Hey guys,
Ok it was time for another blog post even tho im guessing very few people are reading these but since there is no news section i’d figure its the best way to disclose some music news.
First off, I had the chance to write some music for Ubisofts “The Division”. Really a dream come true because Im a huge fan of the series. It was mainly music for a DLC but don’t let that fool you: I always approach writing music like my life depends on it. There is a nice mixture of some old school Quake vibes. Guitars. But we also came up with a cool synthesized “guitar” sound because we got bored with the usual guitar sound. I will go in detail on how we created that sound when the soundtrack hits. Which hopefully it will by August. Im currently still working on the OST arrangements, as the in game assets are usually just loops.
Next up, I wrote a new theme for PUGB:Battlegrounds franchise. In case you dont know, this is a huge MP title with new content dropping all the time. Its especially huge in Asia. I already wrote a theme for them in 2020 so I was happy when they ask me again. You can hear it here:
Deston ThemeI had the chance to chat with SSL Audio to talk about gear, in particular how i use theirs. Dont wanna sound like a snake oil salesman but SSL gear is really good. I advise you to invest into gear that will help you sound good before you get lost in buying the X amount of keyboard. You really dont need that much. But a good Audio chain is more important.

SSL InterviewNext up: I will be writing more new music for The Long Dark. I have been writing music for it since 2014. One of the longest gigs I have. A big thank you to Raphael for being so loyal. Very rare in our industry. TLD really is a passion project as they let me write more “Avon Gard” style music, a bit more freedom to experiment. Its mostly Ambient cues but i really love writing them. So expect like 10-15 of new survival music soon.
