Music Design Intern

Our Music Team

Our small Music Team is part of a much larger Audio Team that includes our colleagues from dialog, sound design, and tech audio. While we all have our expertise, we love working together and having input on everything sound and music related. On a typical day you will likely find us in one of our many state-of-the-art 7.1 surround audio booths, our big live room or from behind a desk, surrounded by our lovely colleagues from all other disciplines.

What You Will Do

An internship is as much an opportunity for you to learn the ins and outs of music implementation in a game industry context as it is an opportunity for us to get to know new professionals like you. Many of our state-of-the-art tools are custom built and require specific technical and creative skills to be developed. For the duration of the internship, you will really become a part of our team. You can get to know our company, our team, our tools, our processes – and we will get to know you and your unique strengths. Every person in our team is different and brings something unique to the table, you will be no exception.

We want to emphasize though that you will apply for an internship as a music designer. This is not a composer internship. That means that you will think about the effect of music in different situations. You will work with musical stems from our composers to make them fit to these situations. You will find new ways to technically implement your musical ideas into our engine. You will work extensively with music material, but you will not be composing music yourself.
