S2E2. Self-Expression vs Game Expression – with Darren Korb

The House of the Dev

Raphael Colantonio and Peter Salnikov talk to Supergiant’s audio director and composer Darren Korb about music.

• What can you learn from being in a rock band? What’s the difference between writing songs for self-expression and writing music to express the meanings of a game?
• What’s the usual workflow between clients and musicians, and how it really should be;
• Looking for new ideas among new musicians even if they haven't written a single soundtrack yet;
• What do you need to learn and how to prepare yourself to accept the first true assignment;
• How does the adaptive music work, and why people who do that are still sane?

These and many other cool topics – in this exclusive episode of The House of The Dev podcast.
