G.A.N.G. Awards & Aragami 2 logos

Aragami 2 Music Nominated for Two G.A.N.G. Awards

The Game Audio Network Guild (G.A.N.G.) has nominated the music of Aragami 2 for two awards:

  • Creative and Technical Achievement in Music
  • Best Music for an Indie Game

Aragami 2’s soundtrack had big aspirations and a limited budget. We are proud to have helped composers Elvira Björkman and Nicklas Hjertberg find creative ways to realize their musical vision. The project was a collaborative, international effort with the composers in Sweden, developer Lince Works in Spain, and SoS’s orchestration and string recordings in Los Angeles. Good communication and careful planning led to success during a time in the COVID pandemic when international travel was not an option.

Congratulations to Björkman, Hjertberg, and Lince Works for achieving your ambitions and creating a unique, compelling musical experience.

The 3rd Annual SCL Awards

Yesterday was the Society of Composers & Lyricists’ 3rd Annual SCL Awards. SoS provided music preparation and contracted the all-star lineup of Hollywood musicians. This year’s ceremony featured performances by Aloe Blacc, Barlow & Bear, Judith Hill, Tom Scott, and world-champion accordionist Cory Pesaturo.

Jason Poss and SoS have been a part of every SCL Awards since their inaugural ceremony three years ago providing music preparation, managing the hiring of musicians, and consulting on union contracts and procedures.

Hawkeye releases today

...with Avengers on Broadway?

Hawkeye releases today on Disney+. Surprisingly, there was vocal music in the series that needed transcription and dubbing. Broadway and film music legend Marc Shaiman composed a musical number for “Rogers: The Musical” that is featured in the show. Who better to parody Broadway and the Avengers than Shaiman? Jason Poss admits to laughing out loud while working on this satirical show tune.
