Listen in on Friday to the orchestral debut of my @darkestdungeon.bsky.social music on ABC Classical Radio across Australia and around the world.

This Friday on ABC Classic, we're rebroadcasting the massive Indie Symphony II concert by Orchestra Victoria, which I had the pleasure of hosting back in July, on a special extended edition of the Game Show 🎮🎻🎺🪈🥁

Hollow Knight: Silksong soundtrack is now live on Bandcamp: christopherlarkin.bandcamp.com/album/hollow...

It's #BandcampFriday and all revenue goes to artists! I was laid off this summer so if you're looking for fantasy music, cinematic music, or Mediterranean Dark Folk, your support and shares are appreciated 💜 psamathes.bandcamp.com

@qualbert.com being an absolute Aussie gaming icon by talking about Silksong on national TV while wearing an Untitled Goose Game jacket and shouting out Unpacking 🪡🪿🧸

I expect that Aus media *will* cover Silksong—but in the way culture writing happens in 2025. SatPaper will do a review. ABC will do a detailed feature cut to 800 words for news. The Guardian, a profile and syndicated review. That's probably it, because that is all that is possible anywhere anymore.
