I adore this piece--I knew I wanted to publish it in the journal the moment I saw the talk. Congrats to JRM on a fantastic article on a beautiful game score!

Thrilled to have my first scholarly article published in the Journal of Sound and Music in Games! A delight to get to collaborate with my friend @musicologess.bsky.social to adapt my GDC talk about the musical development of "Tchia" to written form! online.ucpress.edu/jsmg/article...

This has been an absolute blast! I will miss the people, place, and constant excitement from this experience! So honored to be on a panel with @musicologess.bsky.social, @eightbitaria.bsky.social, and Sarah at Save the Games 2026 at the Strong National Museum of Play! Will hopefully be back again! 🎮

Saw a great talk on museum collecting of video games and there's a survey for Alysha's PhD research you all can take as gamers, fans, curators, researchers, game developers, and practitioners. She said she's looking for more North American respondents! researchsurveys.deakin.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_...

It is doubly hard to be in both music performing and music academia--both fields are so bound up in our identities and passionate curiosity and the desire to build upon something to create anew. This is brilliant but difficult advice to follow!

Help with a playlist I'm working on: what are your favorite forest-y themes from video games?

"It's the Empire Strikes Back of musical theater ballads. It's dark." Me, describing "As Long As You're Mine" from Wicked to a student.

How your email finds me:

Good news: Canvas back online. Students won't lose any time in the already-condensed 8-week summer term! Bad news: I lost several days of my usual fiddling so I'm burning all the oil of several timezones' midnights to launch my two summer classes for tomorrow and submit the last few spring grades! 😴

I've never seen My Hero Academia, do they all get tenure by the end

Traveling the world with your two best friends is highly recommended. And in @musicologess.bsky.social’s words, taking in the Burkian sublime with them is a step beyond. Incredible Sunday for us all.

So excited to be presenting with my awesome panel on video game (music) professional and fan-made collections in July at the Strong Museum! I have always wanted to visit this amazing place! 😊

Do you have an idea you are interested in publishing in the Journal of Sound and Music in Games? If so, I want to hear about it! #amsmt25 @ucpress.bsky.social

This chandelier at #AMSMT25 looks like ice cubes

I've always thought this, but I just wanted to say... @musicologess.bsky.social is really the Bluesky Laureate of #NACVGM. Anyway, enjoying SMT/AMS 2025!
