Join us for a special Listening Party as we explore the soundtrack of The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, both in its original Game Boy version and the Switch remake. We'll listen, compare, and discuss how the music brings this unique Zelda adventure to life.
Some things to consider while listening:

• How are motifs reused throughout the soundtrack?
• How does the orchestration and arrangement of the remake shape the overall effect?
• How does this game’s music compare to other Zelda titles?
• What harmonies are being used, and how do they impact the emotional tone?
• How does the 8-bit version’s music reflect the game’s dreamlike atmosphere?
• What effect does the music have on the player's experience?

I’ll be publishing a list of songs we’ll focus on, but you can also send in requests!

Game Audio Club Overview:

If you’re into making video game music or sound design (or just curious) come hang out with us once a month! Doesn’t matter if you’re a pro or just starting out— everyone’s welcome. Just bring your love for game audio.
We’re a chill group where you can share your work, get feedback, or just vibe with people who love game audio.

Stuff We Do:

• Show off what we’re working on (or just listen)
• Talk about how to write music for different game moments
• Mess around with making sound effects
• Give mini-presentations (if you’re into that)
• Share random ideas and nerd out
• Watch videos, play games, and pick apart the audio
• Basically, anything cool related to game sounds

Some snacks will be available. Bringing snacks to share is encouraged!

Parking:

Parking is available in the side parking lot behind the big Montessori Training Center & Lab Schools sign or on the street. The school that our event will being taking place wil be located on the left of the big sign. Please enter the building from the front door.

Hope to see you there!
