What is the landscape and process of working in video games?
The video game industry is huge and the popularity, creativity, and importance of video games can't be emphasized enough. Video games themselves require a really high level of music and tons of it. So how does this field of music work? What is the process of the music creation and where can opportunity be found? Grammy-winner Gordy Haab (Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle), HMMA-winner Edouard Brenneisen (League of Legends), and HMMA- and SCL Award-nominee Nikhil Koparkar (League of Legends) discuss the techniques they use to write music for such a unique and interactive medium.
