More Than Our Masks: A Fireside Chat Panel
summary
Panelists claim Australia has fewer than 15 visible First Nations game musicians and describe building full game soundtracks by combining traditional instruments with Western arrangements, citing work on Old World with Christopher Tin where one contributor played the oud and sang on tracked sessions. They outline methods: researching Chinese and Irish sources, sampling tin whistle and Irish flute, hiring session players, and composing visual‑novel and mobile game scores; several projects ship and live demos play during the session.
