The communication between game developers and music composers is often challenging, as two very different worlds collide. From my experience of over 12 years and over 100 game projects, I will provide work examples and advice to optimise the communication and get the best and quickest results. These are some of the questions I will strive to answer: Do I need a musical education to talk to the composer? What instructions does the composer need to work efficiently? How much artistic liberty should I give? What is realistic and what is unrealistic to ask? How should I present negative feedback constructively? The conference will be useful for game developers, art directors, audio directors and music composers alike.
