Story time. When I was 13, I'd made some really corny rescue-mission-type music on Garageband for a planned Minecraft project with some school friends. Said project never took off, and the music I'd made never saw the light of day, but for whatever reason…
Veeery late post, but I'll be hanging around for the first day of Play By Play 2026 – not speaking this time round, but just there to vibe, catch up with old friends, and meet some new folks too. Come say hi if you spot me! :)

In the process of smashing out some last-minute tunes for @vectrix.bsky.social's team's entry into the Hytale mod jam, I appear to have slipped back into my "generic battle music" phase by mistake. Whoops ⚔️ #gameaudio @hytale.bsky.social

I've had my orchestral music performed live quite a few times by this point, but for the first time ever, I FINALLY have some professionally-produced video evidence! A huge thank you to SOUNZ, RNZ Concert, and the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra for making this happen <3 #NewMusicFriday

How do you convey the complexities of creating orchestral game music to a room of (mostly) non-musical game developers? Simple: You break it down like it's a video game 🎮 Watch me do just that during my talk at NZGDC 2025: youtu.be/LZR9RK3JQBY #GameAudio #IndieGameDev

If you're going to #PAXAUS as part of #MIGW then you MUST check out the NZ CODE stand. I've seen every single game on show and if you can't find something you like then I'm afraid you are clinically dead.

Nice to be back at #NZGDC. Great solid specific #gameaudio presentations from @vius.bsky.social and #NZSO ‘s Claire Wackrow this morning, and so nice to have those conversations with dev teams and audio friends.
Haven't gotten to write soaring string melodies like this in a LONG while. Excited to share my latest piece, written as a one-off menu theme for an unannounced video game currently in development! Huge thanks to the European Recording Orchestra for their stunning performance 🎶 #gameaudio #gamedev
