Had a lovely afternoon singing in a recording session of a beautiful choral piece titled “Perplexed Music” by fellow singer/composer Stephanie K Andrews. She is the featured musician of the KFMA New Music Mixer, Feb 19th at Friends and Allies Brewing Company. Come on down to show Stephanie some love, hear recording exerpts of her compositions, try out some tasty beers, and meet other local musicians! #choir #composers #musicians #austin

Finally participated in my first Global Game Jam in six years (“Creator” in 2012, “Guinea Pig” 2013″), and I got to try “art”.Was a great weekend of us all taking on positions in a game team we’re not used to, I tried Art, Nate tried programming, Garrett on Narrative… and we finished our game, “Personal Space Invaders” on time AND won “Best Title”!!! Kudos to my teammates!!! Photo Gallery of our Project #GGJ19 #austin #gameaudio #narrative #gamedev
