Music

Music is a huge part of my life. I'm always listening to something, and if I'm not, I'm probably at the piano or with a guitar trying to figure out a song I like by ear. I've always enjoyed that process of picking things apart, noticing the small details, and slowly getting it to sound the way I want. Sometimes that turns into recording a cover, sometimes it's just for me.

A lot of people express themselves through things like photos or writing. I speak through playlists. The ones here are a running collection of what I've been listening to recently. They change all the time, so it's a pretty honest snapshot of my taste at any given moment.

This YouTube cover I made 5 years ago is one of my favourite movie score arrangements.

Games

I like games that are a bit unforgiving. The kind where you struggle for a while, question why you're even doing it, and then finally get past something and it feels completely worth it. That feeling of progress after a lot of failed attempts is probably my favourite part (and that applies to debugging in real life as well). I also just find it interesting how games are put together in general. I be paying attention to the unique but beautiful mechanics games have to offer, and thinking about how they work. I play pretty much everything though, from AAA games to smaller indie stuff, so my taste is kind of all over the place, but here are some of my favourites that I grew up with / have been playing recently.
