Pure Data - Generative Music Basic

"Leonard peels back the curtain of game audio design and reveals his creative process. For anyone curious as to what creative decisions lead to the bloops, bleeps, and ambient soundscapes of video games, this is essential listening. Today, Leonard begins by picking apart his design process at a cellular level. Literally!" -AT, Multimedia Editor

To see what students have learned at the school check out our YouTube and Vimeo channels full of student demo reels with 201,000 views & join 15,400 of our community online.

Students learn the process of creating and implementing audio for a video game and illustrative examples of gameplay are edited together to create a short demo reel. The quality of the sound design, music, speech, process, implementation and resulting demo reel will be evaluated by the school's principal instructor, Leonard Paul (MSc Game Audio) who has over 25 years of experience in the industry. All of our courses run on Windows and Mac.
