It's SWORD OF THE SEA launch day! I'm *SO* happy to be sharing this one at long last! We started work on it 2021 & it's been a major labor of love that whole time. @GiantSquidology always pushes to make something poignant, artful & unique and I only hope the music follows suit

Finished Stranger Things. It has its flaws and never fully recaptured that Season 1 magic. But I am satisfied. Honestly on the whole, loved the show. The finale end credits were a reminder of just how many iconic, memorable moments they created and that's no small achievement!

The amazing work of @DarrenKorb & @awintory on Hades II from @SupergiantGames gave us music that elevates us to Mount Olympus, literally! Merry Christmas to all the video game music lovers! ๐๐ฎ๐ถ https://t.co/4L6LRolT5C

One of the most singularly impactful people in games. A tremendous inspiration. An utterly surreal and horrible loss for the art of games
I cannot believe I am writing this. Vince Zampella, a titan of the video game industry, the co-creator of Call of Duty and co-founder of Respawn Entertainment, not to mention a dear friend, died in a car crash yesterday in Los Angeles.

Was a delight to participate in this article and absolutely loved reading the extensive array of tastes and recommendations. Also very touched at the endorsement from two of my most cherished friends and colleagues, @DarrenKorb and @Borislav_Slavov ๐
Thank you to Andy and the VGC team for being an amazing home for this, and shout out all the composers who took part! Give this a read, discover something new, big up @SOKENsquareenix , @awintory , @Ludvig_Forssell , @garethcoker , @Borislav_Slavov and everyone who took part!

Apparently $6 is all one needs for spiritual revelation! Hell of a steal!!!
Mass Effect Legendary Edition is on sale for $6 on steam. This version includes all 3 games and all DLC with enhancements to the graphics. This is simply one of my favorite game series of all time. If you've never played I envy you for getting to play for the first time!

Rift of the Necrodancer was one of the very first games I ever wrote music for... and it won a Best Music award last night at the indie awards! On top of that, our soundtrack was also nominated for the Steam Awards alongside my absolute favorite OST of the year: Expedition 33.

The SWORD OF THE SEA soundtrack began as a joke about (and sort of by?) Werner Herzog .... https://t.co/gW6dIhJdcC

2025 was a banner year for video game music, and these soundtracks are the proof.

What a lovely and truly generous writeup of SWORD OF THE SEA! Bandcamp did a roundup of their favorite game scores of the year and had these incredibly kind words to share!! So very, very grateful to get to do this kind of thing with people I love so much!

I had WAY too much fun writing the music for @LEGOFortnite 's NINJAGO Odyssey this past fall. Worked with many of favorite soloists and the killer orchestra in Nashville. So grateful to be continually writing LEGO FN's music the last few years :)
Command ELEMENTAL powers, Master Spinjitzu, wield new weapons and movement abilities, and defend NINJAGO Island from a monstrous threat when NINJAGO: Rise of the Ninja arrives in Odyssey on December 11! Full Trailer: https://t.co/Zllyq3DqGJ

Iโm very lucky to know and work with @DarrenKorb but also just a longtime fan of his beautiful work, and as of the last few months also became an instant fan of @lorien_testardโs beautiful work, so it was really great to be there when the two of them met.

What an absolute joy and privilege to spend time with @SandfallGames and @lorien_testard this week. Rarely, if ever, has a team inspired me as they have. They make us all better.
