SPACE WARLORD BABY TRADING SIMULATOR RELEASES NEXT WEEK, JANUARY 29TH ON STEAM! 📈

Excited to share that I’m composing the original soundtrack for CaravanGuard — a co-op rogue-lite action RPG for up to 7 players. A full ~1 hour original soundtrack will release alongside the game! Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2899150/...

Totally a WIP of course - but one thing to know is that the world in Duet of Sonance is about to be pretty massive with a large range of biomes, cities, and dungeons to explore. There's a lot of lore and things to discover along the way ~ Here's to an environmental collage 🗺️

Sometimes I feel like social media isn’t meant for me. It’s like being louder online is rewarding. I seem to always ask myself that if I suddenly stop posting will I be invisible or seem like I’m not active anymore? I really have moments where I want to delete all social apps off my phone lol.

Super early alpha playtest of Duet of Sonance for OC Indies and IndieCade this past week! It's pretty unbelievable! It was exciting to hear a lot of great feedback for the first time from complete strangers! Super awesome and can't wait to keep building for this project! 😁

went back and made a new secret boss track for NUCLEAR THRONE after 10 years 👀 jukiokallio.com/r/nuclear-th... (play the game now in 60fps it's really uncanny and GOOD)

Years ago, I did an impromptu field recording at Gasworks Park, striking and bowing large metals in this defunct power plant. Finally edited it into a FREE sample library! (requires full version of #Kontakt 6) Link below – enjoy, and Happy Holidays! #gameaudio

I’ve literally been drawing this map for like 3 weeks trying to figure out zone scale and geography, but I’m feeling pretty good about the result!!

fade away (experimenting a bit with my vocals~)

As I play through Silent Hill F I really understand Hinako and her issues with societal standards. Within the story, she struggles against hyper feminine values forced upon her. As a black man in America, I feel like hyper masculine standards are forced upon my life, even when I don’t identify.

One thing best things I’ve learned over the years as a music composer is that erasing material and starting over from scratch is one of the best things to do. It’s never a waste of time to write something bad so you can realize something better can be created.

rainy days puts me in a fantasy… haven’t really shared any new music in a while so sometimes it’s refreshing writing for the enjoyment of it

Writing some fun stuff lately ~

a rainy day in LA is perfect for such a an intimate concert setting, a magical moment rather. Had a blast playing piano

honestly the studio ghibli AI needs to go

Do your civil duty 🙏🏽

This month has been a lot of work, but happy with the results 🥲

Started making some basic character portraits (finally lol)

Battle system feeling a lot more smooth now with some techniques and damage numbers 💥🎻

After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs. I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild. RTs appreciated 🙏

still very early in development, but 3 hours of content is a huge milestone. Feeling like things are flowing well so far ☺️

only a couple more weeks until my GameSoundCon talk! it's a short 30 minute microtalk about music design, discussing all pros to having a music designer early and other cool lil bits

my daily work stance

D.A.N. Band is super underrated and I will forever love their song Chance. 水平線に見惚れてたおれは 風に置いてかれた 冷たい雨にうなだれるおれに チャンスはもうない　🎵

finally the music attacks 🎶💥 can be heard properly! excited to expand on this aaaah 🤩

dev log #2 for duet of sonance is up! There’s a LOT of new updates and improvements (and a little sneak peak music 🎵)

ANOTHEREAL is HERE at the @vangamegarden.bsky.social all weekend !! come check out the demo, take a little card, and take a photo with Astra & Umbra (art by @fiskki.bsky.social ✨)

singing and playing a little mareux tonight 🌙

　 . ★⋆. ALBUM RELEASE . ★⋆. stutter is out now ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ 🖇️ ⋆｡「 linktr.ee/laryssaokada 」 this record is a reflection of my innermost thoughts & pains over this past year. my god it's been a long one. but despite the world's horrors, we must persevere & create art. we must maintain our whimsy!

Getting laid off this morning from my job at Berklee was NOT what I was anticipating this morning. Disheartening

working on my first AoE attack visual effect 💥

Here's Tiago Rodrigues, creator of the Constance game soundtrack, talking about the game and his work. 🖌️🎨 Feeling the Metroidvania fever? Check out the Constance demo and stream the first EP. Listen now: buff.ly/0orE4yc 🎮 @constancegame.bsky.social @tiagomcrodrigues.bsky.social

but i know if i hold on, we’ll find a way sanctuary’s still a ways, away alas, here we go here’s a little mantra that’s been heavy on my heart for a while now. this one is called ‘alas here we go ft. @thronocrigger.bsky.social ‘ off my upcoming album stutter 🤍 9.26 !

Ayyyye 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️❤️

Went through a whole overhaul from pure 2D to 2.5D for better lighting and shading. I'm liking the results so far ~

designed some trees and added wind turbines in the back 🌬️

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

sneak peak battle sprite work ~

Looking back on it, #PacificDrive was a fun but very unusual project to work on - writing the individual pieces went by pretty quickly, but creating each "instrument" from scratch could take weeks of recording, editing, programming, and looking for happy accidents out in the real world! #gamemusic

Hey ya'll! So I was brave enough to start a little dev log journey for @duetofsonancegame.bsky.social that I've been in the works of. Def not making the logs a priority but more as little check ins : www.danthonimusic.com/blog/2025/8/...

early 2000s ps1-ps2 era dream

haven't posted small little compositions in a while and that's long overdue ~

"We...don't have another choice..." Something dark is slowly creeping it's way into the city from the shadows...

The game audio and video game composer community is pretty awesome I’m ngl. There’s so much support and love for not only the music but for each other. Super grateful to be a part of it. 🤍

Also - I know times are a little rough for the game industry right now so if anyone wants to chat about the industry, composition topics, or want to just have a coffee please let me know! I’m here to help in any way I can!

I’ve been a bit quiet on social media but I can confirm that I am writing music for some cool things coming ✨✨✨
