It sounds like other people were having more fun than us, but this was a super fun chat!

Been a fan of BCAIGA and @mattesque.bsky.social for a long time now, so I was honored when he asked me to be on. It was a fun chat that went on for another hour or so after he stopped recording. I hope we don't ramble too much 😂

Next in my series of "I guess I'm a hoarder" just found my original dongle for Cubase (ver 3 maybe?) circa 1997. It plugged into your PC parallel port (also used for printers) in the days before usb

Just got back from vacation and saw Ghost of Yōtei longlisted for the BAFTA for Audio Achievement. What an honor for the team! Seeing the other titles, it's been a hell of a year for great sounding games. 🎧 And beyond those listed are many others that may not have had the time/resources to submit

Apparently I go on vacation to record squeaky toilet lids

Just had to reset the date/time on my F3 and realized the year range is 2021 - 2050, which means I've got 25 years left before I start confusing myself

Operation Clean Out continues. Finally laying this messenger bag to rest after 21 years. Met a fresh faced Reggie Fils Aime who MCd the event and talked to a programmer to figure out how to make dynamic ambient tracks. The DS was a fun piece of tech to work on

Reorganizing/de-hoarding my cables for the first time in probably a decade. The number of midi cables and speaker wire I have is a bit insane. I haven't even got to the micro USBs or HDMI yet.

Excited to share our interview with Jennifer Walden at @asoundeffect going into some of the nitty gritty details about the design of #GhostOfYotei #GameAudio Crafting Captivating Game Audio for 'Ghost of Yōtei' share.google/eiWxEwb2oesf...

My highlight for the night is that I designed a Halloween soundscape to play outside that was so scary we only got 2 trick or treaters 😂

#GameSoundCon is a wrap (for me). So fun and so great to see so many friends and meet new ones. Only regret is not getting to spend enough time with enough people. It'd been 2 years since I went to a conference and I nearly forgot how much I love the #GameAudio community ❤️

Our lead sound designer, Josh Lord, and I are giving a talk at #GameSoundCon this year about the audio system improvements we crafted for Ghost of Yōtei. I'm really excited about this talk and am so proud of these systems that the team built. bradleymeyer.com/wp-core/2025...

Finally looking at the #GameSoundCon schedule and it's the same old thing: so many interesting, overlapping talks that I want to see. Since we're living in the future now, we should be able to watch and listen to two talks at a time. One in the left ear/eye and one in the right

A week from today, we're doing a listening party for #GhostOfYotei with myself, co-CD Jason Connell, our composer Toma Otowa and @erikaishii.bsky.social. Tune in to hear some of the stories behind the songs and listen to some of those beautiful tracks. 5pm PDT. blog.playstation.com/2025/10/06/g...

#GhostOfYotei is out and I can't be more proud of our audio team across sound design, music, dialogue and cinematics. So much love & detail has been poured into the sonic world we've built. I'll start sharing anecdotes and videos once I finish celebrating and recovering from celebrating 🥳 #GameAudio

thanks for doing my job for me @lorderk.bsky.social. 😀 Also our soundtrack IS pretty darn special IMHO. LOTS of ear worms in Toma's work.

never thought I'd have "being interviewed by Rolling Stone" on my bingo card, but it was a treat to talk with them and our amazing composer, Toma Otowa, about the score to #GhostOfYotei. The full original soundtrack starts streaming tomorrow! www.rollingstone.com/culture/rs-g...

Looks like I'm having an officially sanctioned #GameAudio morning

Apparently I found the parking lot where old Zambonis go to die

Cleaning up old files and found this one of the gloves I made for the nail layer of the wolf footsteps for Ghost of Yotei. I found a place in Nebraska that sold the nails (gulp) and stitched them into a couple gloves. Pretty sure @chrissoundsrad.com recorded some stuff with them too. #GameAudio

A couple more gems from the soundtrack now streaming

A couple more gems from the soundtrack now streaming

oh hey. this is happening tomorrow!

Mo-cap volume or baby combat arena? Why not both!

Having worked with Mike, I can guarantee there will be fun in these roles

Oh right. My current Reaper splash screen isn't confidential anymore

I didn't know if it's just a Seattle thing, but I still can't get used to bands starting on time at shows here. Show started at 8. Opening band started at 7:58. Headliner started at 8:58. They played two encores and show was over before 11. The aging punk in me appreciates this

I coulda swore I was getting notes of Bartlett pear in this coffee, but obviously I was wrong

I like to think that as humans we're all fundamentally the same, but there are always minor cultural differences. A core example of this is that Americans take shits, while British people do poos. Stick around for more high brow observations!

So excited to share our latest trailer and release date for Ghost of Yōtei! Cannot wait for people to experience Ezo on October 2 youtu.be/7z7kqwuf0a8?... More info is also here in @garfep.bsky.social's blog post blog.playstation.com/2025/04/23/g...

If you're in the U.S and can't make it to a protest (or even if you can!) 5calls.org is a solid resource to take action

One of my highlights of last week was seeing the positive reviews come in for AC Shadows and how happy our team was for them. Making games is hard and we all want to push our craft and each other to do great work

Watched the John Mulaney show tonight. Highlight was Kim Gordon playing a song off her new album. Then we found out she's 71. And damn does she rock!

Not to date myself, but more to appreciate the speed of technology: I remember when CD Architect was such a big deal to be able to build your own redbook CDs. Seeing the "Burn Audio CD" option in Sound Forge today and I just laughed out loud

Huh? But also, HELL YEAH!

Crazy unidentified animal sounds in my backyard. So I turned my recorder on to ensure it would stop. Works every time 🥴

Just saw the Brian Eno doc, aptly titled Eno. It's generative, so every screening is different, but the narrative through line is preserved. Such an incredible document of an influential artist-person's philosophy, humanity, and humor. www.hustwit.com/eno

I didn't think I needed a new reaper theme until today...

I want Philomena Cunk to narrate my life

Before they were the Berenstain Bears, they were just "The Bears"

Only realizing now that Wham's Last Christmas may be an anti-organ donor song

Happy Holidays from all of us at Sucker Punch! 💛

One reason I love this time of year is these wonderful field recordists doing a lovely thing

Recording waves crashing. Things could be worse

I somehow just realized that Silver Spoons was basically just Diff'rent Strokes for white people

Just a reminder to check your recorders for SD cards BEFORE vacation and not at 5am on the shore ready to capture a dawn chorus. 🙄 Thank goodness for backup cards!

Been reading Sing Like Fish by Amorina Kingdon. Super fascinating so far. If you understand how sound works in air, it'll educate you better on how it works in water. Makes me want to work on a game that takes place in both so I can build a custom underwater distance model. 🌊 🎤

Watched the Werner Herzog doc Radical Dreamer. There's a scene where he's mentoring young directors and says, "it's not because I'm better, but I've made enough mistakes I can help them prevent making." This nails it. I've learned so much from people I mentored & just want to make their path easier

Here's one of the A/V art pieces I did for my art show last week with Lacuna Observatory. Recommend you listen with Headphones ON! vimeo.com/905024250

Finished Disclaimer* the other night, and while it was unnerving at times, I did appreciate some of the unique mix choices Alfonso Cuarón and his team made, like having all of the narrative exposition only come out of the rear speakers. It really emphasized a sense of disassociation
