Tonight was a particularly lonely night but for the first time in a while it was actually pretty nice. I sat in a very dimly lit room, made myself a drink and listened to one of my favourite albums. It really helped my anxiety and made all my worries disappear for a night

Thank you Scott!

And I can't recommend it enough. Raphael's Final Act is my personal favourite

It's very late but I finally put the finishing touches on my piano arrangement of Down By The River from Baldur's Gate 3! Please listen and share it would mean a lot to me

Today is Bi visibility day. I've never come out to a lot of people but over this year I've learned a lot about myself and I want to be proud of who I am, no matter what it entails. I'm very happy I can share this about myself

Happy Bi visibility day everyone!

Since writing this post I have rewatched The Good, The Bad and The Ugly which would probably replace Logan. There are too many good movies!

I want to talk for a second about Generative AI in ttrpg projects.

1st let’s start off with: gross and no. My personal philosophy is I am an artist myself and the moment I decide to hand that to something else to do for me, then I no longer should be in this business.

Which is why I was over the moon when studio MDHR released the recording sessions of Baking the Wondertart. It's hard to put my feelings for this song into words besides the fact I believe it's a masterpiece. I hope you enjoy the music and behind the scenes!

Time for some more music but a bit different this time. One of my favourite games is Cuphead and the music is a very, very big reason why. Being a musician and having some experience in recording live music I love seeing behind scenes of creative processes (1/2)

Since I'm in the spirit of sharing music that's been uplifting to me here's a very important song. Those who are close to me know that I love Final Fantasy and Florence + The Machine. Here's their wonderful cover recorded specifically for Final Fantasy XV. I hope you enjoy!

I've been having a pretty rough go of it recently but I'm very grateful to my friends and family for their support. Something I've been trying to do is share music I like and this may be my favourite piece. I hope you'll take a listen and enjoy!
