Interactive Music Scoring Methods for MASS EFFECT 2
SPEAKER/S: Jack Wall (Wall of Sound, Inc.) and Brian DiDomenico (Wall of Sound)
DAY / TIME / LOCATION: Thursday 9:00-10:00 Room 3010, West Hall 3rd Fl.
TRACK / FORMAT: Audio / Lecture
DESCRIPTION: Making music for video games involves more than simply composing and producing great music. It has to follow the story and the action in a way where it's not in the way. The award-winning music from the 2nd installment of the groundbreaking MASS EFFECT series was conceived and composed with interactivity in mind from the music design phase to the final note written for the game. This session explores the design, development and implementation of the interactive score as well as the pitfalls and successes in doing so. With over 750 unique assets, particular focus is paid to communicating as a team and asset management.

TAKEAWAY: Audience members will leave understanding:
- Music production pathway demonstrated from spotting sessions to fully implemented music levels delivered.
- Knowledge of how the ME2 music team created and developed its approach to scoring the game interactively (or who did what?);
- Working with WWise;
- Demonstration of asset management methods using an online database with password access for select team members; as well as the Wall of Sound teams internal use of Dropbox.
