Finishing up some mixes for a game over the past few weeks, and for years I've had a tradition of doing the "car test" at the end to listen to the tracks outside of my studio. This "composition book" (pun intended) was perfect for taking notes.

Happy New Year! With having some projects wrapping up this month, I am looking for more #gameaudio work. If anyone is in need of music composition, studio recordings (folk instruments), audio editing, or anything related please let me know! Likes and Reposts appreciated! www.tommynorrismusic.com

Looking back, It’s been a wonderful year full of music. I’m so grateful for all of the projects I’ve been able to work on in the past year, including 7 #gamemusic projects (5 unannounced!) and lots of shows with my band, The Barefoot Movement. Onward to 2026! I hope everyone has a great one!

Best Puzzle Game Trailer I enjoy the quiet simplicity of this @outpourgame.bsky.social trailer. It takes its time showing you the core puzzle mechanic and then teases more of what the game has. Greatly benefits from beautiful art and a fun twist on the sokobond genre!

Outpour, a game I'm composing the music for, just got a new visual update! Can't wait to share more of what we've been cooking! #gamemusic #indiedev #gamedev #gaming #indiegames

On the road again playing some shows this week with The Barefoot Movement! Come say hey! 12/7 - Eddie's Attic 12/8 - Dee's 12/9 - Harrell Performing Arts

Decided it was time to fix the gargoyle's horns (and outline shader) to match the 2D art

Steam page art update for Outpour! Revamped announcement trailer and store page screenshots coming soon as well. Art by @ bungeeart on Instagram. #indiedev #gameart #puzzlegame

Tracking some upright today for a game project. My fingers aren't happy! #gameaudio #gamemusic

Working on the final piece for an unannounced game today: The Main Theme! Fellow game composers, when do you prefer to write your main themes? Towards the beginning or end? #gameaudio #gamemusic #gamedev

Good to be back home in the autumn air with my family, cats, and a new orchestration book that just came in the mail! Happy Halloween 🎃

Had a great time at my first GameSoundCon! So wonderful to see old friends and make new ones. Now back home to Raleigh to rest up!

Excited to be attending my first GameSoundCon next week. If you're going, feel free to reach out and let's hang! #gameaudio #gamedev

Had a great time over the weekend at my first @oakcityindie.bsky.social ! Thanks so much to TIAC and all the volunteers for making it happen!

Final Fantasy Tactics is one of my favorite games of all time, and I especially love the music by Hitoshi Sakimoto ! To celebrate the remake being released today, here is a cover of the "Protagonist's Theme" on classical guitar. #FFTactics

Every time I go to record guitar this happens. (But I love it) 😺

Excited to share a little sneak peak of the music I'm composing for Outpour, a 3D puzzle game being developed by @drooshayne.bsky.social ! Check out more about the game here: store.steampowered.com/app/3615290/... #gameaudio #gamemusic #composer #gamedev #indiedev #puzzles

Some flowing water to relax to #gamedev #indiedev

I've been busy all summer using this Taylor 412ce Nylon to write and record for 5 different game projects. Can't wait to share some music soon! #gameaudio #gamedev #gamemusic #composer #indiedev

Outpour is looking better and better! Great work Conrad Justin and @drooshayne.bsky.social Can't wait to hopefully share some music soon! #indiedev #IndieGameDevs #gamemusic #gamedev #gameart #composer

Recording some vocals with Noah today for an upcoming game I'm working on!

Here's another track from Crab Blast - The level theme! I enjoyed recording all of the different guitars for this one. Check out the game here: www.meaningfullgames.com/crab-blast

Everyone, our Kickstarter funding for our FFVII string quartet album project is sitting around 27% with 18 days to go! I’m incredibly excited about the support we’ve gotten so far, but we need a new surge of momentum to achieve our funding goal. Check us out and back Heroes of Midgar today!!

I really enjoyed watching the #BackToTheBeginning concert celebrating Ozzy and Black Sabbath over the weekend! Here is a #tbt video from 2022 where I covered the guitar solo from Mr. Crowley on the mandolin.

Crab Blast, a new match 3 mobile game I wrote the music for, is out now! Every puzzle you beat helps fund a cancer charity, so if you're looking for a new casual game to try out check it out: www.meaningfullgames.com/crab-blast/ I'll post the music later this week!

Picked up this 1900s bowlback mandolin a few weeks ago. There's no label, but I think it's either an Oscar Schmidt or Lyon and Healy. It is in great playable condition for a 100+ year old instrument!

Volume On! Excited to be writing the music Outpour, a fun 3D block-pushing puzzle game made by my friend Andrew Leal! Check out the trailer below and Wishlist on Steam here: store.steampowered.com/app/3615290/... #gameaudio #indiegame #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamedev

No more practice for me today

I recently found this handmade #pokemon calendar that I made back in 1999 at my parent's house. I remember spending SO much time on this. Glad I went into music and not art! 😂

🎶🕹️ Introducing the Gamepipe!  The world’s first bagpipe controller for Legends of Awen!  Blow to cast spells, squeeze to attack, and let the music guide your battles.  Mastering it? Just a few years of practice!🎻⚔️

Hello, friends. Please take a moment to read and amplify.

Google randomly decided to show me everywhere I've been in the past 9 years on this map yesterday. It's been one heck of a ride!

Back home and recovering from #gdc the best way I know how (Oreo Mint #Cookout Shake!)

That's a wrap for #GDC! Thanks so much to all the awesome and inspiring talks by my #gameaudio friends. Excited to return home and get back to writing music! It was so great to meet new friends and to hang with old ones. See you next year!

I have arrived! Let's meet up. #gdc #gameaudio #gdc2025

Excited to be going back to #GDC next week! I'll be there all week, so hit me up if you want to meet up. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones! #gamedev #gameaudio #GDC2025

As 2025 approaches, I'm super thankful for all the wonderful projects that have come my way this past year: I wrote music for 5 games, 1 audiobook, wrote a book with Mel Bay ,released a new album with my band, and became a father! Hope everyone has a peaceful New Year. Here's to 2025!

No matter what time I get up, My cat seems to know exactly when my alarm is going to go off and proceeds to scream at me for food exactly 30 minutes before.

I bought my six month old daughter her first #pokemon card from a vending machine. "This will be her spirit Pokemon." I told myself.... Can I get a reroll?
