Game Music Connect, a conference for video games composers and music fans, will take place at London’s Southbank in September.

Organised on 9 September at the Purcell Room at the centre, the event has been set up to celebrate and explore the talent of composers working in this medium.

The inaugural conference has been set up by award winning game, film and tv composer James Hannigan and acclaimed game audio director and composer John Broomhall.

Jason Graves, the BAFTA award winning composer behind the Tomb Raider score and Richard Jacques, composer of the soundtrack for Mass Effect, are two of the speakers due to appear on the day.

According to the website, the event offers ‘a rare, if not unique, opportunity to hear several of the world’s leading games industry composers and audio directors assembled in one place to talk about creating music for games - from both the composer perspective and that of the developers who work with them’ .

Professor Stephen Deutsch from the Media School at Bournemouth University and the National Film and Television School will provide the opening address.
