Making Video Game Music

Game Composition 101: A Deep Dive into Music Creation

If you're an aspiring video game composer, game developer looking to create your own music, or just interested in taking a deeper look into the realm of game music then this is my series just for you.

In this new miniseries, you'll follow along with me for a deep dive into the world of video game music from brainstorming catchy title themes to crafting immersive ambient music and dynamic cues.

Over the span of about 2 hours of content, you'll learn my process for game music composition from the ideation and planning, to the sound selection and compositional mechanics, to some music theory and arranging, all the way down to a completed set of cues.

In less words, this is designed to give you everything you need to take your music from the inspiration stage to a polished, in-game soundtrack ready to deliver to the audio team.

These are the same techniques I've used for everything from small indie games and apps, to writing music that's licensed for games, to working with larger developers and game studios to deliver a finished product.
