Tools for composers
who think
in systems.

I've spent 18+ years designing music systems for games at PlayStation Studios — The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Journey. Grammy-nominated, BAFTA-winning work that taught me one thing: the best music happens when you build the right system and get out of its way.

Back Pocket Music is that philosophy outside the studio — tools at the intersection of music theory, acoustics, and AI. If a tool should exist and doesn't, build it.

Caution

Back Pocket Music L.L.C. is not responsible for: decisions made while listening to generative ambient at 2AM, the realization that all music is just air vibrating, or the sudden urge to buy a modular synth you cannot afford. No refunds. No returns. No equal temperament.

04 — Signal Subscription

First to know
when ScoreCanvas
opens.

No newsletter cadence. No drip sequence. One transmission the moment the doors unlock — then radio silence until it matters.
