Hey! My name is Max Duggan. I’m a video game composer, film composer, and songwriter from Chicago. Some of my most notable projects include my ongoing work writing procedurally generated music for Mini Metro, in collaboration with Disasterpeace, as well as audio contributions to Outer Wilds: Echoes of The Eye, and A Short Hike. My music has been featured in over 40 film festivals internationally and Amazon Prime Video. I've shipped games on Nintendo Switch, Playstation, Xbox, Steam, and Apple Arcade.I write a lot of cozy indie game music. I’d call my style Indie Orchestral and love working with live string sections and writing adaptive music in games.
