From the Press Release

The Game Music Foundation is pleased to announce its popular Game Music Festival event, (usually held in Warsaw, Poland) is coming to London this March. GMF London is set to feature a big-band ensemble playing the jazz age soundtrack of legendary run-and-gun title, Cuphead, followed by a symphonic concert featuring music from Ori and the Will of the Wisps, as well as Ori and the Blind Forest – all performed live at London’s Royal Festival Hall!

As well as the performances, an educational programme will also take place on the first day of the festival, while the second day will be dedicated to live concerts. The three previous editions of the Game Music Festival have been praised by fans worldwide, attracting an audience of over 12,000 on-site guests in total. The whole initiative is organised by the Game Music Foundation with tickets now available at gmfest.com

On Saturday the 5th March, the GMF 2022 educational programme will host masterclass workshops and other sessions, where participants will be able to see behind the scenes learning how audio is created for games, improve their skills and learn many tips and tricks from sound designers and the composers themselves.

Full details of the educational programme will be unveiled soon. These sessions will be a unique opportunity to have a closer look into the world of music and sound in contemporary video games, a fantastic opportunity for anyone who plans to build a career composing or designing sound in games.

“This time the festival will be held in London, but apart from changing the venue, our approach remains consistent: we aspire to maintain high artistic quality which has become the hallmark of GMF,” commented Marta and Mateusz Pawlak, organisers of GMF London.

“As with previous editions, we extract the musical essence of selected games to present them in a way that will satisfy not only the fan community but also music lovers in general. Besides the two big concerts, we also invite you to the educational programme which will once again be a forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience for audio professionals. We hope that both our regular audience as well as newcomers will be pleased with the end result at London's Southbank Centre.” For the latest updates, be sure to follow the event’s Facebook page.”
