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

Today's listening deadpioneers.bandcamp.com/track/this-i...

Some days I walk into the Foley room at work and am amazed at how NOT dirty it is

Here's my yearly, though arguably much more important this year, plea to all U.S. citizens: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE VOTE.

This is the Dream Phone, an art piece I built for a show in Dunsmiur, CA next month. People called in their dreams and I transferred them to a sound board embedded into the phone (which was my grandpa's). The tablecloth has the dreams transcribed and running into each other to form new dreams.

Hey #gameAudio, @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social is hiring a contract Audio Implementer. If you're early in your career, looking to work with a gang of goofballs, AND meet the criteria, consider applying! jobs.suckerpunch.com/careers/3335...

I've been doing this a long time, but still, every time I write some code or script that just works, I feel like I can comminicate in a secret language that I don't even fully comprehend. I love it.

Are you a #gameaudio professional using #UnrealEngine for work? Or a solo game developer who also loves to fiddle with audio? Now you can easily assign and use your MIDI controllers to test your Audio Modulation based mix! Get it on the new Epic Marketplace here www.fab.com/listings/f22...

Presley does good things for the community. Take her survey!

Happy to see the mass exodus. Hope it doesn't let up until all #GameAudio is here. A while ago, I downloaded my entire Twitter history to host on my website. It's ugly, but if you're ever looking for something dumb I may have said, you can search there with a clean conscience: tinyurl.com/mrxy7cu7

Omw to see Steel Pole Bathtub (who folks here may know as "the composer from Portal's old band"). Haven't seen them in ages, but I was always mesmerized in the early/mid 90s how they triggered samples in real time over their noisy goodness

Keep forgetting to post here, but I'm doing an art show next month with Lacuna Observatory and seeking people to share their dreams with us. Call now!

Oh hi Internet. You haven't heard from me lately. Sorry. But I have a good reason! youtu.be/7z7kqwuf0a8?...

Listening to every shellac album tonight in honor of the best poker player I ever met
