The most successful video games companies today realize that the composer and musicians they choose for their soundtracks has become one of the most important decisions in the entire development process.
Internationally renowned orchestras perform entire concerts of music composed specifically for video games, and game soundtracks regularly feature top-draw
bands. Music has become so pivotal to the success of video games that it has become common practice for games companies to hire seasoned musicians and composers to write their
soundtracks.
