Game Music Connect 2013Following the enormous success of the inaugural Game Music Connect conference in 2013, Game Music Connect returns to The Purcell Room at the Southbank Centre, London on September 24, 2014.
Game Music Connect is an event for aspiring and professional composers of all backgrounds and those interested in learning about the art and craft of creating cutting-edge video game soundtracks. GMC features interviews, demos and roundtable discussions with some of the world’s leading composers and audio directors. Among these are Steve Schnur (Worldwide Executive of Music, Electronic Arts), composers Garry Schyman (BioShock Infinite), Jessica Curry (Dear Esther) and Olivier Derivière (Remember Me).
The day’s programming will comprise discussions with these and many other celebrated composers and audio directors, including insights into their diverse career paths and scoring experiences. Topics such as orchestral recording, composer representation, licensed music and indie game music will all be covered and there will also be practical demonstrations of interactive music. Full details of the day’s sessions, and more info on the speakers, can be found on the Game Music Connect website. Further speakers are still to be confirmed.
Game Music Connect is founded by BAFTA and IFMCA award-winner James Hannigan (Transformers Universe, RuneScape, Dead Space 3, Command and Conquer series, Harry Potter series) and John Broomhall, a noted game audio director, composer (Forza Motorsport 5, X-COM, Transport Tycoon), writer, jury chair for BAFTA’s game music and audio awards, and industry commentator.
