Music for Games

This course will go over the basics of making music for video games. We will explore the different genres of video games from 8Bit retro games to large scale fantasy games and everything in between. We will look at pictures and video clips of popular games and discuss the feelings they give off and how we would approach making music for them. There will also be a basic overview of music theory and how to express different emotions through music.

As a composer for video games I will show you how I wrote soundtracks for the games I worked on and the obstacles I had to overcome.


 

Music for Film
