this is not sarcasm, I've never been happier to hear a jackhammer

Steve Wilder Blumenthal @steveblu.bsky.social · 17d

The noise gods are smiling upon me today: my neighbor is jackhammering something and I don't have to record anything today

Steve Wilder Blumenthal @steveblu.bsky.social · 18d

Yep absolutely, I get as hands-on as possible

Welp that’s plenty of yelling at the tv for me today #gobirds

After doing perpetual summer in LA for ~8 years, this is still a novel thing to me, even after being back on the east coast for a bit now...

🌳 Experience This Very Tree in a whole new way. @steveblu.bsky.social captured authentic sounds from NYC, the 9/11 Memorial & the Survivor Tree itself - bringing this story of resilience to life. Read it with Novel Effect this September for a powerful, immersive way to honor hope and remembrance.

Some context because it's been a minute: this is an action/comedy/fantasy short that I scored right before the pandemic, and it stars Lori Beth Denberg from Nickelodeon's All That and Greg Lee from Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego.

It's super fun, and I'm really proud of the music I wrote!

I worked with @jct.bsky.social and my dad on a project for the Strong, and I was just there during #SeriousPlay25. I also used to go there as a kid.

The love and care this organization puts into preserving the rich history of play and video games is second to none. Please, support if you can!

Calling video game industry folks! You know the Strong Museum of Play, right? The museum that understands us & is documenting OUR history?

Federal budget shenanigans have them in a surprise $500K hole.

If you're able to support them, now's the time. Here's the link: www.museumofplay.org/support/

I feel like Marx's theme in Kirby Super Star kind of does this. You kind of hear the Kirby theme used throughout the game in the second half of this track...

Today I spent 20min making a new software instrument from scratch, then got up to grab a drink of water, came back to realize there's already a preset on my machine that I forgot about until getting back for that instrument I was trying to make.

A day in the life 🤦‍♂️
