Lazy River was featured at Summer Game Fest via Day of the Devs! I'm doing all the music, sound design (100% original, recorded specifically for the game!) & implementation. It's so much fun and extremely silly. youtu.be/OBxP0xlyBXg?...

I loved our conversation on the Razzle Dazzle show - join us as we talk about authenticity, my earliest influences, the evolution of electronic sounds and the way I approach the compositional process. Thanks so much for having me!

Sorry for this common-expression-misuse rant, but: "begs the question" does not mean "prompts the question". it is used to point out a logical fallacy / circular reasoning. a statement like "This song is good because it sounds good" begs the question. Thanks for coming to my (Ted) talk.
I just burned through Murakami's 1Q84. Overall loved it. It's not without its issues and would benefit from some editing but what a story.
Great to hear the track "Skyscraper - Form" composed by @azuria.bsky.social for the Possessor(s) soundtrack played on @classicfm.com this Saturday! 🎧 Catch up with the show here: www.globalplayer.com/catchup/clas... Track starts at 00:27:57 ⏰ @devolverdigital.com @heartmachine.bsky.social
Thinking forward to GDC - what if I DJed a set at a party? Hit me up if that sounds interesting!!
Can anyone who has changed their main Google workspace account name and associated email address report on … how that went? Wondering about any issues it creates esp if YouTube artist accounts are associated with it. Probably a bad idea but it’s a good time to break stuff since everyone is off rn
anyone: how are you doing? me: youtu.be/kM9WaAWrWjg?...

POSSESSOR(S) is launching today. I have been the producer on this project for three years, & the last few weeks have been difficult. Most of the team isn't around anymore to celebrate the launch, so I wrote many words about these incredible people to celebrate them. 🖤 shorturl.at/MpMra

I am not one to post like this usually, but as things have developed recently, I want to take a minute and get some stuff off my chest.

POSSESSOR(s) is out!! Huge congrats to all. Was such an honor to be involved. I hope you love what we did.
Laced@lacedrecords.com · 9mo agoAzuria Sky and Joel Corelitz awaken dreams and nightmares with the Possessor(s) soundtrack, a world of decayed pianos, haunting textures, and ambient melodies echoing what was and what remains. 🎹 🎶 Now available for streaming on your favourite platforms: lnk.to/possessor-s
I absolutely can't wait for you to hear what @azuria.bsky.social and I did for @possessors.bsky.social! In the meantime, here's Sky's incredible theme with some words about the OST. TOMORROW!! (😱) at joelcorelitz.bandcamp.com, & on Streaming - and on Sky's and @lacedrecords.com Bandcamp too.
One cool thing about working on a lot of different kinds of games is: I've gotten really good at expressing my voice a lot of different ways. There's one game that I feel like is still the most purely distilled expression of my compositional voice. It's TumbleSeed: youtu.be/j22aa15o0iQ?...

just made a little intro to pin to my profile. and true story, this was the first musical group i was *absolutely obsessed* with, as a kid in the 80s. my teacher literally sent a letter home, i was so fixated on it. it changed my life and made me pursue music: youtu.be/kYw_gTWYssM?...

Joel Corelitz@joelcorelitz.bsky.social · 9mo agoI’m Joel. Music is one of the most important things in my life. My whole career, I’ve been making sound for things. I might have made the sounds in your car. I made sounds for the robot that did surgery on a grape. I’ve made music for a lot of games. I'll make your project sound amazing.

Well... I just reached a very significant milestone. I remember being super bummed when I got Bit-O-Honey on Halloween as a kid bc I thought they were gross. I just ate one literally just now and I thought it was very good, so...
To juggle 10000+ things and still make everyone feel seen and heard takes a very special kind of producer. Myriame is the best I've ever worked with.
Myriame・．🦂@mllepilgrim.bsky.social · 9mo agoMy heart is heavy & I might have more to say on that later, but I've got news today that my time at Heart Machine will come to an end after POSSESSOR(S) ships. I'm honestly too busy... literally shipping the game to start actively looking for work, but I'll be looking for my next gig in December. 🥲
When Rhem and Luca face a demon-possessed scavenger named Beverly, they uncover the tragic story of a grandmother consumed by loss and darkness. Defeating her demon not only frees her as a skilled crafter but also teaches Luca a haunting truth about the balance between host and demon. 11.11.25. 🐻
Well aren't you just the cutest litt- ...oh. ((( Possessor(s). 11.11.25. PC+PS5. 🐧 )))
This is one of my favorite interviews I've ever done - great questions, good conversation, felt so natural and showcased my thinking in such a transparent way. Thanks again for having me.
Joel Corelitz@joelcorelitz.bsky.social · last yr.Really enjoyed my chat with Nate Kadlac on the Hey, Good Game podcast about how I see the real job of composition—not just writing music, but thinking deeply, exploring ideas, and helping devs find just the right fit. www.hey.gg/podcast/joel...
