How does an #indiestudio create a soundtrack for their 17th century folk horror game?

Step one: Hire a badass audio team.
Step two: let them be their weird, wonderful selves.

@chrisrickwood.bsky.social made his own tagelharp (YES - handmade!), then he also tracked down a hurdy-gurdy just for us.

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤

My time at Heart Machine has sadly come to a rather abrupt end. I was there for almost 6 years, & had been working on Breaker since summer 2020. It was a pleasure working with them!

Now, a new chapter begins.

After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs.

I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild.

RTs appreciated 🙏

The Terrible Layoff Beast has come for me and I no longer work for Heart Machine. It was a good team, I'm sad I won't get to work with them anymore.

If you're looking for a game designer, I'm available for full time gigs and consulting. I'm pretty OK at it.

I'll have more info to share in a bit.

Hi friends. Unfortunately, my time at Heart Machine is coming to an end. I’m seeking a new role and would appreciate your support. Saying goodbye to such a talented team is difficult, but I am excited for the next adventure. <3

I'll have more info soon.

Thanks everyone. Stay strong out there.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

We are horrified by the federal government laying siege to our beloved City and terrorizing members of our community in coordinated and widespread ICE raids today. These raids are cruel, tear families apart, and are an affront to who we are as a city. Attacking and corralling community members from local hardware stores and warehouses is just another instance of dehumanizing immigrant workers. The City of Los Angeles is built by immigrants. LA is stronger, better, and a true testament of our principles when we welcome and care for our immigrant neighbors. 

The City of LA’s Sanctuary City Ordinance prohibits City resources from being used to aid federal immigration enforcement. However, today, the City witnessed through videos and media coverage Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers within the vicinity of ICE raids. LAPD’s presence raises serious questions about whether we are abiding by our City’s mandate as a Sanctuary City and is a cause for concern and confusion regarding LAPD’s role.

I have begun communications with LAPD leadership to determine the reason behind LAPD’s presence at today’s raids. A preliminary explanation offered by LAPD is that LAPD is deployed to calls for help regardless of who is requesting their assistance, e.g. ICE, another agency or a member of the public. While we await formal answers to our community’s questions, my Office will be assessing the impact that today’s activities have had on our city resources and your tax dollars.

As City Controller, we will be formally requesting information from the LAPD to determine the financial impact these ICE raids have had in using City resources, such as the LAPD’s involvement and response to the resulting demonstrations.

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.
