"The Prowl" is a jukebox selection by the Ice Brethren in Outlaws, which means it's by @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social. It's aptly-named, a darkly sinuous blend of electric guitar, throat singing, and xiao flute, and it's day 113 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. youtu.be/EKuSqer_ewY?...

🧵1/4 - I am excited to celebrate the launch of Lost Soul Aside alongside its fans! Many fans have been asking about my music for the game, and I'm grateful to share this update with approval and blessing from Ultizero Games:

@maclaine.bsky.social is at it again with his score to @dreamhaven.com's @playwildgate.com! Thankful to Maclaine & Dave Shumway for bringing Emperia on to help cut together the soundtrack album to Wildgate! Massive props to my team who pulled it together Ben Hicks, Hélène Choyer, & Alec Justice

I couldn't be more happy to have partnered with the Emperia on this soundtrack release. It's SO cool to have it not just on vinyl but also on CD and cassette! You can listen to the whole score and get a copy here: maclainediemer.bandcamp.com/album/firmam...

For day 83 of #TheDiegeticShuffle we deal a hand of sabacc to Kay Vess with "Kessel Sabacc" by @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social from Outlaws. Middle Eastern scales, Spanish guitar, and African percussion blend into an evocative backdrop for high-stakes gambling. youtu.be/RsA5b0iVT1U?...

We get another Outlaws banger from @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social for day 93 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: "Wake Up the Enrako" is by in-universe band Arctic Nobaki, and you can hear it in a Kijimi jukebox. youtu.be/VglUkfx4U2A?...

Absolutely in love with how these Firmament (Original Soundtrack) cassettes and CDs look and sound! Much appreciation to @maclaine.bsky.social and @cyan.com for the amazing music, game, and trust in Emperia Records 💿🔗 emperiarecords.store/collections/...

Since I haven't gotten the pleasure of trying the one in the parks, I decided to try a homemade version. Not bad! Listening to @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social fantastic Outer Rim Rhapsody from #StarWarsOutlaws #WildCard while doing so added a lot of fun to the moment.

1/3 - Emperia is doing our annual call for new contributor submissions! Every year we like to open up our contributor submission form to allow folks an opportunity to submit for consideration on our projects and albums. forms.gle/w2mfokkeCTU5...

Day 2 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: "Raven 6" by @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social, from Star Wars: Outlaws. This is a meditative chillwave track that's the soundtrack for an in-universe space shooter video game (but is a great listen on its own). youtu.be/mvRHPe0k-uY?...

MTFBWY #maythe4thbewithyou last week at ASCAP Composers’ Choice Awards with @wilbertroget.bsky.social, for Star Wars Outlaws Sending love to #StarWars family and fans! (third photo I promise is not a sad attempt at force lightning, no photoshops please)

Look at this absolute beauty. 🥹 So happy to have Emperia and Materia help bring this marvelous collection to life. 🙏

For RE2's tribute song, I just want to make @montyzander.bsky.social and @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social proud. My litmus test is: "Would Leon listen to this in the car?"

I could not be more proud to announce the For The King 1+2 @ironoakgames.bsky.social deluxe 2xLP release featuring the music from the scores composed by @johnrobertmatz.bsky.social — created in collaboration between Emperia Records & our friends at @materiacollective.bsky.social!

STAR WARS OUTLAWS NOMINATED FOR BAFTA GAME AWARDS!” Quite unreal to be amongst such talent nominated for @baftagames.bsky.social Awards! Congratulations again and again to the entire #StarWarsOutlaws music and sound team for all of the creative work that paved the way for this nomination!

HUGE congrats to @wilbertroget.bsky.social on his @baftagames.bsky.social nominations for Helldivers 2 and Star Wars Outlaws, along with his SWO co-composers @joneverist.bsky.social, Kazuma Jinnouchi and @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social!

It's an honor to be nominated for an #ASCAP Composers' Choice Award for our work on #StarWarsOutlaws! ASCAP Members! The time to vote is now. Please consider our music from Star Wars Outlaws for your Composer's Choice Award for Video Game Score of the Year Voting link in thread!

Congrats on the nomination! I loved the cantina music you and the team did. It’s so fun! And it’s even part of the story, with that side quest of the drummer who ran away, who you have to find so that Jabba doesn’t feed the rest of the band to the Rancor. 🤣

An ASCAP Composers’ Choice Award is an award chosen by your peers — the best of film, TV, and games. A bit speechless Star Wars Outlaws is recognized amongst my heroes and industry giants! Massive thanks to our peers for this recognition and congrats to all of other nominees!

Congrats to clients Jack Wall @wilbertroget.bsky.social @joneverist.bsky.social @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social on their 2025 ASCAP Composers’ Choice Nominations!
