Going down at The Toff in Town, Games Gig comprises a lineup of queer, trans, and First Nations artists each performing their own gaming compositions.
As part of Freeplay Festival – the world’s longest-running independent games festival – a bunch of indie game sound designers are getting together to play a gig celebrating the sounds of gaming.
Happening at The Toff in Town on Thursday June 10, Games Gig will showcase a lineup of queer, trans, and First Nations artists each performing their own gaming compositions on stage.
And features some very queer friendly indie music!
Games Gig is the official Thursday night Freeplay Festival 2021 event, described by its organisers as “a music focused afterparty featuring a line-up of indie, pop, and electronic game composers performing their music from Melbourne indie games.”
Video World‘s Monster Mansion (aka Jacob Leaney) will headline the event alongside Maize Wallin, a composer who has worked on titles like the PS5 console exclusive
Godfall and indie titles such as
Receiver 2 and
Wayward Strand. Leaney and Wallin have also organised the event, intending it as a showcase for electronic and pop music, two genres that often don’t “get a chance to be seen and heard live, performed by the people that wrote it,” as Leaney explained to Stevivor.
