Composing Music for Indie Games - Heart-Beats Interview with Jumpship Music

Tim_Harbour

Hi there guys. This is an interview I did discussing some of the games I've worked on along with techniques, and ideas related to video game music composition. Just excuse my hair... I don't look in a mirror often :P

Here is the list of things discussed in the video:

1. Composition for different genres and themes
2. How to match the genre to a game
3. When and why did you start Jump Ship Music?
4. How long is a typical game song and how is it structured?
5. Music for Indie (independent) Games
6. Tim’s Masters in Composition at Wits
7. The music for video games Braid, FEZ and Journey
8. Vertically layered music which is a style of composition used in video games

Hope some of you find it useful or interesting.
