I’ll be doing a session on the audio of Cairn, with live gameplay and commentary, moderated by Alistair Hirst. We’ll explore how climbing Foley and an organic breathing system replace the traditional stamina bar, while spatial mixing further enhances immersion. Hope to see you there!
Did you know that concept art was the MVP in bringing
65daysofstatic on board for No Man's Sky?

As a composer and as a fan, I want a sequel to give me exactly what I love… and exactly what I didn’t know I needed.
What are your favorite video game sequels? I’ll go first… Mega Man 2 and Metal Gear Solid 3!

Congratulations to @awintory.bsky.social for winning a GRAMMY for Sword of the Sea.
I’ve been a big fan since flOw. This feels like the apotheosis of his thatgamecompany/Giant Squid collaborations. Couldn’t happen to a nicer person and champion of video game music and composers alike.
Thank you @bafta.org and Nibbs Events for a wonderful evening and beautiful rendition of my theme for @fallout.bethesdastudios.com 4 performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by @awintory.bsky.social. A fabulous weekend in London with composer friends and colleagues from @bethesdastudios.com
Part 2 of our exclusive interview with GRAMMY-nominated composer Austin Wintory is now live on the Laced blog!

New & Notable: Reimagined, remixed edition of the legendary composer's "Viva Piñata" score, stacked with epic new arrangements from a full orchestra.
Well would you believe it, another release from me, The Phoenix Gene by Heromation. A bit of a different sound for me and done crazy long tracks!

The extraction theme “No Diver Left Behind” was one of the most fun pieces to write and record for #Helldivers2 ! In addition to orch, we also tracked drums from #JimBogios of #CountingCrows fame – so please enjoy this #pianoroll #gamemusic vid, now with drum session footage!
Heading to #MAGFest for the first time since before the pandemic! I'll be performing with Triforce Quartet and doing some panels, including a live musical-sounddesign demo with audience participation, and some other fun surprises.
#Helldivers2 fans come say hi!

Hey I'm Ben!
I made the FTL soundtrack.
I've worked on 14 different games.
I've been making music for 26 years (I'm older than I look.)
I'm mostly self-taught.
I've got some room in my schedule so I'm looking for another soundtrack project!

This is the best video game music of 2025, as chosen by the composers behind it.

Blue Prince is a superbly thoughtful, deep, meditative game. Haunting.
Love the evocative jazzy-noir-melancholy music by Trigg and Gusset.
Today Hitman turns 25 years and my first Hitman score is now available on all music platforms! Big congrats to IO Interactive and all the Hitman fans on this epic milestone! @hitman.ioi.dk #iointeractive #hitmancodename47 #hitman25
ICYMI, my @assassinscreed.ubisoft.com Syndicate conductor score / sheet music book is going to the printers and will be sent (signed!) imminently! There won't be an infinite number of these ... for the nerds amongst us! :)

games that swap music layers depending on what phase of combat you're in are amongst my favorite when it comes to using simple dynamic techniques... demonschool[new], resonance of fate, phantom brigade, 13 sentinels, beastieball[biased lol]... more that i am probably forgetting.
Emperia takes home an Hollywood Music in Media Award — Best Song/Score – Mobile Video Game for “Whispers of the Ruin (Thorns of Devolution Season Theme Music)”from AFK Journey!
Made a score reduction/analysis vid for the #Helldivers2 main theme, “A Cup of Liber-tea”! It transcribes both orchestra and synths/drums, and highlights themes. Try and guess how many times you hear the main motif repeated throughout? :-P
Full vid on YT! #gamemusic
