lets just be clear
Toby Fox made a game called Undertale that:
- started on kickstarter in 2013
- is now in Smash Bros Ultimate
- being featured in AEW wrestling
this is the greatest indie game success story
fyi Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas won 4 grammys while producing with a $100 microphone, Logic X, simple plugins and a budget interface
You don't need dope equipment to make dope art
the idea that game music should ~only~ be in service of the overall experience of a game and not stand on its own is a harmful symptom of western institutions pushing for games to be like hollywood movies
The best game music is always enjoyed within and without the game context
we got to perform Octavia’s Theme live from Omega Strikers with the demon herself
@DEMONDICEKaren
, the highlight of my weekend

「GAMERS」

videogame composers:
"I used over 200 audio channels, recorded a 70 piece orchestra in the best studio in London layered with vintage analog synths to create the perfect soundscape"
animal crossing composer:
"i played 4 notes on my keyboard and added a hi hat i think im good"
Every Kirby game in the beginning: Save your friend in the forest watch out for apples
Every Kirby game at the end: Destroy evil deity in a parallel dimension before time and space ceases to exist
Our collaboration on Cytus II was really special. Within 24 hours of sending you the sketch ideas for the song Hydra I got stems back that were perfect. Im beyond grateful we could create together.
One of the greatest to create in rhythm game music.
Rest in power Akira Complex.
It pains us to inform everyone that our dear friend and member of the label, Akira Complex, is no longer with us. As a musician their work made an impact and was loved by many all over the world, we know that they truly appreciated everyone who called themselves a fan. (1/4)
Many videogame soundtracks are heavily inspired by disco, jazz fusion, funk, rock, dance just to name a few: all styles originated by black musicians
Acknowledging the history is so important, and why this time is even more important for us to stand together
Games industry try to look beyond the western market challenge (impossible)
As someone whose career is built off working in both western (harmonix) and asian industries its always frustrating to see people erroneously assume music games lived and died from one franchise
My new 10 year plan in video games is to reinforce the idea that high budget “AAA” game music doesnt have to be Orchestral, but also electronic music, rock music, jazz/digital fusion
Just be dope music
Surprise! As a 1 Year Anniversary celebration to the videogame
@NoStraightRoads
, I worked with
@ikkinsnommis
and
@alex_moukala
on bass to create this special remix of the track vs SAYU - thank you to everyone supporting this game and the music!
After 3 years
#NoStraightRoads
is released to the public!
Working alongside my friends on this beast of a soundtrack (4+ hrs!) has truly been special- Im looking forward to whats next but for now, Im going to celebrate with a drink and some gamer moments
No Straight Roads - the upcoming musical action game composed by myself and my buds Falk Yeong,
@FunkySynths
and
@tunnotron3000
become a rockstar and defeat evil DJs like me
Coming out June 30th on all major platforms 🔊
What kind of person goes to a local Madden tournament- where a group of people playing video games and find a moment of escape outside of their real world cycle, to murder them? Unbelievable.
Condolences aren't enough, I can only hope anyone affected by this is okay.
Advice for aspiring game composers who want to get into the industry:
It's not good form to dunk on a music composer's music from a game series you otherwise like while simultaneously demonstrating how "you can do it better this way"
re: Video Game Awards under-representing game audio
This is bigger than the VGAs. I'm tired of seeing "best game audio of the year" predominantly featuring western titles. There's so much great music made by Asian developers that goes unnoticed. Get out of the LA/SF circle.
Kazan's theme is here! One of my favorite songs to date composing for Omega Strikers!
