Been here for a bit, probably time for an intro post.
I’m Nick, I’m from Ukraine and I’m a composer and audio director, primarily working in #gamedev, as well as film and occasional ads.
I have #cats, enjoy good #movies, old #music and a bit of #photography

Seems I’ve been able to reclaim weekends to just being weekends without guilt of being unproductive or whatever. Refreshing

Just put together a reel with sound design and music excerpts from BLOCKLORDS. Really happy with it and proud of the work we’ve done on it.

Going to see The Brutalist now. Don’t know if I’ll be any wiser after it, but certainly noticeably older. Super excited for a longer film with intermission.

Correctly and comfortably engraved parts make up 65-70% of a studio session’s success rate. It doesn’t matter how good the music is if the musicians spend the entire session trying to decipher what you’ve put on the page.
Care for your musicians, and they will care for you!

So fun to be prepping a game for release. It works, then it doesn’t, then it gets fixed, then something else breaks. Exhilarating stuff

Just prepped mixing projects on 4 different tracks. 3 of them to add to the battle system we’re developing in #FMOD
The other one is probably the best piece of music I’ve ever written. Totally atypical for me and therefore so fun. Can’t wait to share

Recently went over my composer #reel with the help of a mentor. Brutally cutting out some stuff as well as changing the order. It feels pretty good. Can’t wait to add the most recent track I’m in the process of finishing now

Despite all the crazy stuff going I’m somehow optimistic. Generally, anyway. There are moments of doubt and dips, but the trajectory is positive and took a long while to get here. This shows me that extrinsic noise is there to keep the cortisol levels high, but there’s always a silver lining

Mixing on laptop speakers is an *interesting exercise. It’s been over two month away from the studio, but the work doesn’t stop

Conclave is a very good film all around. Acting, cinematography, music, sound design. Really enjoyed seeing it

So this was quite scary and inconvenient. Kontakt lost all instruments, as if nothing has ever been installed. Found a solution by renaming my hard drives, pointing Native Access to the new locations, then renaming again and pointing again. Sucked to have to deal with this on a deadline

Not a good sight. Oddly, yesterday everything was working just fine and no variables have changed. #composerlife #gamedev #kontakt

I wanna score a sci-fi game next. Preferably something vast and expansive.
Been a minute with all the medieval stuff. Just putting it out there. My assistant is ready to go too.

Hey #PortfolioDay!
I’m Nick, and I help support the storytelling efforts in games and film with original music. What I love about it the most is the constant sense of exploration with every new project.
Here’s a bit of music I composed. More stuff here - solo.to/nickbulavin

Just caught Interstellar in IMAX, and it was utterly amazing in every respect
Made me remember why I do what I do. Telling stories is just fun
