"Mercury is the first planet from the sun and the Earth is the third planet so notes one and three in the musical scale feels symbolic." - @janalmusic.bsky.social, Composer Read more about Janal's approach and workflow when composing for a video game: bit.ly/42soFmF #DevDiary #GameDev #Composer

OMG! I just got to give feedback of the main theme for our game (music) and it's incredible. It has me very excited. I am listening to it on repeat. I can't stop. AHHHH! @janalmusic.bsky.social does fantastic work. I can't wait to have the stems. My brain is thinking of all the ways I can use it.

The success swell in this clip was composed by @janalmusic.bsky.social! You know you've completed a puzzle in First Moon of Mercury when this sting comes in. #GameDev #IndieDev #GameMusic #vgm

Did you see the auroras last night? Beautiful, eh? Those were caused by solar flares. We teamed up with NASA MIT alumni Erin Winick Anthony to learn about the cause of solar flares, how they create geomagnetic storms, and how they affect our planet. 📺: www.youtube.com/shorts/jjGW-...

It’s so heartwarming to see all the love for #SilverScreamers!! This documentary was so fun to score! 🎶 #FantasticFest

This is an interesting article by #ZakirKibria examining how more people are using images and music depicting post-apocalyptic world as a sleep aid. Zakir presents some good theories! #music #sleep scroll.in/article/1080...

As a #composer I’m often asked where my inspiration comes from when I’m creating original music. I’m inspired by visual elements such as the texture of a film, drawing style in animation, the pace of the edits, the overall colour palette, lighting, production design, etc. #filmcomposer #filmscoring

Thank you to the Alliance for Women Film Composers #AWFC for the feature! In this interview I talk about scoring Nelvana’s animated series #MillieMagnificent, composing music for interactive media, and attending #SXSW with #TheChoiceVR! theawfc.com/spotlight/ja... #filmcomposer #womencomposers

Thanks @sxsw.com for all the amazing, challenging, authentic conversations this past week. Showcasing #TheChoiceVR Chapters 2 & 3 was really special! #gratitude #composer #SXSW

This is fun - Nelvana’s #MillieMagnificent is live in Finland!! It’s so neat to see the show translated into languages around the world. I hope kids watching #YLE are having as much fun watching #MallaMahtava as I did scoring it! 💕🎶✨ #animation #composer

Voting day!! Come on Ontario, get out there and make your ballot count! 🗳️ #ontario #election2025

🎬 Super stoked for the #WorldPremiere of #BraveRebelArmy! “After a terrifying incident on campus involving one of their own, four young women seek justice by taking matters into their own hands.” It’s the second film in the trilogy by Michelle D’Alessandro Hatt! 🎉 #womeninfilm #Wench

I can’t wait for Nelvana’s #MillieMagnificent to be released to the world. It’s such a sweet, smart, and imaginative show and I’ve had so much fun composing the music for it!! 🎶🎉 #animation #composer

One of the most common questions I’m asked by emerging composers is how I got started as a #filmcomposer. At the time there wasn’t any university programs specializing in screen scoring or writing music for film and television in Canada. Luckily I had some excellent mentors!

This is great! Thanks @inkcanada.bsky.social for keeping the creative community together! 🇨🇦✨

It’s exciting to have #TheChoiceVR return to @sxsw.com with Chapters 2 & 3 after receiving the audience choice award in 2022! Huge congrats to @joanneaska.bsky.social #SXSW25 #xr #composer
