In this interview, we sit down with Zak Knight, an audio expert and professional musician and we dig DEEP into the world of video game music and sound design!
With a musical background spanning over 25 years, Zak's expertise isn't just about notes and chords; it's about capturing the essence of creativity and emotion in every piece of music he works on.
As a professional musician, producer, and educator, Zak brings a wealth of knowledge to the table, drawing from 15 years of hands-on experience in recording studios, writing, producing, and engineering music.
But what really sets Zak apart is his recent move into indie game development, spearheading his upcoming indie game project, Bird Knight.
Join us as Zak shares his insights on how music can shape the very core of your game, whether you're a solo developer or part of a team.
From DIY composition tips to navigating the landscape of hiring composers, Zak answers all of our game dev music questions and gives a ton of practical advice and resources to help you get started with your own indie game audio journey.

Thank you so much for having me Brandon!
It was great having you! Thanks for offering your time, I learned a lot!
Appreciated the professional interview, guest and stories told. Thank you guys!
Every time I learn something new in game dev, it makes me more in love with it. I love your content and this interview is awesome. This makes me excited to dabble in the music creation.
I love that you do these interviews! Also I discovered your channel al while ago and I can really feel how your growing. Your videos are very inspiring to me and keep on getting better. Thanks for your content man! It's great!
It was super encouraging to hear that the story behind the creation of a soundtrack makes the music more memorable.
I would love to make the soundtrack for my game and I’ve only dabbled in composition, but I often wonder if I should bother; if I can create anything close to good.
So the thought that the struggle behind the making of the music actually makes it better is very encouraging and I’m going to press forward with the progress I’ve made so far on my soundtrack.
Thank you both for the interview! It couldn’t have hit at a better time.
"I am a screamer as you would call it" ❤
This was super informative thank you so so much!
really enjoyed this video! I am just starting to learn how to do digital music and all the tips/advice were great!
I have been working on my project for about three years now, and I have pretty early on decided that I am not getting into music creation myself. Zero talent. I will definitely outsource the soundtrack to a professional.
