What I was up to

It’s been a very long time since my last update on this page, that is partially because my website was in a bit of a weird limbo. That is, I was trying to upgrade the tech stack because some of the bits dated from 2014 and were making it hard to upgrade. That was a mess! I finally managed to push through in the last month, though.

One of the nicer things that happened was that I won Audio Creation Of The Month for my sound redesign of Little Witch In The Woods. I’m very happy with the recognition here; it was my first attempt at designing for this cozier and quirkier aesthetic, but I had a lot of fun and I was very happy with the result.

I’ve also been spending a lot of time on the Cluster Player project, removing it from its dependency on Shitstorm-As-A-Service company Spotify, replacing it’s DIY framework with Next.js, and upgrading the UI a bit.

Other things I did in 2025:

• I’ve been immersing into my Goth side a bit more
• Attended the Wave Gothic Treffen in Leipzig
• Listened to Chelsea Wolfe and Mitski (not sure how I missed those)
• Got my ears pierced! (been thinking about that for a long time)

Stuff I enjoyed a lot

• 📺 Game Changer, Make Some Noise, Apothecary Diaries, Frieren, Star Gate: Atlantis, Helluva Boss.
• 🕹️ Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Dorfromantik
