Had a great time reconnecting with an old friend yesterday. He’s an amazingly talented film composer and is just killing it lately! I love seeing my friends thrive and flourish doing what they love. Check out his work! ryanmarth.com

Anyone on here play Valorant? I need teammates to play comp/ranked. Solo queuing competitive with randos is crushing my soul.

Doing sound for the legend herself, Sue Bird! She is now the first WNBA player to have her own statue!

I don’t know what I did to deserve this life, but I’m certainly not complaining. Just spent the past two hours listening to Nine Inch Nails rehearse.

My nerdiness has reached new heights. I spent all morning watching videos about Klingon music theory.

Momma killed it last night. I spend so much time working with huge arena bands who lip sync to prerecorded vocals and use computers to make everything sound perfect, I almost forgot how refreshing it is to just be in a room with other humans playing, singing, and sharing art.

Making a spaceship game and teaching myself Unreal in the process. Here's spaceship prototype #1 with a fun barrel roll mechanic. Until now, all my gamedev experience has been in music/audio. If anyone wants to teach me Unreal, I'll trade you for instrument/music composition/audio lessons!

A few photos from Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou a few weeks ago. Shot using an Olympus XA with Kodak UltraMax 400 and Lomachrome Metropolis film.

So good to be back in the homeland. I missed this city so much!

New goal for 2025: look like a character from Cyberpunk 2077.

Working with Billie Eilish for the next couple nights. Check out the size of this stage! And the entire thing is a giant video screen. Gonna be a fun one!

Just got the dumbest haircut of my life. Might even be worse than the time my mom accidentally buzzed a bald spot in the back of my head and had to cover it up with mascara before sending me off to the first day of fourth grade. I look like Lord Farquaad.

My son shreds on piano, but couldn’t seem more disinterested when I suggest he start a band. Then last month he asked, “How do I get my 808s to sound boomy like Future?” What?! He’s been secretly making beats for his rapper friends at school! And they’re actually really good! Couldn’t be more proud.

Anyone else fill every moment with projects then wonder why they’re always tired? I’m currently writing an indie rock album, a synthwave album, a D&D companion album, a sci-fi novel, learning a new language, and creating a Hong Kong SFX library. And that’s in addition to full time & freelance work.🤯

Took my son to a Seattle Kraken game for his 17th birthday. Couldn’t be more proud of this young man.

Just chillin on the ice, channeling my inner Brandon Tanev.

It’s been a pleasure working with Usher and crew these past few days. Shoutout to Frank and the Usher audio team for being some of the friendliest and most professional people in the biz.

In addition to composing music for media, I do audio visual engineering for arena concerts and professional sports teams. Yesterday I rigged up a camera and mic to the chest of the Seattle Kraken goalie to broadcast live during their Skills Showcase. Check out this POV!
