Good to see you made it here in one piece. The first solo launch is a doozy, isn’t it?

I adore this piece--I knew I wanted to publish it in the journal the moment I saw the talk. Congrats to JRM on a fantastic article on a beautiful game score!

Today is the 60th Anniversary of Star Trek, my absolute favorite fictional universe, and the one that consistently brought hope, optimism, and, frankly, gave us a future to strive for, a goal to work towards. Happy Birthday, Star Trek. Live long and prosper. 🖖 (Edit: Picture added)

So, I've been playing Sulfur (early access, FPS Roguelike), and the way it's structured, I managed to beat the first level boss, victory-return to the home base with all the stuff I'd acquired, and progress through the first biome of the second level and a large way through the second biome...(cont)

It's #BandcampFriday, friends! Allow me, your humble brass sommelier, to suggest something a little "off the beaten path", a little *wild*, even. Yes, it's that one, the one where we gathered our brass and percussion friends and covered DONKEY KONG COUNTRY! thegamebrass.bandcamp.com/album/brassr...

It's #BandcampFriday! Right before the pandemic, I had the pleasure of writing a score for an exciting cyberpunk-meets-mythology CCG called "Mythgard". It was a small project, but was remarkably well received, and folks really seemed to like the OST. johnrobertmatz.bandcamp.com/album/mythga...

It’s only Catharsis if it comes from the Cathar region of Southern France, otherwise it’s just sparkling pressure release.

Well, CICADAMATA is absolutely a "WAKE UP" game, when you're feeling like you're crashing. I won't say that it makes you feel like you've experienced a fever dream, but wow.

Two episodes into ZETA Gundam and I feel like this subtitle sums up everything about his character.
