New track "Rainmaker". Thanks to those that tuned into the stream when I was finishing this up! Onto the next! youtu.be/arARV7qG3hY?...

I read it - and I agree. The warehouse experience is a big detractor. I only go there if I know *exactly* what I need before going in and I stick to it. And it’s usually very specific stuff. The last time I went in I got 2lbs of Parmesan to take on a camping trip and that was it haha.

This is fair and you are entitled to this take. I’m not sure whether I agree or not but I will say this - I almost exclusively go to Costco for gas and paper products.

8-bit Beats for Saving the Universe - YouTube

I have been looking forward to this release for a long time and *today* is the day that @halo.gg "8-bit Beats for Saving the Universe" from the 8-bit Halo Arcade soundtrack is *officially* out on Streaming platforms and YouTube. I had so much fun with these!

Why Most Web Games Skip the Sound—and What They’re Missing Composer Joel Corelitz shares how he crafted sound for Halo, Death Stranding & more—plus insights on creative process, feedback, and game audio design.

Really enjoyed my chat with Nate Kadlac on the Hey, Good Game podcast about how I see the real job of composition—not just writing music, but thinking deeply, exploring ideas, and helping devs find just the right fit.

Finally saw Anora and … wow what a ride, story, vision. Blown away.

the fact that there is a lost Steely Dan song called "The Second Arrangement'" and it's not a different arrangement of one of their existing songs, but actually a new song with that literal title is ... confusing af, and also completely on-brand

🌊 Heya, thought it'd be worth sharing the gameplay trailer I put together for our Steam page. If you dig it, please give us a #wishlist at store.steampowered.com/app/2526130/.... Thanks! ✨

If you're interested in working with me, but not sure about my availability or whether your budget is going to work.. reach out anyway. I am super adaptable, and love to help - even if it's just giving perspective. Literally all my favorite projects started this way!

Straycloud - @straycloud.nz , for which I'm composing the music, has a Steam page and a trailer and is looking absolutely stunningly beautiful! store.steampowered.com/app/2526130/...

It seems like are a lot of bot followers on this app! Anyone else getting follows by profiles with bios that skew slightly political that are peppered with emojis that say stuff like “🚫 DMs”? Seems like a weird bot niche to me

Excited to experience how qud I’ve heard this game is

Had a great time at GDC. Glad I went. Safe travels home, everyone!

Thank you 🥪

Where do I get this sandwich, which is what I will have for lunch tomorrow

This is so true. Want great audio branding? Hire a game composer. (I did all the chimes for Ford’s EV lineup and the DaVinci XI surgical robot!)

I am doing basically the same thing! But Wednesday-Friday

Looking towards the spring, I have enough bandwidth for one more project. If you're working on something that might be a good fit, or even just talk ideas and get some perspective, please get in touch!

Serious questions: I hear *so* often that artists' biggest hits are often the songs that they almost threw away. So how do you know if something is... that, or something you should actually throw away?

I'd like to do more production for other artists / album work so I've been doing these little exercises where I pick a genre and just knock something out quickly. It's been fun, and really helpful / motivating. youtu.be/UQkwJPP9ecg?...

I'll be at GDC this year! Doing a quick trip from Wednesday-Friday, but would love to catch up / hang out!

As many have pointed out the study was on "transgenic" mice. It's easy to dismiss this as Trump being dumb, but I think it is much, *much* more insidious than that. Trump knows his base will believe anything he says, so he deliberately subs in a similar sounding word to rile up his base.

No, YOU listened to this ten times in a row in the car youtu.be/L6U0bSbe24A

I’m going to take way more of the credit than I have any business taking here bc I told Noel to keep putting more rain in and it looks glorious and it is such a vibe. So if you need someone to keep telling you to put more of something in I am your guy

Congrats to all the BAFTA nominees, and a special congrats to those in the Music category, especially my favorite composer: "Development Team"

YouTube video by Joel Corelitz How to get work as a game composer! (And why no one has a good answer to that question.)

"How to I get work as a game composer, and why isn't what I'm doing working?" is a question I get regularly. Here's the answer: youtu.be/9jy6lj2KfRY?...

It's crazy how no one has ever, EVER, *EVER* ... done a gear comparison where they didn't use the term "different beast"
