Can’t wait for people to hear what we’ve been up to! The musicians were absolutely incredible

Happy launch day to Nighthawks! Had a blast working with @wadjeteyegames.com to edit through tons of VO recordings for this. The writing is stellar and yet the voice actors absolutely take it next level. If you like vampires, a good story and some killer music from Thomas Regin def check it out!

That live musician would be the incredible Andy Lin! With killer support from Zac Zinger on xiao + flutes and Isaac Pérez on violin 🎶

I guess this is the start to my Elden Ring chiptune mod

Music from games like Elden Ring and Dark Souls with their intricate orchestration, huge sound, surprisingly delicate moments... that's me. Getting to explore that style would be a total dream project. If you're a dev looking for a dark, epic soundtrack -- let's chat!

Little peak at what @clarkaboud.bsky.social and I have been writing for @squiddershins.bsky.social upcoming RPG game Wishfarers!

Making this was harder than writing my whole chiptune album 💀 Album art I commissioned from Ajmal Rizni, animated by myself

Is it obvious how much I love Pokemon music?

Get ROSEWATER and LAMPLIGHT CITY together in the World of Vespuccia Bundle! Two narrative adventures where your choices shape the story set in an alternate 19th century. Both games for less than $20 during the Steam Summer Sale! store.steampowered.com/bundle/50641...

There's an Elden Ring fan game for the Game Boy?! Shoutout to the dev shin for making it, I love pixel art/chiptune aesthetics mixed with recent games and you can tell a lot of heart went into it!

You can hear this and all the rest of Mark’s amazing score in Rosewater, currently 25% off on Steam (and pick up the OST while you’re at it) store.steampowered.com/bundle/51976...

You see them looking at you from the haligtree you best turn around 😶‍🌫️

Sometimes all you need is one fab musician to carry a whole track. For me that's Zac Zinger 🪈

yeah I use AI to make album art... Artistic Intelligence

Sometimes wish I lived in the alternate reality where Elden Ring was made in the 90s

Elden Ring's godskin apostles is S-tier boss music IMO

No half measures for our boy Jeff 🦈

Really cool to see Rosewater win Best Audio, Best Programming, Best Visuals and Best Game(!!) at the 2025 AGS Awards! Big shoutout to @clarkaboud.bsky.social @brookeferdmusic.bsky.social Noah Kellman, Isaac Pérez Riera, and Zac Zinger who played on the soundtrack and to the game’s amazing cast 🤠

AiliA is out! 🪞 So grateful to Jingyu Sui, Andy Lin, Isaac Pérez Riera and Zac Zinger for their incredible musicianship on display in this soundtrack. AiliA is available on Steam and you can find the soundtrack on your usual suspects + Bandcamp! Links in bio 🪞

Celebrating Thanksgiving the English way 🇺🇸🫡

Very excited to be part of a panel at AdventureX with @jdwasabi.bsky.social, @thomasregin.bsky.social and @paulzmmermann.bsky.social moderated by Seoirse Dunbar! We’ll be talking game audio for adventure games, happening today 4:15pm if you’re around #AdvX25

Super excited to share that @clarkaboud.bsky.social and I are writing music for Wishfarers 💫 Easy to be inspired by what @squiddershins.bsky.social is making and what a perfect game for us to join forces on! Lots more synths/8-bit + guitar on the way

Had such a great time chatting with Josh! Covered so many fun topics that we got to really dig into, keep an eye out for part 2

New haul of Jeff comics! He always has the best expressions 😋😱😬

If you're a fan of adventure games Rosewater should def be on your list! Had the pleasure writing my own take on a Western soundtrack and the world-building here is some of the finest out there

this is me today really taken by the response to my Jeff music, appreciate all the wholesome comments!

Across the Frontier was one of my favorite pieces to write for Rosewater by @grundislav.games, here notated out! Kept most of the parts pretty simple to let everything breathe + play off each other, and Zac Zinger absolutely ran with it to make that shakuhachi part sound SO smooth.

Absolute dream to get to record with the FAMES orchestra! Little sneak peek of something I've been working on, coming soon... 🦈

started the day early with a casual 4 am choir session ☀️ had some truly fantastic singers, def made the time difference worth it!

No I'm not obsessed with Blue Prince how could you possibly draw that conclusion from my 8 spreadsheets, 20+ pages of handwritten notes and organized screenshots folder categorized by room, puzzle type and book name

Freshly recorded main theme for AiliA! Featuring Andy Lin on erhu, Isaac Pérez Riera on violin, and Zac Zinger on xiao + flute 🎶 Learning about Chinese instruments and writing for them has been a blast and finally hearing these parts live is really something else. More info on release soon!

It’s amazing how chance encounters can end up changing your life. If only I knew how important that day would end up being!

Had such a great time chatting with James!! Talking about everything from console sound chips and composer limitations leading to creativity to lots of details on how my collaboration with Francisco Gonzalez and my score to Rosewater came to be 🎶

GET IN HERE loving these acoustic versions!

Rosewater is only 15 reviews away from the magic number 50 that will change “Positive” to “Very Positive” and give it more visibility. If you’ve played the game and haven’t left a review yet, please do! It helps more than you can imagine. store.steampowered.com/app/1226670/...

Now that Rosewater is out in the wild, boy do I have a lot to share about producing the score! From recording with stellar musicians to crafting a unique sound palette for the West -- I'd love to chat through it all in an interview :] Just putting this out into the world! 🎶

The score to Rosewater wouldn't be what it is without the incredible musicians. Check out some of my favorite bits featuring: @clarkaboud.bsky.social @brookeferdmusic.bsky.social @grundislavgames.bsky.social @noahkellman.bsky.social Christian Lanz Christiane Ramirez Isaac Pérez Riera Zac Zinger
