If you haven’t heard, SoundTrack_Cologne is Germany’s largest music event on music and sound in films, games, tv and other media. The event takes place on 22 – 25th August 2018, this year. The event itself is divided into three days, separately themed as: Games (August 23rd), Film (August 24th), TV (August 25th). For this article, we’ll focus on the “Music in Games” day of the event!
Most importantly though, they recently announced what gaming composers will be attending the event – who are completely new to the event: Takeshi Furukawa (The Last Guardian), Pieter Schosser (Destiny 2) and returning guest Garry Schyman (BioShock). The day of the event will involve them talking about what makes videogames scores special (their characteristics), their personal experiences and any upcoming projects they have to share. There will also be a QA section.
By the end of the day, Gareth Coker (Ori and the Blind Forest) and Richard Jacques (James Bond 007: Blood Stone, Mass Effect, Headhunter) will be in attendance for a panel discussion. These two previously attended SoundTrack_Cologne.
