I was listening back to my everyday music and some of them I quite like, so I made a playlist with ‘selects’ from the last month. If you were curious about what kind of music I make daily but didn’t want to sieve through the random exercises and dross, here you go on.soundcloud.com/pIpdwt9GB8p6...

Finished Metaphor Re Fantazio. Great stuff. Maybe got a little hooked on maxing out the protagonist’s archetypes and steamrolled the final boss, poor wee guy.
Great final episode of Wheel of Time S3! Really solid series. Was on the edge of my seat even though I know what’s coming. Bring on season 4!
Huge congrats to Ross Tregenza on the BAFTA win for Best Music last night, along with Wilbert and the Helldivers team. Ross is one of my favourite people on the planet: so happy to see all his hard work and dedication pay off 💪💪💪

Started watching Frieran again while making technical diagrams because apparently I need more bittersweet melancholy. And also because the music is so lovely 🥰

That’s a wrap for #GDC 2025. It’s been a good one with a nice mix of meeting ppl old and new, plus some great talks. It’s inspiring to see how ppl are raising the bar on sound and music in games. Plus I had the honour of being dubbed a fashion icon! Who would have thought 😅
Really fantastic talk ‘From Symphony to Scoundrel’ by @wilbertroget.bsky.social at GDC. Inspiring and packed full of practical lessons. Definitely one to come back to on the vault!
