Information

In this talk, Jon will share practical strategies to help composers and developers design music systems that are simple, elegant and capable of thriving in a dynamic game development cycle. Since no two games or game teams are alike, Jon will highlight real-world examples of music systems that are self-directed, inherited, and collaboratively made. He will highlight his experiences as a sole composer for The Lamplighters League, co-composer for Star Wars Outlaws, contributing composer for Overwatch 2, and composer for the indie game The Solitaire Conspiracy.
