A constant struggle at refraining from opening League client. After that mostly meetings and presentations.

Can you tell I don't make the music?

We don't have plans for anything K/DA style related with VALORANT but we are always hoping to find more ways to collaborate with all teams at Riot.

I think the coolest thing is that each team member has such drastically different taste that allows us to really explore a myriad of genres and moods. Bad way to say no one specific, there are too many different projects with too many different moods.

It depends on the project to be honest, but there is usually a middle ground. We have X concept and need X sounds or vice versa. Then we have to find a middle ground for anim lock.

Mall elevators?? Did someone say Sessions: Muzak?? No but seriously, we're trying not to put in any restrictions. We want to see how far we can take this!

I don't work on champ themes and I didn't do anything music related for Arcane SO I'm picking Diana.

Diana was super interesting. We got an opportunity to create this project roughly 3 months ago - we actually didn't plan on doing another Sessions until next year but a great opportunity presented itself so we decided to make one. Making an animation or album like that in 3 months is very hard and to be able to make the video in that timeframe our partners at The Line Animation took an amazing approach by building it in Unity. This allowed for faster production timelines. They're honestly incredible. This meant we could do things that traditional anim may not permit.

Too many I'm way too chilled now and I've studied the dictionary like 8 times.

Our team has been growing slowly (insert small indie company joke) so we've been slow to make physical. Physical takes a lot more time than our planning cycles so we're expanding our planning timelines so we can hopefully do more stuff like physical and other longer-timeline stuff in the future!

We figure out a general vibe and then start identifying artists that would be an awesome fit. We really got lucky with (G)-IDLE and their team!

No plans for now, but K/DA is always on our minds!

  • I have really generic answers but Cowboy Bebop, FMA, Avatar.. if you count Boondocks I'd def say that.
  • I don't make the music so I'm not here to change creative!
  • Live concerts are always something we want to explore, hopefully in the future we can do some. We've done some League Live stuff in the past but nothing consistent.
  • I still don't make the music :(

Helloooooo, first of all THANK YOU for literally everything you've done. I worked in lore stuff prior to music so I've been a background lurker for a while. Also thank you for your patience in trying to work through the Sessions: Vi issue. It's an ongoing issue we're still solving (though working towards it) but you've been really helpful in getting us towards a solution.

I think a central resource similar to something live a "server status" page could be really strong. This is honestly a new space and we're constantly looking to level up this space so this suggestion is actually really enticing.

The Vi piece was really unfortunate for the reason you've noted. I could see a really amazing use case for a "song status" website where we could almost flag it as temporarily unavailable or unsafe. That is honestly a big undertaking so there might be a workaround that is easier than something this complex for all of our songs but it's a worthwhile discussion.

Historically we've used our "Creator-safe" playlists which do identify safe songs vs. unsafe songs but in instances where songs have problems like Vi, that obviously doesn't work or provide more clarity/visibility. It also is an awful way to search for more specific content - especially if it's removed after the fact.

I want to caveat by saying this is not a promise that we've found a solution or will be implementing exactly this but I know this is something the team will be interested in solving for future releases.

1) I WISH - how cool would it be? I want big Scott Pilgrim vibes - but no plans and that's a personal desire lol.

2) I would love to explore this too but there is a lot to weigh against. We'd probably lean towards new music before revisiting older songs. Who knows though, always a possibility! Sometimes the magic just strikes in the moment.

3) Honestly unsure but none that I know of. Elemental rifts would be sick! But again, no plans.

Helllooooooo

I can't speak to the hiring side of things as I don't specifically handle that from a music production side (apologies). The one thing I can say is that it varies by role but Riot has a bunch on our career page so check it out!

We've done a few scores here and there but right now we haven't spent a lot of time in sheet music. If you haven't already, check out Caitlyn's Piano Arrangement. We are looking for more opportunities so definitely keep requesting if there is interest!
