The game industry is a bit of a mess right now and it’s hitting all of us, but when things get bad, they’re often toughest on marginalized folk.
So. @aiviwave.com and I are launching the Rising Star Patronage Project to support game composers & make great music!

Five years ago I went to my first PAX not knowing anyone and with no clue how to start connecting with people in the industry. This year could not have felt like more of a full circle moment.

Composers AND non-composers, if you're at PAX, come hear about how interactive music is made!
Join me and @noabeazley.bsky.social this week at PAX East as we discuss scoring for games! We'll draw from our own experiences and shed some light on what makes interactive music different from scoring film and TV. I'm excited to be back in the city where my musical life and career began!

A dev I'm working with told me he recently got a flood of DMs from composers negging him about the soundtrack and offering to rewrite it for next to nothing. They then stopped abruptly. Seems like some "business expert" was telling folks to do this as job advice.
Yikes, a 'BAFTA nominated' composer is sending *free* work to the studio I contracted with recently, asking to use their music instead.
Not only is this incredibly rude, it completely undervalues the field.
Is this a composer thing? Can't say this has ever happened before with my UI work! 😅
