July 2025 Listen to July 2025 by Col Walder #np on #SoundCloud

I was listening back to my everyday music and some of them I quite like, so I made a playlist with ‘selects’ from the last month. If you were curious about what kind of music I make daily but didn’t want to sieve through the random exercises and dross, here you go

Love to see it :)

Well that’s lovely to hear ❤️ On behalf of the team Thankyou indeed!

Had a great time last night hanging out with the Bandung indie game dev community. A really cool group full of creative energy and forging the path with a new generation 💪

Thanks for welcoming me, it was a blast!

I know that whenever I win a chess match on Duolingo that the AI is letting me win….but it still feels good 😅

Sure! I’ll pass it on to the dev :)

Calling 3D Artists, Pixel artists, and modellers!

The dev I did music for on No Rest for the Weary is starting a new project and is looking for ppl to collab with. The concept is a low-poly 3D roguellike taking inspiration from Hades and Souls.

If you’re interest lmk and I’ll hook you up

Ah good times…we had a lovely wee ramble down the path

Cyberpunk 2 has entered pre-production phase

Let’s go chooms! Exciting times ahead 🦾🦾🦾

Thunderbolts was rather enjoyable.

Cracking music.

Some cool news!

I’m composing for No Rest For The Weary, a pixel art rpg inspired by Persona and Zelda

And the demo just landed on Steam!

10 Years of Witcher 3
10 Years Living in Poland
10 Years and still Loving it!

Just finished my second watch through…the music is S-Tier, can’t get enough of it

Finished Metaphor Re Fantazio. Great stuff. Maybe got a little hooked on maxing out the protagonist’s archetypes and steamrolled the final boss, poor wee guy.

Great final episode of Wheel of Time S3! Really solid series. Was on the edge of my seat even though I know what’s coming.

Bring on season 4!

Huge congrats to Ross Tregenza on the BAFTA win for Best Music last night, along with Wilbert and the Helldivers team.

Ross is one of my favourite people on the planet: so happy to see all his hard work and dedication pay off 💪💪💪

If you’re a k-drama fan and haven’t watched When Life Gives You Tangerines yet, get right on that!

Just be sure to bring a box of tissues…

Started watching Frieran again while making technical diagrams because apparently I need more bittersweet melancholy. And also because the music is so lovely 🥰

Hyped to share this! #Cyberpunk2077 is a launch title for #NintendoSwitch2 whoop!

Neat that’s a super tip! It’s been a while since I fired up Reaper…I guess it’s time to dive back in :)

Aha nice! Is that with Paulstretch or Kontakt can do that kind of stretching natively? I never ventured into tweaking patches much, so not sure what it’s capable of

Colander added to today’s shopping list ✅

Are there any samples you recorded that worked particularly well and come back to? Or maybe something that worked in a surprising way?

That’s a wrap for #GDC 2025. It’s been a good one with a nice mix of meeting ppl old and new, plus some great talks. It’s inspiring to see how ppl are raising the bar on sound and music in games. Plus I had the honour of being dubbed a fashion icon! Who would have thought 😅

Really fantastic talk ‘From Symphony to Scoundrel’ by @wilbertroget.bsky.social at GDC. Inspiring and packed full of practical lessons. Definitely one to come back to on the vault!

Aw thanks hen ☺️
