Join Luke, Elliot, Lisa and special guest composers Allison Walker and Hew Wagner as they talk all about the importance of sound and music in video games and discuss the upcoming Melbourne conference, High Score: Composition and Sound Art for Games! 

Music and sound may not be something people think about when video games come to mind, but the way they create atmosphere and immersion for the player is just as important as the gameplay itself! We dive into this topic with two composers and ask them all about making music and sounds for video games! Allison and Hew also discuss the upcoming Melbourne convention, High Score: Composition and Sound Art for Games!
