Session Name:

Fascinating Rhythm: Bending the Power of Groove to Your Will

Overview:

Rhythm is the backbone of all music. Composer Jason Graves will break down his rhythmic approach to creating music from a drummer's perspective, including creative patterns for drums/percussion and writing orchestral music in odd time signatures. Topics will include musical phrasing and its impact on gameplay, creating grooves that support the in-game action, and how properly layering rhythms can build to a satisfying interactive game experience. Practical examples of well-known game music will be used in addition to a rhythmic deconstruction of Jason's scores such as Dead Space, Still Wakes The Deep, No Rest For The Wicked, and Tomb Raider.
