ICYMI many people want to know what's it really like in the life of me as a #videogamecomposer from my specific perspective as I traverse into being a solo #liveperformer of my #videogamemusic catalog?

Well, I can show you better than I can tell you. The video offers a true perspective what I experienced and all the hard work I had to do leading up to it.

​
​Here is the behind-the-scenes recap of the Symphonic Distortion #liveevent.

Tune in til' the tune end!

Even though Tashia was frustrated with not finding her clues in a timely fashion she continued her persistence with searching for them.

It was coming down to the wire within the two hour share deadline and bam! The final one came through.

With jubilation, Tashia was able to piece her clues together and discover a listening party!

In celebration of the game release,June 8th, there will be a #soundtrack listening/release party exclusively on ‪@bandcamp‬ Tuesday, June 2nd at 4:00PM PST.
