Some life updates besides Split Screen at JEN:
-I have one semester left in my master’s degree at UNT
-I’ve written more music than I have been able to keep track of this year
-I’m one more godawful development in AI away from starting a movement to publicly shame AI users at every possible turn
-I have one semester left in my master’s degree at UNT

Absolutely wild to me that in about a month and a half, I'll be bringing @splitscreenvgm.bsky.social to JEN to perform video game music... If you told the version of me from 10 years ago that had just started arranging video game music THIS is where it'd take him, he wouldn't believe you.

Have you heard our version of "Lavender Town?" Nothing scarier than a jazz band playing borderline metal music!

@thegamebrass.com was honored with “Best Acoustic/Chamber” by the #GMRA for our arrangement of Secret of the Forest. So proud of our now 10 albums, and even prouder to be recognized by our peers. Thanks @vgmcon.bsky.social for hosting the awards. Haven't heard our 200+ covers? Check us out!

If I had a dollar for every time I came across an Instagram reel or TikTok including incorrectly transcribed or poorly engraved sheet music, I could retire. I feel like if you’re going to put a transcription out into the world, you should feel a responsibility to make sure it’s accurate!

Today I’ve researched quantum mechanics, Japanese poetry, and the lore of Neon Genesis Evangelion. How is anime from the 90s the most dense of those three things?

📢 Announcement! I'm interested in writing music for games, so I thought it might be a good idea to just... write some video game music.

I've known so many musicians for so many years, and somehow Spotify was the way I finally found out that I would like Polyphia. If I like Polyphia, what else have I been missing out on?

Finished the show this morning: if the goal was to make the viewer feel what one of Joe's victims feels over 5 seasons, I think the show does a great job. If that wasn't the goal, I feel like the writing alters Joe's character in a way that feels misaligned with the initial premise of the show.
Just finished season 1 of "You" on Netflix: I think it would be so neat to have a little box like Joe does in the basement of the bookstore, even if I have no real need or use for it. It just seems like a fun little hidey-hole.

Game-scoring/film-scoring friends: I'm looking to try out some new sample libraries and am torn between trying Musio and ComposerCloud. I'm mostly interested in quality orchestral strings and woodwinds. Any recommendations for one over the other?

...okay so now that I've seen a little more of the show, I aggressively retract this statement and would never willingly choose to spend time in one of those things.

I still can't believe I get paid to write and arrange music for people. Sometimes it's a slog, but a lot of the time it genuinely still blows my mind that I can get paid to have as much fun as I do working on these projects.
