It’s been ten years since I wrote and had this piece performed by the Dublin Philharmonic Orchestra on their world tour in 2016. I’m so grateful my piece was selected to be a part of their repertoire! 🎻 #orchestra #music

Happy #PortfolioDay! I am a music composer for cozy video games! Some of my recent credits include: 💅 Barbie Rewind 🪴 Leafy Corner 📱 Focus Friend by Hank Green I also worked in the music dept for Toy Story 5, Hoppers, Disclosure Day and Avengers Endgame 🎼🎶 🔗: www.samanthavandersluis.com

Here's a little audio preview of the upcoming cooking game, Farm & Feast! I compose and implement all the music using FMOD 🎶

🌟 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🌟 I had the absolute honour of working on a game from a franchise close to my heart - Barbie Rewind from Atari and Digital Eclipse Entertainment Partners! This was a blast to work on and make powerful feminine pieces of music!

I've been working on music for this incredibly adorable game, Hokko Spaces from Wonderscope Games and @team17.bsky.social, which just had its premiere during the @wholesomegames.com Direct as part of #SummerGameFest2026! 🐹🐨🐻

I'm working on the adaptivity of gameplay music in FMOD and it has a total of 562 trillion different ways it can be played 🤓 Meaning if you were to listen to every possible combination it would take ~17.8 million years 💀

I am working on the score for this delightful, charming game, "Bottled by Bears" developed by monoii studio 🐻🐝 ~Join a family of bears and run the buzziest little honey farm! Collect and discover rare bees, bottle honey jars and expand your farm~ Thank you for watching! 🎵

for some wild reason, I wrote music that kind of reminded me of a clueless goblin building a house. So then I drew a silly goblin and put the music with it. It made my husband and I chuckle at least 😅

I'm working on music for an upcoming game called Blockfeet! Here's the spring time music I wrote last year. The steam page went live today! 🎶🌱

Received a cute keyring today for writing music for The Songbird Guild by @yurisoftgames.bsky.social! 🩷
