🎵 🎞️ NEW VIDEO 🎸 🎵

I’m a big fan of Forza Horizon 5 so I made this cinematic gameplay music video to showcase the game as well as my own original music. Go give a watch and let me know what you think in the comments! Enjoy!

Ooo, that looks very fun!

Probably Brymir. They have quite the contrast between heavy blackened death metal and über happy power metal.

Thanks dude! I know! I’ve been watching the number slowly creeping up over the past weeks/months. Never had this many followers before. Now I gotta do something about it.

Thanks to all you new followers! I have some new music projects in the works, but I also have a retail day job that makes progress difficult. Just know that I see you and will be getting new tunes up asap. May the 4th be with you! ✨🪐🚀

Hell Yeah, Brother! When the prompt says

When the prompt says "something that screams hell yeah brother", you gotta REV THAT HOG!! This classic rock track was done for a 30s motorcycle ad.

Hello, friends. Please take a moment to read and amplify.

Last fall I took and online class for music composition. Yesterday I got to meet my mentor and composer hero Jason Graves! What a surreal experience #gdc has been so far.

Out here at GDC with the composer family! Come hang out and meet us! @stevenjames-des.bsky.social @jennakavouras.bsky.social @nickbarstow.bsky.social @kimikimi-more.bsky.social @0griot.bsky.social @itsdanielbostic.bsky.social

Hell yeah dude! It was fantastic experience all around! Great job! 🤘🔥

Epic indeed! Great job good sir!

AI so good that it reused the same camera angles and lighting. They’ll never see it coming. *evil laugh*

Very naaiiccee

Yup, that’s me and my wife lol

22 club, let’s go!

Gotcha. I’ve got many a suggestion, but they’re not always for everyone, so I gotta be strategic. Seems like you’ve got a good dose of the big ones that covers a good range. There’s a lot of power metal that’s cool. One band I love is Unleash the Archers. I love the albums Apex and Abyss.

First post here. Still getting things setup. Here’s a podcast that I produced with my best friend all about metal music. I did all the editing and sound fx as well as co-hosting. It’s a good exploration of all the different subgenres. Enjoy! www.creativegeniusfm.com/metallurgy

What kind of metal we talkin??

Yikes. No bueno. I made the switch to Reaper about 10 years ago, specifically because it’s more stable than Sonar, what I had been using prior. I hope your DAW woes let up soon.

Big oof. I’ve heard lots of complaints over the years about Pro Tools in that regard. Not ideal when you have deadlines.

Oh damn, I’ve seen most of those! We’ll have to chat more.
