OK, I've made the call: for the first time in my career I'm skipping GDC. I feel like sharing the two reasons. The first is that I can't afford it and the second is that I've never been to begin with

It's been an honor to continue to compose music for Infinite's multiplayer seasons. Season 3 came out yesterday, for which I scored all cinematics and menu music. Here's the Season 3 intro:

From the start of the game, I was thoroughly impressed with Owlboy's soundtrack, when I suddenly discovered (already in the credits) that was made by one of my favorite composers, Johnathan Geer (). Another incredible job! What a gift!!! ❤️

Lovely analysis of 's masterpiece. Gareth's work epitomizes what I believe the best scores do: it's not just flashy themes (which he also excels at) but fabulous work BETWEEN those moments. Making the most of the interstitial

Hey all, Incredibly excited to finally be able to share with you that I recently had the chance to write a collection of original music for the final season of Star Trek Picard! Huge thanks to for having me on board his team.

The music in is such a joy.
John Debney pays homage to Horner, Goldsmith and adds beautiful 80's adventure sci-fi orchestration and musical storytelling. Every episode puts aside time for it - where can you hear that any more?
Lovely theme by Bruce Broughton too.

Hey everyone! I have some new music in the game Drift that's currently in the Steam NEXTFest if you'd like to give it a look-see: store.steampowered.com/app/2159650/Dr
We're going for a very electronic score that has been really fun.
Would anyone like some YouTube videos on the score?

Yes. 1200 pages of score (on A3 paper), many thousands more of parts. Here's a tiny tiny fraction of it... (a set of parts for violins IIRC)
(Yes the paper is all recycled post-session, I hope we all move to electronic music stands that can be annotated by musicians soon...)

Soooo I don't know much about the technical aspects of music composition, but @garethcoker tells me the score for ARK The Animated Series is about 1200 sheet/pages long (all recorded live). I gather that's... a lot of music

In late January I'll be announcing an expansion for Airships. The name and topic of which is still under wraps, but I can say that Curtis Schweitzer has once again signed on to create music for it.

I recognize the need for MIDI and applaud the work put into its development, but common-practice notation has always been vastly superior as a means of conveying musical ideas.

About Muse Sounds. You may be interested to know:
1. It is not a VSTi
2. It does not use MIDI / MIDI 2
MS4 has an entirely new playback system that sends notation concepts (not MIDI events) to the sampler, which is how it is able to playback so realistically. Video on Friday.

DRUM COVER - "Ransom Keep" from #HaloInfinite's soundtrack.
I love this track bc it lets the player settle into the new open world mechanics and also builds on itself to communicate the player's progress in taking over a Banished facility.
It also sounds so cozy and familiar :)

Thank you for all the love and support this year!
(I'm still impressed that Starbound music is as popular as it is. Fans of SB gave even Halo Infinite a run for its money!)

Lol I did the thing again where I install path of exile, start a fresh character, and play right up until I get my first skill point, open the skill tree, immediately get tired, and exit the game.
