Happy New Year Ludomusicologists! We’re already one week into 2016 and that means there are three weeks until the submission deadline for Ludo2016! We’ve had some great proposals so far, and are looking forward to seeing more arrive in our inbox in the coming weeks.
Don’t forget, no matter your background or experience, we’re keen to hear from you! So if you’ve got an idea for a presentation, especially on topics related to vg audio history, then make sure you get it to us on or before January 31st!
Ludo2016 is our fifth anniversary conference, and we want it to be the biggest and best international gathering to date! We have some exciting plans for the programme which should appeal to both students and early career practitioners, so look out for further announcements in the coming weeks!
We are thrilled to announce that the second keynote for Ludo 2016 will be none other than Andrew Barnabas (Bob and Barn), composer of Brink (2011) and MediEvil (1998). With long-time collaborator Paul “Bob” Arnold, the famous duo have over forty years of collective experience composing film scores, ad jingles, scores for TV shows, and interactive tracks for games.
“From winning awards for the Commodore Amiga in 1991, plaudits for our orchestral fantasy scores for the MediEvil series of Playstation games in the late 90s, BAFTA nominations for our work on Primal for the Playstation 2 in 2003, we found ourselves being asked to score feature films and TV shows, our score for Lionsgate feature Green Street 3 winning best Action Score of 2013 and most recently our score to British Sci-Fi series Chronicles of Syntax winning ‘Outstanding music for Sci-Fi/Fantasy’ at the Los Angeles Webfest 2014.”
