Brushes & Keys Podcast

Out today in 1.0 at long last! PC, Xbox *and* PS5!! Soundtrack also released as "Complete Edition" on spotify etc with tons of new music compared to the Early Access release :)

Reminder of our GDC concert happening Tuesday NIGHT (March 10) on Main Stage of Moscone west. Amazing lineup of special guests and hijinks and a thick stack of incredible game music. These shows are continuous "I can't believe they let me do this" moments :)

“Your Quest Begins” Oil on Canvas 36 x 48” “What does it feel to be a gamer?” That was the question that resonated with me the moment @allencbrooks [Co-Founder of @continuesarcade] and I first talked about the creation of this piece.

Very grateful to be part of such an inspiring community of artists <3

Another win for @awintory in the Interactive Media category at the SCL awards 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

An absolute dream last weekend conducting @BAFTAGames in Concert's world premiere, feat the music of so many amazing colleagues and friends. BBC Concert Orchestra were superb. Best imaginable reason to miss the Grammy's! :) Thank you to all who came out!!

I shared some thoughts on the GRAMMYs. It won't let me post the full video here so below are the links to it on my IG page and on YT. (And yes I have some thoughts on Expedition 33 in there...)

CONCERT! @TroyBakerVA & I will host "The Art of Game Music." For anyone who's seen YOU GOTTA HEAR THIS, imagine it as a concert! I'll use my own music + classics to teach Troy how to score a game & to really prove it I WILL WRITE A PIECE OF MUSIC ON-STAGE w/ the entire orchestra

It's Bandcamp friday! Always touching to me that the main reason I remember is the sudden spike in sales. Thank you all!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️ For big nerds wanting to check out the merch page.... austinwintory.bandcamp.com

A plea for help🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can be found on iggyland.org Please help us get the word out.💙

Congrats to my friends & thank you to Recording Academy for including SWORD OF THE SEA at the '26 Grammys! & massive shoutout to @WilbertRoget for the 2x nom! I'm sad at the lack of Expedition 33 among them. I would happily trade places. That score is the *definition* of worthy!

Friends! Courtesy of the @The_SCL , Monday evening @DarrenKorb and I are going to a stream / playthru of Sword of the Sea and talk about its production, the interactivity of the music, development etc. I'll probably make him tell Hades 2 stories also :) us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

Hello all! Today is my birthday & as always immeasurably grateful for all the generosity around me. I am VERY lucky getting to do what I do with so many talented folks. So again I'm using Bandcamp as a charity fundraiser for underfunded schools music program: Code Verythankful

It seems another Bandcamp Friday is upon us! To those who've so generously snagged SWORD OF THE SEA, I thank you so much! For those still curious .... :) austinwintory.bandcamp.com/album/sword-of…

My struggle to explain the differences between film and game scoring...

Local Arizona news did a piece on the boy's choir I recorded for SWORD OF THE SEA & it's the most charming thing ever. Seeing them see their names in the credit of a game ...🥰📷<🥹- This is one of the wonderful byproducts of being able to do this for a living.
