I’m the slowest composer nowadays; composing The Sword of Ianna took me years. Good news is that I’m slowly composing a new 8 bit soundtrack. Bad news is that it will probably take me an unreasonable lot of time again… m.soundcloud.com/joemcalby_zx...

Aside from Astérix, Smurfs and Tintin, another license I enjoyed composing music for was Turok, and I did it 4 times. This IP was very liberating; most of the time I had to compose music for games with happy characters, but with Turok I could do just whatever I wanted! soundcloud.com/joemcalby/tu...

Yo sigo con lo mío... La número 32 es una Hermes 3000 de 1968 con tipografía Director Pica, poco habitual. La compré para piezas y acabó siendo ella la que recibió las piezas de la otra. Estoy que no quepo en mi gozo con esta máquina; tiene un tacto sublime.

Aww, this is nice to see. My Elden Ring journal is on display now as part of a museum exhibition in Melbourne, Australia.

Me estoy escuchando todas las versiones habidas y por haber de The Ecstasy of Gold, de Ennio Morricone, que me emociona mucho. Esta versión está muy bien pero, ¿por qué el director está disfrazado de Neo? www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYo_...

The Asterix franchise is where I spent much of my early career, both composing and coding the music (and drawing sprites for the first ones). As a lifelong fan of the comics, it was a deeply rewarding experience - especially the time I spent crafting the soundtrack for the SNES version.
A video game developer’s nightmare can, over time, become a player’s most wonderful memory. Never forget it. #gamedevfacts

I'm working on an update for l'Abbaye des Morts (2010). I don't want to change much because this game is intended to be super raw technically and it's a classic with tons of editions for retro systems. But I feel that a couple of tweaks could make it more enjoyable. locomalito.com/games/abbaye...
