Dublin is getting ready to host another International Game Music Festival.
After last year's success, the event is back later this month - spanning three days across two venues. The RDS and the Dublin Convention Centre will play host.
Organisers describe the event as "a chance to celebrate and learn about that music from some of the top composers and artists working on video games today".
"Gaming music surrounds us every day: when we play games, when we accidentally leave our consoles on for hours, and even when we're fiddling around with menu options. That music defines and shapes how we relate to those games, and encapsulates the time when we played them."
The festival, which runs from April 29 to May 1, will be packed full of guests, talks, roundtables, and concerts.
- A presentation on new game music technology by Craig Stuart Garfinkle
- Composer Neal Acree will show and discuss his work from many of the stunning Blizzard trailers and cinematics.
- A preview of "Conductrix, A View from the Podium," Eimear Noone's upcoming 3D and VR conducting tutorials.
- A handful of select Irish game developers will show off their latest projects.
