Boston Indies Meeting – “Working with Composers”

Sponsored by the MIT Game Lab

The MIT Game Lab is happy to host the Boston Indies group this April for their monthly meeting. This month features a lecture from Li Xiao’an:

Working with Composers

Li Xiao’an presents a primer for developers regarding process, communication and common problems/solutions in working with composers. He will detail the steps involved in creating a soundtrack, and reveal industry figures and practices relating to music production for video games.

Li Xiao’an is the founder and music director of Boston Scoring, the first one-stop full-service music production company in Boston with a full roster of on-call recording musicians (60+ and growing). He has written for casual, mobile and PC titles, commercial spots and educational videos, and also recorded guitar over the last 6 years for platinum and chart-topping producers and artists in Asia and the USA.

We gather once a month in Boston, typically third Mondays, to talk about independent game development and aid each other in our endeavors. If you’re wondering whether you should come to a BI meetup, read our About page to get a sense for whether our community is right for you and you for it.

Boston Indies is a community of dedicated independent game developers in Massachusetts and the surrounding area. Boston Indies works to foster a sense of community among Boston’s independent game developers, facilitate monthly meet-ups and other related community events, encourage developers to create games independent of large budgets and large company ties, provide a safe environment to obtain critical feedback on game development works in progress and serve as a brain trust for important information sharing among local independent developers.
