An absolutely fantastic day at Guildford Games Fest and it was so good to take part in the Music Essentials panel on the Audio Track.
Great insights across all of the talks and chats in the pub and Awards Party!

A couple of small tactical Black Friday purchases this year to improve my Metal Production.

Here's a quick demo I put together utilising Odeholm Drums & Thall Amp to create a huge sounding low tuned Metal pairing, with Runa: Elder Scoring Strings for additional lead textures 🀘

In honour of the spookiest time of year, here's that time I turned my own voice into a choir of demonic, doll children on Beyond Hanwell.

Huge congrats to @fayju.bsky.social on the launch of Amazing Frog? on Xbox Game Preview as it nears 1.0!

It was a joy writing a bunch of fun music that spans so many different genres/styles on this project. It's rare to see a small studio able to put so much love and time into a single project.

In 2006 I saw a little band from Brighton open for Sikth in their hometown. 19 years later, last night I saw that band headline the 02 Arena. A special evening with Architects! ❀️
