Ear still not working properly but tentatively started writing some new music over the weekend and really go into it (despite being half deaf). Work in progress but I'm loving this so far #music #musicproduction #wip #composer #cubase

Very frustratingly I've been unable to finish any musical projects since July due to problems with my left ear (I can't mix anything at the moment as my hearing isn't right) so my collection of half finished pieces is just getting more unwieldy every week 😂 #composer #producer #music

I've been reading LOTR to my daughter (for the second time - on request!) and incorporating the Clamavi De Profundis music as I read. It's a whole level up of bedtime stories. A must for any Tolkien fans www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PSF...

It's great seeing an English football team win a major tournament 😎

I haven't had enough time recently for working on my own music, but I've enjoyed throwing together some Fantasy RPG style tracks when not working on more important things. This one is starting to come together, needs polishing though. #vgm #composer #producer #cubase #music youtu.be/74XuVz5-WTc

Does bluesky have any recommendations for vegan food in York that kids will like? #vegan #food #york

Bill Bailey has got to be one of the greatest musical comedians ever. He doesn't just play music, he really understands it too. "Doctor... Qui" 😂 youtu.be/Zhv5GVexW2E?...

I was lucky enough to have a chat with @theslackersband.bsky.social drummer last night. An absolute gentleman. Fantastic gig, the slackers never disappoint. As always blown away by the sound quality at Brudenell Social Club too. #ska #rocksteady #livemusic #music

Seeing these guys tonight, gonna get my skank on #ska #music #gigs #leeds youtu.be/do0iB79mgBk?...

I'm currently mixing some songs for a Leeds based Ska-Punk band and maybe enjoying the experience a little too much 😆 I've not done a band with this many members before, the song I'm working on tonight is a big mix (nearly 50 tracks at the minute). #mixing #musicproduction #cubase #ska #punk

This song just popped up on shuffle, and I had to share it. I'm sharing it because it's one of my favourite songs to sing at the top of my voice. To this day it makes me feel like I'm 12 years old and listening to it for the first time. #music #ska #punk open.spotify.com/track/4pGXQV...

RPG action/battle music? Or medieval rave? Very much just a starting idea but I'm enjoying where this piece is taking me. #vgm #composer #musicproducer #cubase #gamedev #wip

Been having some creative block recently and it's been a struggle to get any music pieces finished. Tonight however, that is not the case. Writing a fantasy RPG soundtrack and the ideas are just falling out of me, feels good to be back on form! #vgm #composer

Slightly ruin a song title. "Monkey Ma'am"

Nearly 20 years on and @randomhand.co.uk still my favourite live band. Danced like a right plonker and loved every minute, cheers for the great night guys

@henryrollins21361.bsky.social put me on to this track not that long ago and I can't get it out of my head. Such a banger! open.spotify.com/track/6Dz6QS...

This has nothing to do with my music. I am off to see @randomhand.bsky.social play a punk show in a historic theatre 2 days after my birthday and I'm proper excited. I've seen these guys at almost every local show in and around Leeds since about 2006 and they're still my favourite live band

Need to remember to check back on this project later in the year.

Combining the many parts I've come up with for a solo stage show into one hour long track is proving to be a bit of a headache. I need #Cubase pro - unlimited tracks is what I need! Curse expensive production software 😆

Experimenting with X-Stream in HALion Sonic this morning. It's one of the free instruments that come with Cubase and I've not really explored it before now but I'm quickly getting excited by the possibilities, especially for BIG sounding cinematic drones. Time to write some new music! #composer

New track done! Really enjoyed making this, it's quite upbeat and cheerful. #music #composer #musicprodsky youtu.be/s1R4q1DjSp8

Writing something upbeat and fun today #musicsky #composer #production

Lovely song to start the day with

Funnily enough, no, I have never wondered what photosynthesis sounds like. But now I'm REALLY curious

I started working on some new music, but it sounds a bit like LOTR which is now getting in my head. Do other composers have this problem? How do you deal with it? #composer #filmcomposer #music

I've decided I really like it on here, so I guess I should do a proper introduction. My name is Jake, and I compose soundtrack music for film/games. I also love to chat about all sorts of other things so If you like what I'm doing give me a follow and say hi! youtu.be/IZFqU5hoxaY?...

I'm looking at X this morning and then looking at Bluesky and the difference is night and day. I think I'll stay here if you don't mind 😊 What music is everyone starting their day with? For me it's this: open.spotify.com/track/6w4ejo... #musicsky

I enjoy a wide variety of music and mostly you'll find me writing orchestral/soundtrack music these days, but ska punk was my first love. Big D are one of the best!
