After my drum lesson I spontaneously decided to make a TikTok drawing analogies between practicing and mental health, not expecting anyone to watch it. It's now my second most viewed video? I don't think I will ever understand the algo but I'm glad people care about mental health

This upcoming soundtrack release will be the first time I've ever had someone master my original music before. I usually just do it myself, so I'm super excited to hear how they come out! Should be getting them back soon, and I can't wait to be able to share them with you all!

I have a laptop and I literally open it maybe twice a month max. As a result it's super clean and looks like new. And yet, everytime I open it, the keyboard is covered in cat hair. HOW?!

I've been really terrible about keeping up with social media lately. I feel like I go through periods where I just don't have the mental bandwidth. But then I feel bad because I'm not keeping up with what my friends are doing. So just know that if I miss something, that's why.

I have been sick this week so I took the time to watch Vinland Saga and I'm so mad I waited until now. That was one of the best shows I've seen in a while and I'm excited for the rest of season 2!

I have been saying forever that I want to try and start doing yoga consistently, but I've never followed through. But I did it for the first time this morning and it felt good! Definitely didn't go perfectly, but I want tk make this a new habit.

#GameAudio can anyone confirm something for me? When my students go to the
@audiokinetic
website to download the MacOS version of the Wwise Launcher, the download link doesn't work. It just gives an error that says the file has been archived. Does anyone else have this issue?

It's rare that I have a non-game related announcement these days, but I'm really excited about this one! I had the pleasure of doing sound design with
@YouTooCanWoo
for the documentary "Geoff McFetridge: Drawing a Life" which will be premiering at SXSW this year!

I really struggle with advice like "listen to your body", or "follow your gut", because anxiety often makes that terrible advice. I wish I could listen to myself less often to be honest.

So while I might have been let down a bit, and I feel terrible about the friends I didn't get to see, I'm still glad I got to have some wonderful experiences. And if I didn't get to see you, let's hang out soon!

But overall, I actually did have a good time. Even if it wasn't everything I had planned, I still got to hear some friends put on amazing performances, and spend time with some truly awesome people.

I've been debating if I should make a post MAGFest wrap up. I wasn't feeling very well for a chunk of it, and wasn't able to see a lot of the people I had hoped to, hear some of the concerts I had been looking forward to, and watch some of the panels I had been interested in.

Listening to these sets, it blows my mind how amazing my friends are. I'm so glad I've met you all. Also excited to get home and work on my own music. So inspired right now.

I'm putting together my schedule of things to do at MAG and it kills me how much overlap there is. I just want to support all my friends 😭

The lead up to a convention is always such a surreal blend of excitement and anxiety. My brain doesn't know what to do with itself.

I've been receiving recordings for an anime arrangement, and it's one of my favorite feelings in the world. Hearing my ideas slowly come to life piece by piece is so rewarding. Currently in the process of mixing some parts from

The past few years of teaching have been a crazy journey that I never in a million years expected. But that just makes me so much more excited to announce that starting next semester, I'll begin teaching for Berklee Online! Looking forward to the next adventure!

The point being that I need to not rely on external factors to determine my mood, but to accept that I do have a level of control over it. That good things won't force me to be happy, and bad don't mean I have to be miserable. [2/2]

I think I give my life way too much credit for my mental health. Of course it plays a significant. But I can be really happy one day and deeply depressed the next, despite literally nothing having changed. It's all just down to my thoughts and brain chemistry. [1/2]

I have been working on this City Pop anime arrangement that I started a while back. I really want to finish it soon but it's giving me such anxiety because I have no idea who is going to perform it. I usually have people in mind when I do my arrangements so I don't like this feel

I usually just think about what I want achieve the coming year and then forget a few weeks later. But this time I'm actually going to write down my goals and break them into actionable steps. What are some of your goals for the new year?

We got this little advent calendarish thing of cat toys for Chanukah. Every day they spend hours chewing/scratching at the plastic, desperately trying to get the next toy out. Then, as soon as we open it and give it to them, they have no interest in it.

The
@its_adamneely
video today had me thinking about all those xpunk genres that represent an alternate reality where a different technology became prominent, like steampunk. But what about music? For example: pythagoreanpunk where equal temperament wasn't ever widely adopted

#GameAudio friends, does anyone have a checklist of things to do when releasing a game soundtrack? In terms of legal, marketing, distribution, business, whatever. I just keep worrying about forgetting something important.
