New Podcast Debut


I was invited to be a guest on the podcast, ‪@SoundDiscussionPodcast‬


In this episode, I discuss the intricacies of #adaptivesoundtracks, the importance of #dynamicmusic in enhancing the player experience, and the technical skills required to bring compositions to life.


I also reflect on my experiences working on various projects as a #videogamecomposer, including the innovative techniques I employ to create immersive soundscapes.


In addition, I speak on the evolution of #gameaudio over the past decade, the impact of different time signatures on gameplay, the balance between artistic expression and industry standards.

BIG LOVE to the hosts Nate, Ben and Neil for having me on the show.

Playlist 👂 consideration

"Element of Danger" was indited when I saw an old retail work colleague drum on a Pepsi rim can. Then, I recorded him drumming on my staircase rail. I built the rest of the track around that.

Playlist consideration

"Vysara's Proving Grounds". This one of my favs. Themed after the Goddess "Vysara" who likes games so the track exudes tantalizing /ambiguity tones.

This track also aired on the "Pixelated Audio Podcast" Ep. 20 (one of my earlier guest features)

Playlist Add Consideration 👂

"Mainframe" from the visual novel game "</reality>"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQyRz...

The title of this track was inspired by the TV series "Reboot" .

In the game, you a play character that plays as a character in an Online MMORPG and this is the theme of the song. This is quite meta. But if you watched Reboot, you can see why I chose this title.
