Had a bit of a break from making music due to both being overworked and other life stuff. Not trying to force it, just recuperating and getting inspired through other means, observing the world around me #music #art
Stuff we worry about… projects, deadlines, ambition. But when the body says “enough” and goes all out of whack, all these trivial things become ever more so. Take care of your heath, other stuff just doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things

Working on some automotive sound design lately. It's kinda neat taking #gamedev experience into the physical world
Exactly how John Barry wrote it
Excerpts from BLOCKLORDS soundtrack are locked and loaded for release on April 11th. Feels great to share some new tunes with the world

The convenience stores in Asia are just so much better than those in the west. This one is super cute too
Seems I’ve been able to reclaim weekends to just being weekends without guilt of being unproductive or whatever. Refreshing

Plenty of gaming events coming up in Europe. I’d not bother with GDC considering the crazies running the US
This looks amazing!
How much wider of a conflict does it need to be to stop worrying about provoking anything else? They’re throwing everything they can at Ukraine and have been since day one. Time to stop tiptoeing around the crazies
Really curious how long the themes are? Are they all intertwined somehow? And what’s your plan for implementing them? Would a theme play when the corresponding card is drawn?
Tubular bells solve more problems than one would think
Just put together a reel with sound design and music excerpts from BLOCKLORDS. Really happy with it and proud of the work we’ve done on it.

After working a lot in February feeling quite fatigued, but the good thing is the next couple of days are for prepping releases and such, which is just fun to do. Releasing bits of soundtrack alongside the game

I remember doing a 48 hour film and I had one of the Intel Mac laptops back then. I mixed the whole thing in headphones only to realize that the hum and bass I was cutting out of everything was the laptop fan
I find that if my body needs that rest, until it’s provided I’d be running on fumes and these feelings won’t go away. Also, reminding yourself that regularly, no matter how silly it may seem at times also works imho
It’s not so much about lowering expectations of yourself as it is about stopping equating your work output and your self-worth if that makes any sense. Work is just an aspect of life and it isn’t any more important than the other ones.
Used car salesman bullying a reasonable person into a shitty deal, realizing it didn’t work and throwing a tantrum while waving his short kfc stained hands around. As a Ukrainian I’m sad cause putin’s basically taken over the White House. Hopefully Americans won’t let that happen for much longer
Only classic scratch lounges, none of that new age stuff
This is awful, really sorry you’re going through this
Isla Mujeres is a cute little island right next to Cancun. It doesn’t deserve the amount of douche that this is going to produce 😫
Cool premise right there
Going to see The Brutalist now. Don’t know if I’ll be any wiser after it, but certainly noticeably older. Super excited for a longer film with intermission.

Correctly and comfortably engraved parts make up 65-70% of a studio session’s success rate. It doesn’t matter how good the music is if the musicians spend the entire session trying to decipher what you’ve put on the page.
Care for your musicians, and they will care for you!
A really nice setup
So fun to be prepping a game for release. It works, then it doesn’t, then it gets fixed, then something else breaks. Exhilarating stuff

Always worth catching an orchestra live when you get a chance. Only reason to live in a bigger city imho
Just prepped mixing projects on 4 different tracks. 3 of them to add to the battle system we’re developing in #FMOD
The other one is probably the best piece of music I’ve ever written. Totally atypical for me and therefore so fun. Can’t wait to share

My country might not have a rebound in it sadly. Considering it’s been sold. Ugh
