This weekend I tried something a little different 🎮🎶
I composed game music at the 2026 Global Game Jam, hosted at Game Habitat in Malmö.
In just three days we were split into teams and challenged to create a complete game around the theme “masked”
I finished the music in about four hours however 🎶🤓 and decided to spent the rest of the jam helping our graphic designer get all the visuals done, teamwork at its finest! 👾
What really struck me is how different composing for games is compared to my background in classical music. In the game industry, composers are more like music producers, and you’re usually expected to know how to implement your own music into the game. Since that’s still new territory for me, our programmer jumped in and handled the implementation for me, another great reminder of how collaborative game development really is.
Huge shoutout to and for creating such a welcoming space for creativity, learning, and experimentation. Events like these make it so easy to step outside your comfort zone and try something new, and I’m already looking forward to next time ✨🎮
