in a little over 24 hrs, all AAA game companies hiring in washington/california will have to disclose salary ranges within each job posting. get ready to experience a spectrum of emotions - prob mixture of shock, anger, sadness, and hopefully you can leverage the market info
Thank you to the Bungie CP team for working with us to release some of our favorites!! Peep this free OST download and lmk what you think 👀 30th Dungeon hype is real, so excited for all of you to take a listen and PLAY!!!
THE DESTINY 2: WITCH QUEEN OST IS OUT! please enjoy what is possibly my FAVORITE soundtrack we've made. i hope you love it as much as we loved making it!
itunes, youtube etc will be coming out following game launch!
hans zimmer, ppl - the composer WhO HAs ChANGED All OuR LiVes - happens to be a complete jackass! from labor exploitation to now bullying people on a facebook group...it's endless!!
@danghentschel
you really didnt even read the essay bc it wasnt double spaced? wow honors english is such a waste of time. hope your students find a better teacher
there’s one track on the Witch Queen OST that is ABSOLUTELY my favorite, it takes my breath away. there’s no doubt y’all will find it as special as i do 😭
this morning i went to get a new security badge- in the midst of all the news- and i saw my coworker who i’ve known since day 1 here leave. i then texted two of my coworkers and found out the people who trained me and guided me when i first started at bungie were also let go
Ferried from an unknown time and place, a haunting presence has been detected. We must now confront the ancient threat growing at our doorstep.
The Root of Nightmares raid opens on March 10, 2023 at 9am PST. Contest Mode will be enabled for 48 hours.
and the RICH thing about all of this? Hans is the not the guy to be scolding ppl about putting musicians out of work. Look how he convinced Fox to fire Alf Clausen (and the union orchestra that performed music for each Simpsons episode), and hire his stupid Bleeding Fingers shit
ooo hi

@Bungie
as a music specialist on the music team.
Before I got into games, I was working at film music studios! I'm also an active advocate for worker's and labor rights in the post-production music industry <3
destiny players really appreciate the music. i dont think i know any other live game fanbase that knows the game’s music, melodies, and moments like second nature 🤯 we’re all from different parts of the world but can speak the same language: love for the music of destiny 🥰
OMG! WE GOT IT! AHHHHHH!!!!!!! So proud of the Bungie music team, our kickass Consumer Products team, our mastering engineer Rick Fisher, and our amazing vinyl manufacturer

it boils my blood that the Simpsons is one of the longest-running primetime cartoons in the US, and their composers make a lil more than $4k/yr, and those composer assistants make as low as $12.50/hr at 38/hrs a week so they dont qualify for health insurance!
it is OUT!!!!! YES!!! hope you enjoy the Lightfall OST, released one day earlier on ALL DSPs (!!!) as a special surprise for yall 🥰 LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK?!

amazon:

UPDATE: several people are now pitching in to buy OP some erhu VSTs! 💕 thank you everyone for your advice and help! also here is a screenshot of Hans proving its him, and also possibly the best roast ever

the music team at bungie took a chance on me - i had no in-house games experience, i knew no one at bungie...and when i joined they gave me the room to take on more responsibility and dedicate my time to new skills. i feel very grateful but lets be honest - this shouldn't be rare
SURPRISE! With some hard work we released a few tracks from the Prophecy Dungeon! If you haven't ran it yet, hurry hurry hurry! Hope you enjoy, lmk what you think!
#Destiny2
😭 Destiny 2: Lightfall got nominated for Audio of the Year, Dialogue of the Year, Best Audio Mix, Best Cinematic & Cut Scene Audio, Best Game Trailer Audio, Best Voice Performance at this year's GANG awards. in a tough year i'm so happy we're getting recognized ❤️
it's like, really, really hard to get a job in games. and its something we should all think about before taking rejections to heart; being rejected is kind of the nature of breaking into it (and it shouldn't be - but that's another topic). please keep applying to your dream jobs
the whole firing a composer and hiring hans zimmer for ur movie is such a tired trope. i mean i can already predict the movie is going to sound a certain way and that takes half of th——BRAAAAAM
ahahha my HZ spidey senses were tingling....TIL if hans zimmer sends you a broken youtube link to one of his Man of Steel tracks, and you ask why the link is broken, he calls you poor and accuses you of stealing LOOOOL
today marks 2 full years
@Bungie
! what started out as an big ?, turned into possibly the best and most fulfilling work i've done. endlessly grateful to Skye, Mike, Josh, Michael, Kory, and the rest of the audio team for taking a chance on me. here's to many more years of music!
what's up with people asking me to doxx HZ's personal FB profile because they 'don't believe me'? sorry but no, i'm not going to share his profile with some crazed super fans. stop asking me, thanks!
im really happy bungie stands up for human rights. i really wish everyone could say this about their own employer, too. and i'm very disappointed that a majority of our industry has remained silent :/
my opinion is that character melodies shouldn’t be introduced in a show until there’s a pivotal moment crucial to the character’s development. it can be teased at w tonality or motifs or palettes…but using the melody from first introduction and throughout every scene is 🤢
i am very excited for the 30th Anniversary DLC especially bc i took point on implementing music for the dungeon. it was the first time i ever did anything on such a big scale, but the music and design teams were so patient with me and helped me every step of the way 🥺 so excite
The Final Shape has some truly breathtaking moments - i can proudly say the spirit of Bungie Music is weaved all throughout this release. i hope yall love it
AHHH!!! the Destiny 2: The Witch Queen OST got nominated for "Best Original Soundtrack Album" at the Game Audio Network Guild Awards!!! 😭😍
sooo proud of our team and all of the hard work that went into it. what a GREAT vibe to the year
i forgot that april 22nd was actually my official 4 years at bungie!!!
looking forward to this upcoming next year as i master music implementation and continue to grow professionally

destiny fans are very special and i love how much they appreciate the music. this is one core trait of our player base that IMO always sets us apart from any other typical AAA game; the music is beloved and we do it all for the fans

this is a great job opportunity if you're a fresh grad and interested in breaking into game audio (or specifically game music!). it looks like a degree in either music or audio-related field is required, but still a cool/rare opportunity!

@CHaus242
it’s kinda fitting that hans zimmer is now berating the academics that train the upcoming talent he’ll need to hire n take advantage of. honestly, he should keep doing that so every professor at every music institution drills into their students’ brains that HZ is a massive dick
@realgirl_fieri
biggest thing i hate is once ur friends have kids you lose contact/theyre too busy to maintain friendships. really sad n unfortunate reality that i have to accept as i get older n dont plan to have kids myself
now that Lightfall is approaching…here are some fun pix from our orchestra recordings last year! pieter conducted for us this time and mike won “eternal glory” for guessing the correct number of music takes 😂
i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate layoffs i hate
forreal bungie health insurance is so good. ive compared the benefits to multiple AAA studios and…hard pressed to find a benefits package as good as this one
WE HEARD YOUR CRIES FOR AN UPDATED MUSIC VIDOC 🥹😭
a BTS video featuring some of my favorite people on making the score to Lightfall 💕 special shoutout to pieter schlosser’s fashion
the hans zimmer dick sucking contest going on in the Perspective forum is nauseating to watch. no one is questioning anyone's ability to write their own music....they're questioning WHETHER YOU PAY PEOPLE FAIRLY, PROPERLY CREDIT THEIR WORK, AND TREAT YOUR EMPLOYEES WELL LOL
