Making Waves is a new Sydney showcase and social event celebrating the work of local games music composers and sound designers.

What Does the Event Involve?

Making Waves will showcase a hand-picked festival lineup of local games, played in hi fidelity music studios at Forbes St Studios. The game's composer or audio creative teams will be on-hand to provide live commentary as the game is being played, sharing some of their audio choices, challenges and learnings.

The event will also feature short workshop sessions and talks, plus space to grab a drink and food while meeting others. We'll end the day with a social mixer.

Who's Behind It?

Making Waves is being organised by a small volunteer committee who are part of Sydney Games Audio (join the Discord here!). The event forms part of Sydney Games Festival (check out the full lineup here).

Who is Making Waves for?

The event is for anyone who is interested in the role of sound in games, from musicians and composers through to games designers, engineers, or enthusiastic players. It’s a great way to learn from peers, build your network and get inspiration.
