I spoke at ADC about building a seamless dynamic music system for a Space game using audio middleware & #Unity. 👀 how I bridge #gamedesign and audio middleware creating smooth explore-to-combat transitions. Less lag, more immersion. #gamedev #videogamecomposer

Heard of "Caribbean Noir?" @chasebethea.bsky.social pioneered it! Chase found the bassline for Duppy Detective Tashia when walking into a guitar store & playing the bass for the 1st time. 🤯 He demonstrated & discussed how stepping out of traditional workflows creates a boon. #gamedev #gdocexpo2026

I have to admit that finding inspiration to indite music for #videogames the past 15yrs has had it's challenges. In this brief interview clip on the FilAmTV Network LLC hosted by Jessica, I share the ways in which my ideas flow. My "GGs" stand for "growing and giving". #videogamecomposer
