Long time no see, eh? Let’s go through what I’ve been up to. Stay a while and listen!

• I’ve been doing some demo tracks for OxEye Games and if things go through I might score a game for them! Definitely something I hope I get and that I’m looking forward to doing.

• I’ve been importing tons of game music in the last few months. I’m now the proud owner of quite the big collection! To see what I like and, by extension, you should like just visit my VGMdb collection page: http://vgmdb.net/db/collection.php?do=view&userid=186

• Armored Core is one of the better series of games in my opinion and the music is quite magical. Because of that I thought it might be a good idea to do a tribute album, arranging music solely from the Armored Core-series! I’m doing this myself and I already have some tracks finished, believe it or not. I can also proudly say that Kota Hoshino and the From Software sound team thought the tracks I showed were great! :) Since I’ve already tweeted one of the tracks I thought I might as well post it here as a teaser. Beware as I’m actually playing guitar!

And I think that’s about it really. I didn’t get in to the Royal College of Music (got 18.5 on the instrument test, 20 was the limit. Everything else went awesome) but instead I’ll stay at the University of Stockholm and study game music in the field of Musicology. Apparently it’s THE up and coming Musicology research subject. Ought to be lots of fun :)
