I have to say, working with @RogerCraigSmith is a real treat.
The man is so involved and talented!
#DyingLightTheBeast is in good hands…or rather good voice!
It's happening! #DyingLightTheBeast
The most embarrassing part of the bad reception for AI music is that if many didn't know it was AI, they might like it.
It's been decades that commercial music is more or less dead on substance, leaving the audience with "products" that are amazingly produced but with no juice.
I had a great time with @theflightmusic @venustheory and @earcom at #soundtrackkoln discussing VGM with the crowd.
Ofc I did bring Music Design on the table and the reaction of the crowd is reflected by Edward Norton on the screen. Please don't underestimate the value of MD.
Music design is often mistaken for a purely technical task but that couldn’t be further from the truth. At its core, it’s one of the most creative aspects of game music, capable of guiding players into unexpected and unforgettable experiences.
Hey #dyinglightthebeast community.
Some of you think that the track I wrote and available on all streaming platforms called “A Changed Man” is the main title of the game.
You’re mistaking…
The main title has yet to be unveiled but here is its name: “Kyle”
