Beleaguered from staring into the spotlight of pop stardom, Haruomi Hosono let out a sigh of relief. âOur music happened to hit the chart and I had an awful time. I was too famous to walk around,â he told the Red Bull Music Academy in 2014. âAs the dust settled, I was liberated at last. I love to be free.â

Glad you re here! I m videogame composer Winifred Phillips, and every year I compile a big list of the top online resources available for game audio folks.
