It's SWORD OF THE SEA launch day! I'm *SO* happy to be sharing this one at long last! We started work on it 2021 & it's been a major labor of love that whole time. @GiantSquidology always pushes to make something poignant, artful & unique and I only hope the music follows suit

Ok last one: the rarest solar eclipse of all time. Only 4 people have seen this with their naked eyes. The sun is fully behind the moon. The only faint light hitting the near side is reflecting off of earth, 250,000 miles away. And the stars and galaxies in the background, sheesh Nikon Z9 f/2.0 2 second exposure ISO 1600 @NASA: flickr.com/photos/nasa2ex…

Years ago my lovely friend @FarisAttieh & I connected over grieving our departed fathers & he vowed to make a game exploring grief. He came through & we spent time together in Saudi Arabia recording many musicians , exploring. A real honor to be involved in this passion project

Award-winning composer, @awintory, speaks with @FarisAttieh about how he brought The House of Hikmah to life through music. Experience the melodic, emotional tones of Maya's journey on April 8th!

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

I wrote in more detail on Instagram (I barely use twitter anymore) BUT just have to share a few selects from this past GDC concert, easily among the greatest experiences of my life. Thank you to all who helped and all who attended!! My favorite way to celebrate the art form ❤️

Joe Harnell was a sweet guy, and very supportive of the next generations of composers. I was lucky to have crossed paths with him, and I learned a lot from him. Composers today strive to write a single piece of music as iconic as this.
All The Right Movies@ATRightMovies

The “Lonely Man” theme from THE INCREDIBLE HULK was composed by Joe Harnell for the Bill Bixby series, and producers liked his simple piano piece so much they barely orchestrated it, leaving that stripped‑down sound.

@FunkyRustic @oderiviere Discovery by a mass audience is usually a function of luck of the draw, especially since it's usually very particular types of projects that expose music that much. But amongst fellow pro's, it's utterly impossible to ignore innovative talent. Impossible and foolish!

@FunkyRustic @oderiviere Relatedly, the average film audience has no clue who Jerry Goldsmith is (an injustice) but EVERY composer knows his work.

One more thing to add to an imposter syndrome trigger. @oderiviere is still in discussions about the forefront of interactive scoring for me and it has nothing to do with the popularity of the games. The work speaks for itself.
Olivier Deriviere@oderiviere

For years, players have pointed out the lack of “hit games” in my portfolio. Just know this: - No one can predict whether a game will be a hit - I’m proud of every game I’ve worked on - I’ve spent a long career making the best music I can with world-class musicians #NoRegrets
