So I happen to listen to some South Of Midnight songs and tracks…it’s not that bad…
Unsung heroes of a video game:
- The coders
We value people creating art and design but without the coders, they would be nothing to enjoy.
Merci to all for the wizardry they create!!
If you’re interested in making music for games, I’d love to know what excites you the most about it?
It’s never about the style or the genre of music you write but rather “what you say” that makes it “your” music.
What is truly interesting lies in there, in you.
Every musc I write lyrics for are deeply embedded in the thematic of their respective game. Something players don’t really realize but that is very important to me and the devs. Consistency is key in everything I do when I score a game.
Done with Ninja Gaiden 4. What a game!!
Starting Dispatch. Seems intriguing.
Lumines Arise for VR is stunning.
I’m finally at the wedding in KC2 and I did the 2 paths to get there 🙂
This year is a blast for gaming!!!!
