Hey I'm Ben!

I made the FTL soundtrack.

I've worked on 14 different games.

I've been making music for 26 years (I'm older than I look.)

I'm mostly self-taught.

I've got some room in my schedule so I'm looking for another soundtrack project!

We’re watching Back to the Future in my wife’s cousin’s house. They have motion smoothing on their TV.

It’s killing me.

horrible headspace this evening as it's been a wonderful year professionally but a bit of a personal mess, and I'm facing down the barrel of needing a job and a new place to live in the next few months.

So I'm going to give myself a quick pat on the back in visual form and get back to work.

The doctor, Ruairi Callaghan, appears at first glance to simply be attending the Séance with his aunt Fiadh. But it would be remiss to believe anyone at Blake Manor does not have their own motives to be here...
