This lead to me picking up freelance work on indie game projects which helped me flesh out my reel enough to start working in-house game studio positions. From time to time I still take the odd job here and there if the project inspires me, or just.

This was my first in-house position where I spent my first two years mostly composing. I managed to exploit the ancient technology they used to make Runescape to compose and integrate the first fully sampled music into the game. This elevated the soundtrack from essentially General MIDI sounding pieces into more cinematic / orchestral sounding pieces..
