TFW you achieve a goal you set for yourself and get to fill in the other eye on Daruma.

Is the world clamoring for a Solo Album from Yours Truly? No, but I’m making one anyway. I’ve been recording some orchestral elements on weekends w/ a great group of players in Louisiana, and I’m telling you, it sounds fabulous. I *think* I can get this all done and released by the end of the year.

Hey #gameaudio people. I am giving away an extra pass to GameSoundCon in LA next month! See the video for some more details and DM me if you think you’re a good fit. Please share if you can!

Endlessly looping this cool groove I’m working on and maybe going a little nuts in the studio on a Saturday night.

I’m doing stupid amounts of research on such an ultra niche topic, I occasionally have to stop and laugh at myself. I now know way too much about the production of Star Wars circa 1975-1978 and I may be the only one who cares about the purpose of my research.

Game audio seems to be a mystery to most devs in other disciplines, which is not a dig, just my experience. Here’s a great blog from Dave Shumway, audio director for Wildgate, where he goes into depth on the interactive audio system of the game, including music. www.audiokinetic.com/en/community...

I’m trying to consolidate all the videos I have of my music onto my neglected YouTube channel in the hopes of resuscitating the channel a bit. I’ll never be a real content creator, but I have some ideas for future videos that I hope people will enjoy. youtu.be/9ZTLSDGTivY?...

I had such a great time talking to @monolithfiji.bsky.social about some of my past in games but mostly about one particular game, The Beatles: Rock Band, one of the coolest projects I’ve ever worked on. Set aside a couple of hours and listen to us blab!

Maclaine Diemer @maclaine.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I cannot tell a lie: I have been listening to the most recent piece of music I wrote on repeat all day and bopping my head to it. Sorry. It's good.

Flangin’ with the dusty old box from Eventide. It’s somewhere close to fifty years old, but it still sounds fantastic!

I’m excited to announce my involvement with the score for Guild Wars 3! I’m grateful to be a part of it along with the wonderful Kazuma Jinnouchi and Asuka Ito. Music has always been an important pillar of the GW franchise, and I’m thrilled to help shape the sound of Tyria in this new chapter.

The first video game I shipped in my career. Still a huge milestone for me.

Lately I’ve been experimenting with meticulously recreating famous drum breaks and trying to get a truly vintage vinyl sound. There are no record samples here, just me playing a funky bass line over programmed and HEAVILY processed drums and percussion. My sound design background really helps.

Maclaine Diemer @maclaine.bsky.social · 27/07/2026

Gamers, help me out. Is it dumb to get a Steam Deck now? I missed the boat several times over and am afraid that between the rising cost and the age of it, I’m wasting money when a better alternative exists or will exist very soon.

Folks, sometimes things don't work out. At least this one won't be buried forever. Getting to write music for a bona fide Myst game was a dream come true for Yours Truly, even if this is all it ended up being. The team at Cyan are incredible, passionate people, and I'm grateful to work with them.

Newly acquired 1977 R2-D2 that will sit atop my ARP 2600 (AKA the synthesizer used to make his voice) for inspiration. Give me your power, Artoo!

I'm back from a prolonged absence to tell you all that #WILDGATE is finally available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC! Scored by Yours Truly. Working on the music for this game was the highlight of my year in 2024, and I'm thrilled it's finally out there in the world. playwildgate.com

Spent Saturday night on the Universal Studios back lot where they shot the town square exteriors for the Back to the Future movies. They had live actors doing an immersive experience, recreating scenes from the movie. Super fun!

PAX East was a blast last week. Good to be back in my old stomping grounds of Boston for a bit, reconnect with some friends, and make new ones. Hopefully I'll get back next year! Here's a little fun video I made.
