Jealous? Don't be, they're empty. Go play #2XKO

the blood moon stage is out next patch, but you can listen to the stage theme + akali's champion theme now: riot.com/3O88PtO ft. @joefordmusic + @jessezuretti

@SaltDropp This makes me so happy! You're gonna crush it, Cait! We miss you

Excited to announce that today was my first day working at ArenaNet as an Associate Producer (contract) for the audio team on Guild Wars 2 ✌️

@MatOmbler Bloodborne Music Live: a Bossa Nova Experience will save us all

Hot take: LOTS of video game concerts are taking place at the moment, which is amazing, but I genuinely worry we'll reach a point of audience saturation (especially in UK) if we don't see live performances of game music expand outside of traditional orchestral arrangements.

@thomasmahler Love the Hitchhiker's ref 🤌🏼

So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish! ❤️👍

@SaltDropp Biggest and best wishes, it'll come together, Cait!

Job hunting is seriously a full time job in itself 😭 please send me your best wishes in hopes I land something soon 🤞

@thomasmahler Now I have FOMO

I’m still at GDC til Friday - so if you’re there and see a weird guy with a long pipe walking around, feel free to say hello 🤣😂

#2XKO will now play the main theme I worked on w/ the Polyphia dudes when you start the game 🫶 go playyyy

@Play2XKO @Unconkable LFG 🫶

starting tomorrow 2XKO has attract mode: an intro that plays on launch/when idle. originally made to get people in arcades to play on a cabinet. ours features "let's go" by polyphia

@JulzVz Noooooo, I almost went to this! I should've gone :(

Hell yeah!! About to see Silent Hill god with some buds! ✌️😍✨🔥

@EmmanDaBomb I've seen you do that pose sans sword, and I gotta tell you, it's a vibe 🫶

Swords but make it work or something. I leave for GDC tomorrow, so if you're headed to SF, let's catch up!

@thomasmahler @riotgames DM'd 🙏

Yo folks at @riotgames who got laid off today - Feel free to send us your resume at jobs@moongamestudios.com We're still looking for excellent talent to contribute to No Rest for the Wicked! 👍❤️

@IanDorsch Thank you, my dude!

@jessezuretti This is awesome man, congrats!

Orchestral Tools was kind enough to do an artist profile on me, my work on the #2XKO soundtrack, my record collection of influences, and more - filmed at my favorite local arcade, Arcade UFO youtu.be/EfYGHjXNExc?si…

@grantkirkhope Fuck yeah, Grant! That vibrato rips!

I used to be in a metal band, wrote the songs and ended up using this riff for Cradle in Goldeneye (you can hear my dreadful voice in the chorus too 🤣)

@ComposerCasey The man in the red shirt is my dang hero for life. This is like the NBA Dream Team of bad asses. Needs Wendy Carlos and Yoko Shimomura tho 🤌🏼

This photo has been burned into my brain since I first laid eyes on it over 20 years ago.

@WidowPuppyFGC 🥹 zero joke, I'm welling up reading this <3

@jessezuretti No Jesse, thank you! Best Fighting Game soundtrack I've heard in years!

I’ve had the privilege of composing music for #2XKO for nearly three years. I've become close w/ countless wonderful Rioters so often that I feel like a main character sometimes - a nice break from feeling like an imposter. Until layoffs happen to your people. Watching so many of you be asked to move on, whether to other Riot teams or into uncertainty, hurts in a way that’s hard to articulate. The talent, care, and integrity you brought to this game raised the bar for everyone, myself included. I don’t doubt for a second that you’ll find your footing again and do something extraordinary next. But right now, I just want you to know this: working on this game with all of you mattered to me. You mattered to me. 🫶

@TPK_live thank you so much, dude! <3

@jessezuretti Still listening to the soundtrack daily, great job really

@stuxnet_vt Thank you so much for the kind words, that is so lovely to hear coming from an ATX dev! We'll have to get a snack together sometime 🫶

Jesse, your talent and kindness made and make 2XKO truly unique, thank you. I’m working with my fellow GameOps folks, and I promise you - we’ll get through this. ❤️

@RealKMF Thank you SO much for the kind words! 🫶 @TreWatsonMusic handled main menu, character select, post fight jams -- John Scherer handled lobby music -- bangers all around!

@jessezuretti Outstanding work on the music of 2XKO, the Main Hub loop is infectious and I heard it in my head daily! Great job!

@WidowPuppyFGC You are absolutely lovely for saying this, thank you so much, it means the world to me to read this 🥹🫶

@jessezuretti I have almost every 2XKO song under your personal YouTube music Channel on a Playlist. I listen to it at the gym every fckn day man. It's epic!
