Crazy busy weekend, this one. I basically made 6 songs over the weekend, for three games. The first, Vaporvision2020XL, I wrote 3 songs, one Vaporwave, one Chiptune, a=one a string quartet, each for a different level. In the game, the play must pitch and tempo mix the different tracks (and video tracking) for a song. Give it a try here: https://globalgamejam.org/2020/games/vaporvision-2020-xl-7

Another, with a more ambient jam featured here: https://globalgamejam.org/2020/games/i-have-no-idea-what-im-doing-7

A game I soundtracked, battle royale game Zuldaxx, just dropped. I did the menu music and the gameplay tracks. Get a bunch of friends together and blast your way through. You can download the game here: https://zuldaxx.itch.io/zuldaxx

I've been working on a series of Game Genie Poems -poetry written using limited word-length lipograms – written entirely within the 1990 Nintendo peripheral: the Game Genie. Every code for the Game Genie used 8 or 6 of a limited number of letters (16, thus eliminating much used letters like r, h, d, etc) to create a number of effects in the games. So these poems are all written in what could concievably be GameGenie codes.  Equal appeal for fans of old-school videogames and oulipian constraints.

I’m currently shopping for a publisher for the manuscript as a whole (any suggestions or potentials, please get in touch), but I’m slowly dispersing them to journals. I’ll post more as more get published. Check them out below:

Getting set for Beakernight once again! This year I’m showing PowerGrid again, my arduino controlled light-up dancefloor, and this time with an all new musical composition for the dancers to control! Come to Fort Calgary this Saturday to check out the festivities!

I forgot to put up the initial listing for the show in Edmonton, but I thankfully did a little bit of documentation when it was there. All the Western Canadian chip pals showed up and ripped it. Very stoked to have been a part of it all.
