"Whatever music can do in a film is something mystical. The camera can only do so much; the actors can only do so much; the director can only do so much. But the music can tell you what people are thinking and feeling..." –Maestro Bernard Herrmann, born on this day in 1911

Our guest today on the Sound Business Podcast is Alejandro Pérez Heinze! We talk about Alejandro’s broad career path, his unique skillset and how it landed him work in the game audio industry, and so much more. Link in bio for the full episode!

This GDC was truly one for the ages. Our 3-Day Diversity in Game Audio Roundtable was amazing - I am once again floored by the quality of the discussions brought up and again pleased to see just how thoughtful we’re being as we continue to build the game industry of the future.
