Emotional Composing with AAA Composer Jeff Kurtenacker

Today’s guest is Jeff Kurtenacker, an amazing composer and sound designer for AAA games. He is currently the audio director for Deck Nine Games, and has also worked as a senior composer for Blizzard and worked on a ton of projects as a freelancer before that. Jeff wrote over 14 hours of absolutely killer music for a game called WildStar that got canceled before it ever saw the light of day. Check out that music. Jeff has a great depth of musical knowledge, a mastery over expressing complex emotions through music and also teaches private composition students on the side.
