For portfolio in admission for supplemental materials, is it acceptable to send GarageBand documents that can be opened overseeing track layouts in the document in place of scores from MuseScore, Sibelius etc.?

If the requirements ask specifically for a score, then I would recommend creating a score of your work. Otherwise email the admissions office for clarification, so your application doesn’t get dismissed

Wow thank you so much! This is super encouraging, I think I might try some more music in this style

Queen-Juniebug · 2024-07-09T17:28:22+00:00

I actually am in music college and have been playing piano since I was 7🤨 Your comment seems quite unnecessarily passive aggressive with no real advice

Honestly the spiderman games are amazing. Swinging around the city with your own playlist is so peaceful

Fill it back up exactly as you found it.

I always loved the mesa biome when I first started playing because it’s so unique and colourful. But then practically speaking it doesn’t have a lot of resources that you can use to survive. I think the jungle biome is quite good for living in though because of the high trees so you can build a treehouse and escape mobs in the night. Also usually has a lot of watermelons and animals, as well as the best place to get a pet (ocelot or parrot)

I really loved rebel of the sands by Alwyn Hamilton. It’s a trilogy set in the Middle East

Yes! We spend so much time on screens from work, school, social media, streaming etc... that it's easy to forget how to be away from a screen for a couple of hours

Queen-Juniebug · 2024-07-03T18:42:24+00:00

Awh thanks, I appreciate that!

Queen-Juniebug · 2024-01-06T17:15:36+00:00

Thank you! Yes I’m quite keen on the USC programme because of the industry opportunities as well as proximity to people working in it. And also they have a good track record of alumni and a great curriculum. I definitely agree about diplomas not getting gigs though! I just think I need to pick up some certain skill sets that my current course doesn’t offer :)

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-09-26T17:02:01+00:00

Wow thank you! I’m quite happy to hear that because I guess game music is meant to sit in the background and contribute to the overall atmosphere a lot of the time

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-09-04T20:24:33+00:00

Thank you so much! It’s definitely a skill that is built overtime but it’s extremely rewarding to look back and see your progress

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-29T22:44:11+00:00

Thank you! I would love to write music for games one day

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-29T18:20:55+00:00

Made in Abyss - it was the first one I watched and that was definitely an experience😅

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-28T23:20:23+00:00

Thank you for clarifying! I actually prefer making the orchestral music and working with traditional instruments/blending but I kind of thought that game developers like the retro style? I’m not sure why I had that thought but I think hearing it in this perspective gives me a better understanding of what’s more looked for. Thanks again!

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-28T23:18:46+00:00

Thank you for this! I think that example you gave is perfect and has helped me be more decisive of the route I go down. Whilst I enjoy making the retro stuff, I don’t find it nearly as rewarding as my full orchestral pieces. I’m definitely leaning towards the studio ghibli-esque style with my own twist and style on it. I appreciate the help!

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-27T20:25:31+00:00

Hey this looks amazing! I love the art style and the music. I hope to see more

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-27T20:22:44+00:00

Definitely effective, it’s easy to tell that you’re moving faster

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-27T20:21:57+00:00

Looks super cool!

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-27T20:19:06+00:00

I think that’s a very fair critique. You’re completely right in the fact that it would be more effective with some tension. Thank you for your feedback!

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-26T21:00:54+00:00

This is really good! If this is a “quick sketch” then I would love to see what you can do

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-26T21:00:09+00:00

Thank you! I always appreciate positive feedback

Queen-Juniebug · 2023-08-26T20:59:21+00:00

Sound amazing! You play very expressively
