I love that if you make a feed for just the term “Game Audio” it’s like 80% people with OBS issues trying to stream.

Can’t wait to blow your minds with rapid-fire round of things you can do in REAPER that range from “I didn’t know I needed this” to complete workflow transformation at Airwiggles AirCon 2026, the #1 online conference for anyone crafting audio for media 👾

We met some of the crew that brought us the amazing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to chat #gamedev and #gameaudio!

Dynamic Reflections, Mixing & Optimization in Wwise | Sentinel's Revenge Audio Implementation Reel YouTube video by BØLT

New year, new game audio implementation reel! This time, it’s a tongue-in-cheek Cyberpunk-esque shooter with lots of chunky explosions and sassy cyborgs. Highlighting Wwise workflows like early reflections and occlusion, dynamic mixing, and resource optimization 👾

Another big update for #GhostOfYotei drops April 10th, adding some really challenging and seriously fun 4-player content to Legends mode 👹

Gotta say, Al slop has made April Fools a lot less fun because there’s barely any effort in a lot of these gags anymore

Excited to finally be able to share some of the work I did as an audio implementer on Ghost of Yōtei! Despite spending 9+ months doing mostly Foley, I’m relieved to say I still LOVE Foley 😄👾

The desire to move all my work to an offline Windows XP PC (which would still run the latest REAPER version btw) is real strong lately 😫

They’re promptly deleting any comments made on their LinkedIn posts so yea, such integrity, much ethics.

It’s more important than ever that we carry forth the support we received from those who helped us along the way and give the next generation a seat at the table so that we can all grow and thrive together.

For those who come after ❤️

I really hope we all can take some of the warmth we experienced these past couple of days into our own corners of the world and use it to enrich the lives of those who call on us for mentorship, community support, or to simply have someone to talk to.

After all, few things could better illustrate our passion for game audio than seeing the sheer number of folks who managed to turn up at 8 AM for our daily morning meetups!! Seriously.

#gameaudioGDC 2026 is a wrap. The game audio community is truly unique and means the world to me. When I decided to make the switch to games in 2022, I never expected to meet SO many incredible creatives from around the world who’d soon become dear friends, mentors, mentees, and colleagues.

Heading out for GDC on Sunday & trying to make it to as many #gameaudiogdc events as possible!

Let’s chat about the cool stuff you’re working on, which Eurorack modules have recently left a ding in your credit score, which dish you particularly love cooking, or just about anything else!

Back in 2015 at Berklee…
Sleep 📉
Self worth 📉
Finances 📉
Chops 📈
Anxiety 📈
Endorsement deals 📈

Jazz academia definitely strained my relationship to music but having gone through it also taught me so much about myself.

Needless to say, I’m beyond thrilled to have found my home in game audio 👾❤️
