pinned post!
Well... time to give this site another go I think. So I'm a game and film composer based in Melbourne. Hello again, Bluesky! Here's one of my favourite tracks I've written - imagine a slice of life anime set in Hobbiton:

Just watched the most recent
#StarTrek
episode āThe Life of the Starsā. This one will surely go down as one of the great Star Trek episodes. The performances by Holly Hunter, Kerrice Brooks and particularly Robert Picardo in this one are truly something special.

My and Aaron's High Score talk from last year is finally online š It's a deep dive into the Cozy Caravan FMOD project, and turns out there's some wacky shit in there. Unfortunately the sound is via the PA not direct, but most of it still comes across pretty well

Iām considering becoming *that person* who unwraps lollies in quiet moments at concerts. Does anyone know where I can source lollies wrapped in actual cellophane or is it better to DIY it and wrap my own?

So the credit card option on the KWS/Epic Games age verification platform that Blue Sky uses doesn't even work? It just comes up as declined for no reason. There's no way I'll be giving them my face or id scan, so I can't get to any DM's on here for now.

tbt to this piece, 'Journey's End' from earlier this year. Sort of a bittersweet piece about the ending of one chapter of life and the beginning of another.

Itās almost like theyāre using colour, lighting and costume to say something about world the characters inhabit, rather than just creating a literal representation of the place and time period.
