How Music For Videos Games Are Made!

YOOOOO! I partnered up with Epic Games & Aquiris Studios to work on there newest game Horizon Chase 2! In this video, I show you guys a full behind the scenes process on how I made music for one of their levels. This is my first time composing for video games and I had a blast making this!

Love Barry just being brutally honest at the end there lmao. But it's how you learn and grow. Awesome video as always!

I love the reality check ending😂❤. Feedback can't always be a nice thing, even for Simon the Simon himself

[dbthemc]

Definitely nailed the Rocket League sounding aspect in the first cut. Here's to you getting a placement in RL in the future 🙏💯

[Terror-Gene]

Good on you for leaving the critical feedback from the main composer in!
Much respect for taking it on the chin.
Quality stuff as always! 🥰

Love how barry is so honest but they hired you for a reason they needed your sound in there and it fits perfectly

[TomBsf]

Seeing Simon play video games just feels kinda out of place but I like it

[srimshady]

Dude at the end roasted the shit out of Simon 😂

As a composer of game music I can say you nailed it, happy to see my friends Israel, Paulo and my mentor Barry in this video! Amazing video!

Why did bro just greet him with a heil h*tler at 13:30 XD

[omuhillary]

Honestly Seeing the way Simon takes feedback and work on them is premium 💯 he's really good with his craft

[MaxDawn]

Love the video and the unexpected ending. Simon just got kinda demolished by the feedback of the main composer haha.

[trollingisasport]

As a composer this is like watching myself lol That's cool they give you all that useful feedback. Sometimes clients just like what I make and I feel weird.

[brkofdon]

you putting in the notes from the main composer says a lot about you as a creative!! well done!!!

[joeman]

as a software engineer i actually relate to the ending.

so you made a good song at first, but then the client made MANY changes, then once it's complete someone else says they don't like it etc. but that final song wasn't really your song, it was severely altered to the client's needs

[JacksonSadinsky]

The exact customers you want. They were so nice and careful with giving notes!!! What great devs

[guershonsaintfleur]

I'm happy for you Simon for this accomplishment! I've made two comic book series when I was in jail to pass time. I haven't copyrighted them yet but I've already made theme songs for them on FL Studio Mobile. Thank you for posting this, you inspire me! I'm wishing the best of luck for you and everything you accomplish moving forward! ❤

The thing I immediately noticed is that he didn't have a video of the gameplay running along with the track. That's so essential to making music for film and games. You need the reference just like you need references while mixing.

I'm a beginner developer and this is inspires me a lot. The way of dealing with musitions and the work for a big company is so amazing, i mean i know its hard but seeing you dealing with such a big company like Epic Games is so inspiring.

[melodiastudio]

The honest critics at the end is actually the highest appreciation a professional could give to every video game music composer.

[husbandbulge]

Amazing work, man. And considering that Barry was one of the absolute godfathers of this entire style, the fact that he was so engaged in providing feedback is really an indication of how well you did with the authentic emulation.
