Simu Liu in the new Mass Effect TV show, please. Just shut up and make it happen. 😄
Hey @SimuLiu! We know you've said you're not involved in Mass Effect Universe, despite fans noticing your resemblance to the trailer's protagonist. But we also know you're a huge Mass Effect fan... Would you help us support the cause? #SaveMassEffect needs you! 🔥

There's something very freeing and special about just writing music for yourself, from the heart. Not bound to any projects, deadlines, or external constraints. I think every working composer should be doing this, because it can actually help develop your unique musical (1/2)

voice (if you're still finding it), and then you're getting hired because of YOUR sound, not just because "we need a composer, any composer." (2/2)

So glad we finally have an emoji for.. a man in a business suit, levitating. I've lost count of how many times I've been in a text convo and thought, "A floating businessperson would really make me look hip right about now."

I don't have the best memory, but I clearly remember sitting down to write this, intending it to feel fast-paced and frantic, with a hint of badassery mixed in. I love how it turned out!

The Mars combat music is my absolute favourite 🔥

Hard agree. And, personally speaking, my favorite to work on of the three games. Especially the music I wrote for Mars. BET that I would've brought back the vibe of Mars combat for Mass Effect Universe. But heavier. youtube.com/watch?v=CVqS2N9x…
I truly don’t understand people thought Mass Effect 3 was a bad game. It was genuinely incredible 🔥

For half the price of a cup of coffee, you too can check out @SamHulick 's work in progress for his new scoring of the Mass Effect 5 Universe trailer on Patreon. (not a sponsored post) patreon.samhulick.com/posts/…
BTW, I did want to make this post free, but doing so wouldn't have been fair to my $3/mo tier subscribers. That said, I'm gonna be posting regular updates on this trailer piece, so $3/mo will go a long way! You can always cancel later. patreon.samhulick.com/posts/…

Indie studios: Highly recommend @SamHulick his music is amazing and so inspiring!
Hey indie game studios: I wanna work with you. I'm seeing some amazing work from small teams, and nothing is more fun or exciting than working with creative folks. You don't have to be a major studio, you just have to be making awesome games. And yes, I do more than synth stuff!

Hmm, it's so many years ago, I don't remember the timing of when I started working on it. But I loved working on it! Citadel DLC was super challenging for me. I had to write in a lot of styles I'm not fluent in (tango, jazz, EDM, etc).

How was actually the work for extended cut for you? Do I recall correct that it was released quite much shortly after the game or so?

Yes, that's my work! But please go listen to the new extended version. It's longer, it's a much better mix, and I also get paid more when people listen to that version. 😏 link.samhulick.com/uncharted…
