stage is when you think you're almost done but then your cleaned up mix reveals more mistakes and you need to go re-bounce stems to replace an entire section

Petitioning for an anti-smoking campaign in Germany because this shit is out of hand 🤠 didn’t realize second-hand smoke would be constant when I moved here

it has been 87 years since I've been able to share something I'm working on, but here is one finally!!!! 🎵🐟 have been really enjoying making so many watery sfx and music (and fish sounds of course)

in case y'all missed my hypertalk at #amaze2025 you can find it here 🐟 www.youtube.com/live/WPMqGRo...

Sadly I’m too tired and socially anxious to be at amaze in person. But! You can and should join the live stream right now (wherever you are) and enjoy @jbuaudio.bsky.social s HyperTalk about fish sounds right now 💖

👀!!!

Having some personal life crises but can’t forget to appreciate this perfect face, what would I do without these cats 🥲

oh hello! i am being laid off due to Thunderful restructuring and am temporarily free for ✨consultations✨ i love helping indie games find their voice: 🗺️ social & comms strategy ⏰ tiktok crash course 💌 copywriting & editing 📹 livestreams & trailers (he does it all !!) DMs are open, share pls 🔃

this is my first project i am working on where i have music banks that are 30-40mb already, and have to split them into separate banks to keep github happy 😭

Happy to share I’ll be at #ggbavaria this year speaking on a panel with game dev/audio peers! Hit me up if you’ll be in Munich ✨🔪

No one can stop me from using glitch2 on every single track I write 🔪🔪🔪

but whyyyyyyyyyy what did i do

i had the awesome opportunity to write awesome punk music for this year's Games with @wingsfund.me showcase, if you haven't checked out the show yet, you can find it here! Thanks to the team at Wings for bringing on board for this 🔥 www.youtube.com/live/t5TqvoT...

Ok I have cleaned literally everything, unplugged my hard drives, someone tell me what the whine is from

Me wondering what’s making my quiet pc so loud vs the one fan ice apparently neglected to clean for 7 years

If you haven’t already checked out my ep from December, now is a great time to do it 💜 juliebuchanan.bandcamp.com/album/homele...

I made my first?? engine sound via synth thanks to a great tutorial from Leon beilmann, who I think is not on Bluesky. I don’t envy y’all making engine sounds all the time. I much prefer creatures 😂

Added some dish soap and corn starch to get some thicker resistance for water foley 🌊💧

We’re all officially done with X now right ?? I don’t wanna fuck with nazis

can anyone explain to me why everyone in germany does performance as a hobby - it's either theater, or improv, or choir, or musical theater, i had no idea that intense performance hobbies were such a cultural staple here but i think i have more friends here involved in one than i have that aren't

is anyone else feeling the just absolute dread of the compulsion to stay on social media for work and social purposes but constantly having to acknowledge they're almost all run by capitalist overlords manipulating us into staying in an emotionally abusive relationship with them or is that just me

I know i'm late to the party but how about meta's new hate speech policy allowing users to call lgbtq+ people mentally ill 🤠

good news for #bandcampfriday, my homeless ep is FINALLY here. a collection of tracks i worked on in the last couple years plus one bonus track called Chill which i feel absolutely unchill about but i'm giving it new life juliebuchanan.bandcamp.com/album/homele...

ok now i need to buy a new gpu for dev work in Unreal and Meta Quest 3, suggestions??

I recently bought new studio monitors and a vacuum and I’ve just opened the vacuum first so that tells you where I’m at in life

Where are my gear heads 🎧 - I finally need to buy some monitors for my studio but it’s a pretty small room. Suggestions?? I used to have Yamaha hs8’s .. or 7? Would like a bit of an upgrade

game audio life

hello dear #gameaudio friends, i may need a bit of sound design support this winter on an upcoming project so i'm putting this into the void to see who may be around 👼 would be especially happy to hear from any of my mutuals (or old twitter mutuals) - dm me with your most up to date reels 🙌

anyone have a good list of BIPOC instrumentalists who do session recording? I posed this question in the past on Twitter and got a lot of responses but not a lot of nonwhite musicians. Please recommend folks whose work you like!

I’m a lesbian so I’m already practicing the 4B movement 🙂‍↔️😌

Trying to work with a clingy princess #catsofgameaudio

✨🎧🔈Hi y’all, I have some availability for game audio work from mid-summer and onwards 🚀 🎵 🌈sharing appreciated 💜 Links to my work below⏬

Today I learned that my work situation is more dire than I thought it was a week ago, so if y’all could keep an eye out for gigs for your pal Megan that’d be a real treat 🌝 I don’t just do games btw! I’ve done music for films, TV, animations, podcasts, commercials, art installations… I love it all

it is 2023 and game studios/publishers still believe they need to own the copyright and soundtrack rights for our music, it's simply not true

being a game composer in 2023 is just checking blindly in the internet void every couple months to see if any updates have been made to music law that make rights and soundtrack negotiation less of a headache
