A unique celebration of Video Games Music
An unmissable celebration of Video Games Music with masterclasses by award-winning composers Stephen Barton (Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, Apex Legends, Call of Duty) and Stephanie Economou (Assassin’s Creed, Dawn of Ragnarök), signing sessions, exclusive merchandise and demos, plus an incredible panel session with a stellar line-up of composers: Harry Gregson-Williams, Gordy Haab, Hildur Guðnadóttir, Stephanie Economou, Ludvig Forssell, Stephen Barton and Borislav Slavov, moderated by Worldwide Executive and President of Music for Electronic Arts, Steve Schnur.
MASTERCLASS: Stephen Barton
Stephen Barton, one of the busiest composers of Games Music in the business, gives an exclusive masterclass – a whistle-stop tour of how games are scored in 2024, plus some special guests, live demonstrations and music both released and unreleased, including Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Titanfall 2, Apex Legends, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and more.
MASTERCLASS: Stephanie Economou
Stephanie Economou is a major force in Games Music, who, like many of the composers featured in the Day, has also worked extensively in film and television. In this masterclass, Stephanie discusses her work on Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and her Grammy award-winning score for Dawn of Ragnarök.
PANEL
What goes into writing a score for a video game? What are the challenges? As technology has advanced, how has it changed the way games are scored and consumed? And what does the future hold? These questions – and many more – will be discussed by a stellar line-up of composers who have written music for some of the most popular Games ever produced (and whose music will be heard in the State of the Art: Games Concert later in the evening). Moderating will be legendary music executive, Steve Schnur, from Electronic Arts.
