MUSIC FOR GAMES

YOU KNOW YOU’VE DONE IT. The moment you hear a video game’s annoying, contrived soundtrack, the first thing you do is turn down the music before its incessant repetition gets engrained in your brain.

A GOOD SOUNDTRACK IS CRITICAL. Many game developers are oblivious to the fact that good music and effects can be just as important as the environment and the gameplay, and can easily ruin an otherwise great game.

WHAT MAKES VIDEO GAME AUDIO GREAT? Timelessness. I bet you can still sing songs from games you played decades ago. If you can’t remember a game’s soundtrack, well then it probably wasn’t good enough to remember. Good video game music can leave you humming it for days, months, or even years.

I WILL WRITE YOU MEMORABLE MUSIC. I will create unique sound effects. And if I do something you don’t like, I will change it until it is right. I am extremely flexible and never lose track of my goal: make the best video game soundtrack possible.
