It's been slow going on the mountain, but finally receiving the vinyl for Kokapi's Adventure by @catbeats.life gave me a fresh boost of vibes and motivation ✨ Beautiful stuff as ever 🎵

Bandcamp Friday is back for 2025. On March 7, we’ll once again waive our revenue share, ensuring more money goes directly to artists. Last year, fans spent $3.1 million in a single day—the biggest since 2022. Let’s keep that momentum going. Mark your calendars and get your wishlist ready.

Open for work!

Unfortunately, I just found out that all funding and grants for my 2025 projects are canceled.

Would love the opportunity to continue the musical journey started with #Ultros. Comfortable with #GameMusic #GameAudio. Retweets appreciated linktr.ee/ratvader
