I helped with naming this! I'm pretty proud of the whimsy and the punnines! The game and art are really cool, too!

Everytime i do any creative design or writing, I tend to write music to accompany it. Just helps me get into the right mindset. Didn't really do that writing the screenplay draft I just did, but man did the urge hit me after. Is this latin horror or spookathon? #music #composer

I just finished the first draft of my first original screenplay! Buddy detective film by way of cosmic horror. Deeply Latine. Fun and horrific, hopefully. Still a ways until its done, but man, it feels good to get this draft down! Hoping that it gets it filmed down the line!

Three different short films I've made music for are in 3 different festivals in the coming weeks. I don't know if this has hit me quite yet. One is in the Flatland Film Fest, another is on the Amarillo International Film Festival, and the last in the Hub City Horror Festival.

The "Main Titles" from the new RE movie just released and... i think its a remix of the infamous trumpet song from the directors cut of the old RE1? Its not perfect 1:1, but its there, I think. Such a deep cut, makes me want to see the movie even more!

Started working on a spec script for a short film. More for fun than anything else, but who knows? Does Shane Black's The Nice Guys meets eldritch horror work? I think thats the vibe. It'll work, right?

I feel like the press around the new Resident Evil movie, and by press i mean the loud online contigent of "fans", would have been better had they added the Outbreak subtitle. Its essentially an adaptation of those games, which is probably the best way to do it.

Man, it seems like all the things I've been working on the last few months are all releasing at the sane time! As such, here's a short film I scored! It's about not wanting to fall asleep for fear of what tomorrow might bring, except a little more literal! I really went NIN on it!

The last thing I worked on for t h was finale of a project i was on for almost 2 years! Bittersweet feelings. Happy its done, but sad it's done. Worked with really great people, we made a hell of an audiodrama! Listen to the show, search The List City - Tell Ne Something Studios on youtube/spotify!

Currently redlining and rewriting a contract for a thing that was supposed to be a fun side thing and now wondering if its worth it? I'm combing through this document like its a job, ya know? Currently striking an entire section about digital doubles (ai clones), if that tells you anything.

Another cool thing I'm doing. Finished our last pre tech week rehearsal for a play I'm directing! Its a 15 minute mini play, amd its great! Wonderful actors and story. I've had a pretty darn good week for creativity!

Actors rehearse a play in the background, they are out of focus. In the foreground, a script that reads "A Day In The Life", it is in focus. This is an attempt at fancy photography by the director who is behind the camera.

A while back, I guested on an actual play podcast where I played someone we can all relate, that one kid that wears too many layers to the beach! Oh, and he had the powers of the trickster, ol' Coyote!

Submitted a demo cut for the final episode of an audio drama I've been working on for the last few months, and it... fells bittersweet? Like, I'm ready to be done with the job, but I'm kind of sad that its almost over. Funny how that works.

My biggest critique of Spider-Man Brand New Day is that Peter is a cop. He's a flock camera using cop. I dig everything else about it, except for that detail.

Ganondorf. Specifically Oot and Wind Waker Ganon. He's a leader of a bunch of brown people were forced into the desert because of bigotry. His people thought of as nothing but savage thieves. Dying to exposure. The triforce driving him mad in the end. I get why he did it, though.

Started writing my first, actual film script. It's a story thats been in my head for a while. Feels nice to put it down on paper. I mean technically this is the second time. The first was a micro short story. So... I'm adapting a short story into a screenplay! Huzzah!

Things I ate to usher in a new decade of life! Breakfast - some sourdough French toast with maple syrup! Dinner - steak sammy in sourdough (same loaf) with a side of pepper and sea salt chips!

Just heard a preview from a project I composed for a few months back, it *dolphin noisee*! Really cool to hear it in context; sometimes it's hard to imagine how a finished thing will come together, but man is it nice when it does!

Yesterday I took part in acting auditions as a casting director! What a weird and wonderful experience. While I'm first love is video games and music, opening up myself to new experiences has been really fun. Hell, it's kept the burnout away a bit longer, too!

I got picked for 2 things outside of my comfort zone. Both on the same day. Found out about one after the fact because of a missed email. Buddy told me. Got chosen to direct a play as part of a 10 minute play showcase, and casted as the main villain in an upcoming indie film!

My pitch for a Minecraft movie is that it is and always was an old school liminal horror. The hours before the sun sets. Lush forests filled with green and sliver of light sneaking through the canopies. So beautiful you could lose yourself in it. Almost. You have to get home before "they" arrive...

If you dig sci fi western, John Carpenter, and anti fascist stories, then I have a recommendation for you! Check out this audio drama I'm scoring and doing some sound design for! There are 4 episodes released so far, but the 3rd is my favorite! #composer #sounddesigner #audiodrama

Got a lot of new people from the no ai gamedev list, so an introduction is in order. I'm a sound designer and composer who works in lots of different mediums. Current vg I'm working on is still in early dev, but it's a space game with heavy themes. You know, cozy! I also post art that i do, too!

Watching John Carpenter's "They Live", and once again it strikes me at how relevant to the current times it still is. Like, if you wouldn't have to change much to make it work in the modern day. It may even work better now. It's free on YT if you haven't seen it, yet! I highly recommend it!

A lot of times, you'll join a project, and it'll be a while before you have anything you can show or talk about. A little over a year and a half, in this case. It's a Scifi western narrative podcast, and I'm doing sfx and music for, and its launched! Give it a listen! #scifi #western #composer

"Killing Strangers" is the John Wick theme to me. Which, while a good song, i really hate that it's by an asshole musician who doesn't deserve the accolade.

Worked all night in sound stuff and ended up getting carried away and doing a full sound sound and music design on a film scene, as well as re editing a short film rough that I was giving feedback on. In my defense, I had to see if my suggestions would work. They did.

Did some gnarly sound fx work on a short horror film! Had to give the vocal a deep, grungy, distorted timbre while keeping the performance intact, which I think I accomplished. It has a Mike Patton from The Darkness mixed with the baby from PT vibe.

Got the insomnia, so here's some good cosmic horror novels I think you should read! First up, the "Eldritch Beasts Series" by Primary Hollow. Castlevania, except the monsters relegated to legend have returned, and the Belmont-esque family is on its last legs. Really fun romp.

Cover for the first Eldritch Beasts book. A hooded figure covered in shadow walking through what looks like a spooky ass town.
