I am thrilled to announce that the GDC Developer’s Concert is now a regular thing! Even more thrilling is that Austin seems to be hiring me to arrange for them as a regular thing as well. This remains a highlight of my year!

We really upped the ante this time. The highlight of the concert was the very first chart, which had the audience in stitches. It was a medley/mashup of musical jokes: what if X composer wrote the score for Y game?

This is some of the most fun I’ve ever had as an arranger. I’d go into more detail about it here, but the YouTube video I recently posted covers pretty much everything in great detail. I have an embed for that below.

There should be more coming from this concert, but sufficed to say I am ecstatic that this has become more than a one-off celebration. It is now a fantastic tradition that I hope continues for decades to come. Video game music certainly deserves it, and I’m just thrilled I get to be included and to be putting charts in front of monster musicians like Rob Kovacs, Laura Intravia, Kristin Naigus and Tom Strahle!
