New synth day! Roland V-Stage 76 as I’ve almost always used stage boards as my main as more of a performer-type composer. Insanely amazing key action, the first of its type!
What a monumental win for game music this week. Congrats to all my friends and peers involved. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pboj...

I still feel so incredibly lucky and I am still so, so grateful that I get to write video game music every day. This last 3 years or so have been wildly exciting and a ton of great stuff is wrapping up. I am SO fulfilled and excited.

Anyone that knows me knows that I love to use old synthesizers in my work. But maintenance is part of the territory, and so today my beloved Yamaha TG77 goes in for surgery. It’s from 1990 but I still use it nearly every week!
A new trailer AND release date for Undergrounded, a game I wrote the music for! It comes out on July 3 and this new trailer is a great flyover of the super varied soundtrack! www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuKs... If you're interested we'd love if you wish listed it! store.steampowered.com/app/3076910/...

After years of hunting for a good clean, working one, I finally found one of my most wanted old synths, the Yamaha TQ5. This masterpiece of late 80s design (from the famed Frog Design) is a 4op FM synth that sounds so nostalgic. I made this little demo you hear in the video with it! It's so cool! 🥹
I can already tell you right now: This game is 100% worth the purchase on the quality of the music alone. Super inspired writing, beautiful melodic sense, exceptional execution. I am instantly a fan of Morotani and Nakamachi.
I walk at night and look at the stars and listen to music and reflect on what I’ve done, daydream about what I want to. I think about my friends and loved ones and how great dogs are. The stars and moon follow along with the music, every night a fantastic show with a stunning soundtrack. 🌃
I went stargazing tonight after work like I do most every night. Tonight, Venus ,Jupiter and Mars are lined up and it’s quite the show. After 30-40 minutes of watching, I headed home. And just as I was pinning hopes on the stars like I always do, a brilliant shooting star flew by, acknowledging. 💫
You kinda already know that you’re being disrespected. Be honest with yourself.

Happy International Corgi Day to my little friend, CoCo Ichibanya, as well as all the other corgis out there!
All the music production tricks you might be gravitating to are so easily duplicated. Often one click. Same thing with production “quality” and fidelity. Click, done. I think people might feel the music more with less of the easy result ear candy. Let the song be a song.
The more you work on yourself the better your art is going to be.
