From sweeping orchestral scores to pulse-pounding action loops, music in games does more than just set the mood—it shapes entire worlds. Join two veteran game music mavens with a combined 50 years of industry experience as they dive into what makes game music so uniquely powerful. What gives a boss fight its groove? What makes a melody stick in your head for days? Thinking about getting into the biz yourself? Whether you're a fan, a budding composer, or just curious about how the magic happens, bring your questions—no topic is off-limits. We’re here to share stories, insights, and maybe even a few previews and trade secrets. Let’s be real—game music is the best. And the folks who make it? Also the best.
