Course Headline:

Learn orchestral video game music composition & game composer music theory secrets to compose music for any video game!


Course Description:

Unlock the Secrets of Game Music Composition - No Middleware Necessary! 🎧

This course is a treasure trove for aspiring video game composers. We're not here to teach you FMOD or WWise, the middleware softwares that sound designers handle. The reality is, as a composer, your focus should be on creating captivating music that complements the gameplay, not on integrating it into the game.

Game developers understand this and are looking for composers who can deliver high-quality, emotionally resonant scores. They'll worry about how to use your music within the game. What they want from you is a solid understanding of how your music will be implemented and what they mean when they discuss 'adaptive music for trigger zones' or 'music tags for each loop'.

With Benjamin Lynott as your guide, you'll gain invaluable knowledge that transcends the technical aspects of middleware. You'll learn the psychology behind how music affects players' emotions and how to leverage this in your compositions.
