Hello Bluesky! I'm a music composer, performer, and game audio guy looking to connect with other creative folks.

You can find out more about me at jessecolford.com. But first, I'd like to share my capstone project from grad school, "From the Ashes". Enjoy!

Desert Angels had a great showing at #SIX2025 ! To celebrate, here's an inside look at "Dance of the Stars", a music track that plays later in the game in a moment of reminiscing.

Messing around with orchestral-hybrid action music because I watched Arcane once and thought it was neat.

Here's another theme I wrote for Off Course! Nimbo is a zany comet who's wandering outer space, making Gaia (the main character) question why she too is wandering.

Check out the game at leharts.itch.io/off-course

Game jam time! Here's a track I wrote for Off Course, a game where you explore outer space as Gaia, the embodiment of Earth.

Shoutout to Les and Road for putting the game together with awesome writing and art! Check it out at leharts.itch.io/off-course

April 25 is coming up fast! Check out Desert Angels and you'll get to learn who this character is...

This theme leans a bit more into sci-fi, but also hints at an age-old question: what does it mean to be human?

Here's a theme for Gerel, the main character. This plays during peaceful conversation scenes, and has a bright tone for a curious personality. Enjoy!

Sometimes I make music for game jams

Sometimes it's retro adventure music for a Neopets reboot
