This is so LONG overdue -- things have been so busy. But I'm thrilled to announce that my original game soundtrack for Austen Translation has finally been released.
You'll find it in all the places! #AppleMusic #Spotify #AmazonMusic #videogamemusic

A fun thing that's not often discussed about game audio is how you develop a sound design style that's unique to yourself just like an instrumentalist would. Guitarists all have different approaches/sounds that are unique and great, and the same is true for sound designers! ✌️
This is HUGE!!!
Free update! Design all the engines sounds you need with the GameSynth Engines plug-in: trucks, supercars, motorbikes, sedans, racing cars… and now tanks!

Do you know a BIPOC student who wants to go to grad school for game development or entertainment technology? A full-paid fellowship is available at Carnegie Mellon: etc.cmu.edu/blog/etc-fellows… Please spread the word!

Occasionally I’ve been told I’m a very musical sound designer. My gateway into #gameaudio was hearing bands doing sound design as music, so I guess it makes sense? I’ve just always seen composing/sound design as two sides of the same coin and not conflicting skillsets

October is a nice spooky time to get yourself a nice spooky print of a spooky game! Check out my #castlevania and #ghostsngoblins prints, as well as many others inspired by other games at etsy.com/shop/gamescapeartis…
Happy Saturday!

Love this honesty. This is beyond ok. Sometimes a job is a job. And there is nothing wrong with that! It’s rare when your artistic fulfillment, personal fulfillment and professional fulfillment all come from the same place. 2/3 on one show is pretty good.

Ahhhh, October is the month of crisp days and eerie nights. Now is the perfect time for a replay of the beloved, classic horror game #Phantasmagoria!
Get those heart monitors ready because it's SPOOKY SZN! 👻🔪
