2018 has been a great year for Fat Bard, and we wanted to show some snippets of what we've been up to.
We made a video showcased some musical schtuff we’ve been working on the past year, take a look! We’re excited about what’s to come in 2019, both with the projects that we’re part of and with a new avenue into original EP work. More on that front in the coming weeks!
https://www.twitch.tv/fatbard Fat Bard Feedback is a bi-weekly stream on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month where participants get feedback on their month...
Although we’ve been a bit quiet lately, we’ve been busier than ever working on some secret projects. Here’s last night’s twitch stream, where we critique some great song submissions and talk about some useful audio production tools for your mix.
We finished up September’s Fat Bard Feedback with 3 very strong submissions. We also spent some time discussing our path to success in the game audio industry and certain things you can do to increase your chances of working as a professional game composer.
You can watch the whole stream right here in this YouTube video!
BIG NEWS ALERT Levelhead from Butterscotch Shenanigans was included in the Nintendo Nindies Showcase Summer 2018. We’ve been keeping mostly quiet about this project, but now we can talk about the seriously amazing music we’ve been working on for it. Stay tuned for a sneak peak of a handful of tracks in the near future! Be sure to grab Levelhead on Nintendo Switch this November!
Fat Bard Feedback Week 2
Week 2 of Fat Bard Feedback starts tonight! We had some great submissions last time and we’re looking forward seeing the rest and wrapping up the first assignment. Next month’s assignment is an Action Theme. Think lots of percussion, choppy chords, and high intensity! If you would like to join in on future submissions, send us an email at [email protected]
All of our past streams can be found on our Twitch Channel.
HEYO starting Sunday July 1st at 8pm CST we’re going to start a Twitch stream where we give feedback on game/instrumental music for a half hour. We will give assignments at the end of each stream for participants to work on for the next stream’s submissions. For each assignment there will be a handout with details along with a short lesson on a writing/production concept. The idea is that participants get better at their craft and build discipline to create (and thus learn from successes and failures) more often. If you're interested email us [email protected] and we’ll get you the details on the first assignment for the July 1st stream. Nothing fancy required software wise, anything that makes noise is fine.
New entry in the Art to Music / Music to Art series, this time from Lu Nascimento (@viiolaceus) and Zach Soares (@y2bcrazy)! If you haven’t check out their work, please do. Lu is doing some amazing pixel work for Wargroove, the upcoming game from Chucklefish, and Zach is the premiere indie dev voxel artist, currently working on a few unannounced projects. They did something a bit different and made a 13 second clip that sets up a story, which we then continued telling via music.
We started off with a light-hearted, but spooky atmosphere as Ms. Pixel is standing at the graveyard entrance. We then imagined her opening the gate, and in doing so, releasing the spirits that were trapped inside. She can tell something isn't right, so she enters the graveyard to check it out. The further she walks, the more unsettled she feels until she reaches a large clock tower. Suddenly she freezes and the clock tower strikes.
Next round we’ll send them something to interpret via art!
Tiffany Turrill, a fantastic illustrative artist who has worked with such clients as Fantasy Flight Games, EA, and Disney joined us for another entry in the Art to Music series! Please check out her work at www.TiffanyTurrill.com, you’re guaranteed to find something that catches your eye.
In her words “ I wound up settling on this character, who's steeling herself, about to begin an arduous but necessary journey. I wanted to capture a pure, clear moment with colors that I don't normally use in my work. “
We began the interpretation very melancholy, as the character reflects on her past. We added some wind ambiance to give depth to the meadow, and imagined her walking through to begin her journey. A dramatic crescendo highlights her inner turmoil, which is the reason she's leaving in the first place. Finally she reaches the edge of her town and takes one last look before stepping forward.
We can’t wait to do round 2 with Tiffany where we send something off for her to interpret :).

We’ve started up our Art to Music / Music to Art series once again, and this time the amazing Fellipe Martins joined us for a go-around. Fellipe is an artist for games and comics; recently he contributed for the official Minecraft comic, check out issue 4 to see his work, and make sure to follow him on Twitter @fell_martins.
He sent us this awesome piece from Inktober last year that was a great fit for the series, and we gave it a fun spin. The obvious thing to do was some kinda of buildup musical piece that lead to an explosion of some sort, but we decided to have it start from where you first see the piece mid-explosion, then go back to the start with a cat purring on the sofa.
We can’t wait to do the next round where we send Fellipe a piece to interpret, and we’re excited to have some of our other new artists add entries in the coming weeks/months!
Heading off to GDC once again! While there are many fantastic games and new technologies on display, one of the best parts about the conference is hanging out with friends from across the globe. We’ll be in San Francisco through 3/24 so drop us a line if you’d like to meet up!
