Hey game audio people! I've been audio and music designer and composer for games since the mid 00s. I'd like to share two talks I did with esteemed colleagues - one from last year about New Tales from the Borderlands (my first score as inhouse composer) and the other from some time ago about Assassin's Creed: Syndicate with Austin Wintory. I'd be happy to answer any questions and get discussions going!

I feel very happy to say that the latest issue of the Journal of Sound and Music in Games features an article of mine: Industrial Techno and SID Sound Design in the Commodore 64 Game Slipstream. Many thanks to all who made this possible. 🔊 #commodore64 #demoscene #ludomusicology #vgm #musicology https://online.ucpress.edu/jsmg/issue/4/1

Thomas (@TheMediumIsPizza) and I managed to get in contact with Warren Davis, the desinger of the #QBert #arcade #game to ask him some questions about the code, the sound data, and the random voice generation. We will present that in our talk at the #ludomusicology conference in the end of march.

@DrJuliaKuttler Tag #ludomusicology and you’ll get tons of people who do this!

Can someone make me a screen-recording of gameplay for Tales of Symphonia, walking around Flanoir? It's for a publication and I'm not sure what the ethics are of just pulling someone else's off Youtube #ludomusicology

Ah, toothing pains on new platforms.
So lets try this again, an #introduction after 2 years of lurking.

I am an #artist in the overlap between #music, #gamedev, #glitchart and #coding.

I love #procedural and #generative art.

At the moment my main focus is #ludomusicology, aka sound in games, #livecoding, my tool of choice is #csound.

When I am not in a digital mood, I have an eclectic mix of analog noise boxes.

My early fascination with #mathematics and #physics is still going strong.
