I'm hecking dying.

YOU ARE A REGULAR GUY

I really would love this to happen.

The time arrives! It's Bandcamp Friday! They waive their share of revenue for artists today. We got tons of albums, merch like shirts and pins, and even sheet music for you! Thank you for supporting us!! thegamebrass.bandcamp.com

It’s BANDCAMP FRIDAY, friends! If you’ll permit me a little self-promotion, perhaps I could interest you in some eclectic and unusual video game and film soundtracks? https://johnrobertmatz.bandcamp.com/

Goddamn. Beyond the prescience of the politics here, as I get older I find myself in absolute awe of people like McKellan—those who have developed such a mastery of their craft, studied and practiced for so many decades. That mastery, that dedication is enough to put a lump in my throat!

This is who runs this account

An unbelievable thing happened last night. 3,083 people from the @minnmax.com and @giantbomb.bsky.social community stepped up to protect the people in Minneapolis from ICE. You can still donate to VEAP here - bit.ly/iceoutminneapolis Here's the archive - youtube.com/live/SMcO71c...

The gang has raised a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS, HECK YEAH. <3

Gosh, I'm proud of my city. 🙏

❤️

Super thrilled to share the first public look at Darkhaven, a new ARPG from some of the creators of Diablo 1 & 2! (It’s been a blast to write music for, and you can hear some of it in our preview trailer!)

Ahh, a nice fresh batch of Penne Whistles.

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." ICE in Minneapolis are erasing your rights. Please share our new video of what's happening in our city. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

Woooooo boy and/or woof. 😣

Super excited to announce Our Sonic Landscape, a one day game audio conference taking place on May 2nd here in Vancouver BC. Rachel, Em and I are organizing this and tickets on sale soon. So we're looking for speakers. Please fill out the form on the website oursoniclandscape.com #gameaudio

I feel like that game melted me into a puddle of goo, good Lord, jeez.

MAGFest 2026 = survived. 🙏

He did it. He actually did it.

Aces high in T-59 minutes!

Folks, this thing is gonna be SICK. MAGFest, 7:10pm, Saturday night.

This would never happen on Umastagram.

"Tiberian Sons: The #ACECOMBAT Cinematic Experience": @magfest.org , January 10, 2026, 19:10. We will be playing 90 minutes of *only* Ace Combat music, set to visuals telling the stories of AC 5, 7 and Zero. Be there. builder.guidebook.com/g/#/guides/m...

Tomorrow, the 13-hour drive to MAGfest begins. Stoked to play with with my pals @thegamebrass.com again with @thetiberiansons.bsky.social on MainStage - should be a hecking Ace time. ;) Come say hi if you see me!

Stepped up onto the stage at my college’s chapel for a wind ensemble dress rehearsal with a prestigious guest composer, my foot went “pop”, and I crawled back to the trumpet section, played the rehearsal, and couldn’t stand afterwards. It was broken. Took a full semester to heal.

…good Lord. 😣

Live by these fucking words in 2026. Be SPICY and lend a hand.

Happy New Year, friends! I made a giant pretzel and mimosas, so let’s see if a new way to ring in the year makes a difference. 🤞

SummoningSalt voiceover: “It had been nearly 8 years since the community had hit the 800 ham ceiling”

Super happy to get to contribute to this year’s best-music-by-composers roundup over at VGC! (Bet you’ll never guess what my favorites were! 😅) 🐎🇫🇷

It's that time of the year again

The ever-talented @johnrobertmatz.bsky.social is among the nominees for Best Main Theme with his work on For The King II in the 24th annual Game Audio Network Guild awards! We're so proud of all the amazing work John puts into creating beautiful soundtracks for the For The King series.

*Tell me this ass isn’t afraid of gay people.*

Absolutely thrilled to see TWO The Game Brass arrangements, one by @thomaskresgemusic.bsky.social and one by yours truly, featuring the marvelous @lauraintravia.bsky.social nominated for Best Game Music Cover nominated in this year’s Game Audio Network Guild Awards. variety.com/2025/gaming/...

Gareth Coker, when seeing anyone writing for the instrument: (Apologies, this is the most inside joke of inside jokes) 😅

Big night for men holding babies in dangerous environments.

The Clair and the Obscur.

It's just cool to see my band, @thegamebrass.com featured in this thing.

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

The phrase “LEGO California-class” floated into my head and, I swear, I would buy that in a heartbeat. I cannot fathom a stronger nerd-vibe synergy than that pairing right there.
