After 7.5 years, my time making music & sound at @heartmachine.bsky.social is ending w/ the recent layoffs.
I'd love to keep pushing boundaries -- please reach out if you think I can help solve your audio problems, especially if you're doing something artistically wild.
RTs appreciated 🙏

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.
Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I've got a bunch of vintage early 90s rack mounted gear for sale.
All in great condition, kept in a pro studio.
I'll price them a little lower than what I see them selling for, OBO.

As we continued work on the Wanderer, we started calling our companion character "Birdy" internally and that stuck around!
We pinned down our visual inspiration to L0-LA59 from Star Wars, and Rose started some explorations in that direction

Every hero needs a sidekick, and the Wanderer is no exception!
In the background, @ProfessorOfSass.bsky.social explored ideas for companions, here’s a first take we didn't go with
I may have just read "Save The Cat" for the 1st time and gotten too excited

April 2025: @ProfessorOfSass.bsky.social finishes up retopologizing in Maya and gets to work on texturing and modelling the Wanderer's clothes and accessories
The addition of a "crotch-harness" was a hotly debated topic at this point
