Musicians, get involved! A chance to be involved in music making in a super supportive community. WIP, trying things out, seeing what you can come up with in a week is a joy (I need to post more wips 😅 as I rarely ‘finish’ a track these days!)

A new adventure begins, simple on the surface but full of promise. Compose the music of the first level in a video game; a beginning that invites the player in and sets the journey in motion! This week's theme, #FirstLevel!

I actually get to play a non cover band gig today 🥹

Something doesn’t quite belong. It stands apart from everything else, drawing quiet attention. The surroundings feel familiar, but one element disrupts the balance. This weeks theme, #OutOfPlace!

QTP with a video game that transports you back to your childhood. This was the game that got me interested in video games when I first played it at Showbiz Pizza way back when. 🍕

⚠️ Palantir released what it describes as a vision for “The Technological Republic” in which it argues AGAINST democratic and cultural pluralism and FOR militaristic supremacy enforced by a technocratic elite who produce AI weaponry. These points stand out:

Deep among the trees, a hidden camp waits. A fire crackles while plans are whispered. Maybe there are thieves lurking in the hideout, or perhaps rebels? Write something that fits this weeks theme, #ForestHideout!

Ancient stone towers rest beneath silent waves. Fish drift through halls where people once lived. Compose the music fitting of a forgotten city below the sea!

This woman is facing a copyright claim for her own music by an AI company that took her youtube page and copied her.

With your backpack on, you’re off on an adventure to discover the wonders of the world. Write a song that tells the story of your adventure.

I met Sam Kieth when I worked at Home Depot in Rancho Cordova. He was buying pegboard. Had him sign a piece of receipt paper that I keep in my Maxx #1 comic bag. That weird memory is kinda perfect for my favorite comic creator. Maxx btw was my first exposure to feminist theory & therapy. RIP GOAT 😭

Getting spicy this week, I see

*NEW THEME* Get out your guitars for some pop punk or, on the contrary, to serenade the one you secretly love in the classroom next door. In any case, the theme is high school, so let's go!

The new theme is Science. Make some scientific music, no matter what scientific music sounds like in your head! Whether it's sound textures of bubbles or a mathematical sequence for your song structure, have fun with it!

The upcoming stg I made some music for has been getting some press in the jp media and has a release date too (April 9th!!) I’ve heard that the demo is also on switch eshop! Brave Rounds is gonna be awesome, so happy that @playshiftgames.bsky.social got me on board 🤘 gamebiz.jp/news/421743

This week, we're looking at #ModalScales! Choose any modal scale that isn't the regular major or minor (church, arabic, jazzy....) and make a piece with it! More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(m... Tag and post by Monday 2/3, and remember to listen and feedback other submissions, too.

I did, in fact, come home to my wife listening to a 10 hour video of scholastic utopian music 🐼 🦒 🦓 🦜 🌍 ✨

Okay Kewpie mayo fans, I finally tried it and you know what? Your obsession is entirely justified. My sriracha mayo went from pretty good to better than restaurant immediately lol

Anyone trying some new things in the realm of #psychoacoustics?

Dude, Starfleet Academy is a blast

Cinematic Djent 🤘

Lean into #psychoacoustics for this week's challenge! Pick one element (or more) of how we perceive sound and incorporate it intentionally into your piece. Play with space, volume, frequencies... Shephard tone, anyone? Hopefully we'll learn something new. Post & tag by Mon 23/2! #composer

Doing this mandated reporter training and a lot of this is unfortunately very familiar 🫤

Last day of the #JazzHands challenge, but there's still time!

Painted myself into a mixing corner, and am not sure I got myself out, but hey. At least I used #3TimeSignatures! (At the end I realised I'd done 5/4 - 7/8 and 3/8 cycling through each bar - which really only amounts to a 5/4. So maybe it was cheating...?) @musicweeklies.bsky.social #composer

This week’s challenge is #JazzHands: Make a piece inspired by showtunes and ending in a grand finale! Bring out your flashiest self and shake those hands! And remember to leave feedback to others, too.❤️ Post and tag your glitz by Monday 16/2! #composer #musicproduction

If you need something fun to do with your weekend, there's still time to have a go at this week's #3TimeSignatures challenge! 🔥 #composer #musicproduction #musicproducer

If you like my work and want to support me a bit, it would mean a lot if you picked up an album from Bandcamp today. Every sale helps make it feel like I'm just a little bit closer to actually doing music for a living. Thank you! #bandcamp #BandcampFriday hollandalbright.bandcamp.com/album/2025

I was super honoured to be asked to make some music for the new playshift games’ shmup/stg ‘Brave Rounds’. Their last game ´Hellblasters’ was awesome so I’m expecting good things! Their last game demo is up now on steam - check it! store.steampowered.com/app/4086510/... #stg #shmup #braverounds

Pics from my band's last gig. Credit to Chase Kachow for the excellent photography.

This week's challenge is #3TimeSignatures! Create a piece that has (at least) 3 different time signatures. And if you want an extra challenge, throw in some polyrhythms! Post and tag us by Monday 9/2, and remember to feedback others, too. Spread those good vibes and useful comments. ❤️📝

If you're a composer that utilizes Musiversal it might be time to drop them. They have a clause in their terms of service that grants them the rights to train machine learning models off your recordings, and by extension the music you wrote. musiversal.com/terms-of-use Check out clause 1.7

One year ago I was featured on this compilation, still worth checking out:
