This is too real. It’s hard to turn off the creative side of your brain sometimes 🤣 Once it’s created one song it just starts to pour out

One of my favorite tracks from the game. It’s so simple but, to me at least, does a great job communicating the necessary emotions to the players. I can’t wait for y’all to hear the full thing in November 💜 #gamedev #gameaudio

Will this be on the test? Jk jk I actually really love this approach. Somehow makes the game feel cozier

They can do a lot to mess with your head creatively…especially when we get into the zone of imposter syndrome, etc. But it’s good to remember that the fact your music is out there and being listened to (even if just by one person) is a huge win

I’m about to feel so stupid but Ruri? Is it an anime or manga or something? I’m always looking for more that’s why I’m curious lol

Sound design never sounds like a real job no matter how hard you try to describe it to people 🤣 And tbh that makes me love it even more

Fact: I’m a huge nerd who loves Skyrim….so when my bf convinced me to write new music that could eventually be compiled into a mod I of course said yes! 🏔️ I hope you like it 🙈 Let me know what you think! #skyrim #gameaudio #gamedev

The reason I made this post last night is because of a conversation I saw happening. In it, game devs were talking about how composers don't play games they are working on. The reasons ranged a bit, some going so far as to say composers aren't gamers so having them play the game is pointless. 🧵

Eric Lagergren @composereric.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

Oh that’s fair. If it wasn’t an issue I’d play the game. Whether or not it ended up making a difference it definitely wouldn’t hurt. When composing for a game you have to use every opportunity to immerse yourself in it so might as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Eric Lagergren @composereric.bsky.social · 24/09/2025

I’m late to the party but….i rarely play the games but I insist on screen captures and a detailed explanation of the story. That’s usually enough for me to get the vibe and create something that matches

Here’s another snippet from the music I created for Hyper Violet’s upcoming game, Erebound 💀 I love the bassoon. It legit may be my favorite instrument. I know it sounds intimidating here but I promise they’re cool. Let me know what you think in the comments 💜 #vgm #gameaudio #gamedev

Eric Lagergren @composereric.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

That’s fair 😅😅 Look on the bright side, even with beginner technique you made music that sounds fantastic! That’s gotta make you feel hella good about where you’re at now

Totally not even joking that demented elephant sound at the end is fantastic 💜 This game is looking and sounding amazing!

Eric Lagergren @composereric.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

Honestly with that instrumentation I was bound to fall in love with it 😅 Really lovely job!! Is that you on the koto? (I hope that’s it sorry if I got it wrong)

Eclipse was essentially a compositional challenge for myself. I wrote out 16 measures of solo piano, recorded it, and challenged myself to create a new electronic piece using nothing but those 16 bars. Here’s a look at some of what I did to make 16 bars take up 3 minutes. #music #piano #composer

Looking back on it, #PacificDrive was a fun but very unusual project to work on - writing the individual pieces went by pretty quickly, but creating each "instrument" from scratch could take weeks of recording, editing, programming, and looking for happy accidents out in the real world! #gamemusic

All genAI sucks. It sucks when it generates words. It sucks when it generates images. It sucks when it generates videos. It sucks when it generates fake-ass voices for your audiobooks. When I say Fuck genAI I mean *all* of it.

It’s usually the people who “want” to become artists, etc but don’t realize it takes practice who make that argument. It’s so frustrating 😭 Why go into art or music or something creative if you’re not even gonna create?

Eric Lagergren @composereric.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

Sounds fantastic! I’m really excited to hear the entire thing this weekend when I get a chance 😍

As a Finale user I’ve been procrastinating opening Dorico for about a year now 😅 But I’ve got a plan to create piano arrangements of fun game tunes to help me practice this wild new software. So far I think I’m actually doing well! #music #dorico #composer

Had an absolute blast this past week in the Grand Tetons for the Wyoming Festival. Hearing a big audience smile and laugh at my music (in a good way) really reminded me why I make music in the first place. Go go gadget rehearsal iPhone recording 🍄 #newmusic #composer #stringquartet

It's been a busy summer! I finished this piece in May as a gift for my partner, @composereric.bsky.social . I spent a lot of time on it as it meant a lot to me, and I loved how it turned out! Unfortunately the gold paint in areas doesn't shine in a picture. #acrylic #painting #art #fox #music

Acrylic painting on wooden panel of two foxes, one grey and one red, touching noses while standing on a twisting piano keyboard that turns into colorful pastel sticks. There is a river of under the keyboard that the red fox's tail is dipped into as a paintbrush. The grey fox has a gold, wavy music staff with notes coming out of its head as well as decorative spirals. The background behind it is a teal blue, purple, and pink wave radiating outwards from the center. There is a bright pink center to the background where the foxes' noses touch.
