Video Games Are The New Best Way To Make A Living Composing Music

You may have heard that it’s tough to make a living as a musician. You heard right! It’s a tough world out there, and very few people get paid a good living to make music. But while it may seem daunting from the outside, there is actually a greater demand for music than ever — there is more media created each day than ever, and most of it needs music. TV shows, movies, commercials, websites, podcasts, web series, promotional materials, and, of course, video games.

Look, no one really knows what’s going on with this whole Notch-Tim-Schafer-Psychonauts 2 thing.. But that doesn’t mean we can’t sit back and listen to what might be my single favourite piece of music from the original Psychonauts!

Plants Vs. Zombies’ Best Music Meets Shredding Finger-Style Guitar

I adore the music to PopCap’s Plants vs. Zombies. I bought the soundtrack from composer Laura Shigihara, and I still listen to it pretty regularly.

The Cheesy Music Of The Ace Attorney Series

I really like the Ace Attorney games — I like the characters, the situations, and I like the games’ uncommon good humour. I like solving crimes, I like the silly judge, and I like seeking justice. I like how Maya likes hamburgers.
