GAME ON

The Recording Academy’s L.A. chapter has partnered with EA Games and Disney Music Group for "A Spotlight on the Music From Electronic Arts," 6pm PT on 9/19 at Walt Disney Studios.

The event will take an in-depth look at original and licensed music featured in award-winning properties like STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR, MADDEN NFL, FIFA/FC and THE SIMS.

The festivities will also include a discussion moderated by EA Worldwide Executive and President of Music Steve Schnur. Panelists include THE SIMS & FC music supervisor Cybele Pettus, MADDEN NFL music supervisor Raphaella Lima, STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR composers Gordy Haab and Stephen Barton, STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR audio director Nick Laviers and STAR WARS JEDI: SURVIVOR audio mixer Alan Meyerson.

The critical acclaim and Grammy buzz surrounding the Schnur-produced JEDI original score ST (via Ken Bunt's Disney Music Group), composed by Haab and Barton and mix-engineered by Meyerson, has already lit up like the proverbial light saber. Could a nom also be in the cards for the accompanying songs compilation Sounds From the Galactic Skylanes (also via DMG), on which Schnur served as music supervisor? We are trying to read the tea leaves, but this cup appears to be filled with coffee.

In any case, Steve has promised us we can help him beta-test a new game. It's called SILENCE.
