Professionally curious about music. 🎶: Journey, @Towerborne, Sword of the Sea, Abzu, Eternal Strands, Stray Gods, LEGO FN, AC Syndicate. 1/2 @BrushesAndKeys
Dream fulfilled! Growing up seeing glimpses of Williams, Goldsmith, Horner etc lead Hollywood orchestras in these grand symphonic scores was a MASSIVE inspiration. I can't overstate the joy and honor to collaborate with Stoic + @Xbox on @Towerborne !!
Wishlist Sword of the Sea launching August 19th and be among the first to ride the waves of a new and unforgettable journey! store.steampowered.com/app/2453160/Sw…
It was a real privilege teaching this class this past week in Austria, as part of the @Hollywood_MW. I gave the students an interactive music assignment on Monday, we recorded it all by Friday at the Synchron stage and was listening in Wwise by Saturday. And they all crushed it!!
What an incredible week this has been. I’m immensely grateful to @awintory and the @Hollywood_MW a GREAT week of lectures, culminating in the amazing experience of conducting my own work at the Synchron stage!
Seconded!! Happy birthday dear Bobby!!!
Happy Birthday Bobby!! @Borislav_Slavov ❤️🥳✨ (Photo @LorenzoDuaso from our game concert in Barcelona last year) 🥹
I love this! I suspect folks will be covering @lorien_testard 's score for this game for many many years.
The première of Lumière is now! Please enjoy our version of this gorgeous track from @SandfallGames's Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, arranged for brass quintet featuring @LauraIntravia and @JohnRobertMatz on vocals! #Expedition33 #ClairObscur
In a year that’s tested so many in our industry, we’re holding onto what brought us here: a love for games. 💛 This "demake" is a love letter to the classics and a reminder of why we do what we do. To everyone still pressing start: thank you. Happy #NationalVideoGameDay! 🎮💛
A really wonderful time chatting with @lorien_testard on Game Maker's Notebook about his simply STUNNING score to @expedition33 . I love this game and love his work and found many of his anecdotes nothing short of astonishing.
On the #GameMakersNotebook, @awintory chats with @expedition33 composer @lorien_testard about how he first connected with @SandfallGames, working with singer Alice Duport-Percier, creating a soundtrack with diverse sounds but unified vision, creating art for art's sake, and more!
Dynamic music that changes based on what you're doing — that's the @awintory way! 🎵⚔️ Get a further understanding of the music in Towerborne by watching the full #IGNLive video here: bit.ly/4jTdAkT
Looking forward to nerding out with my pal @bearmccreary tomorrow for this @The_SCL seminar on writing for orchestra! Come hang with us on zoom! us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Like many others, I encountered Mark Snow as a student. The X-FILES had just finished its momentous run and it was pretty astounding to me that a composer of this stature would give so much time to students. That alone left a lifelong mark. RIP Mark Snow
Another huge loss for the music community. variety.com/2025/tv/news/m…
Happy birthday @jorisdemanmusic !!! Your work remains an inspiration :)
What do you think of when you hear the Towerborne theme? 🎵 @awintory breaks down the elements he injected into the opening music - watch the full #IGNLive video now! 🔗 bit.ly/4jTdAkT
This is so utterly charming and wholesome
Everything comes full circle. Watch as Jonathan Bailey performs with the orchestra for the Jurassic World Rebirth score.
Very sad to learn that the wonderful Lalo Schifrin has passed on. He really was such a genius at combining rhythm, texture, instrumentation and melody in such a powerful and unique way. Interviewed him once years before I was a “proper” film composer. He was an absolute gent👇
Farewell to a true legend
This was especially sad to write. Knew him for nearly 40 years, and loved his music for 60. An honor to write about him often, and even produce a "Mission: Impossible" box set a few years ago. Farewell, maestro. variety.com/2025/music/new…
Check out this interview on Sword of the Sea from @matt_nava at Summer Game Fest!
Patrick spent a few days in Los Angeles at this year’s Summer Game Fest, and in-between equal parts beer and coffee, he found time to chat with a bunch of game developers at the show about their games (and fascism). remapradio.com/podcasts/episo…
