Who is Alex Pfeffer
Alex is a Hamburg, Germany based composer with around 15 years of experience in the trailer music and video games world.
In 1998, Alex went to LA to study music at the Los Angeles College of Music, and started writing his first video game soundtrack for JoWood's Railroad Pioneer in 2003.
In 2005, Alex became a freelance composer for Dynamedion, European leader of video games music, live orchestra, and sound production.
His music has also been featured in many video games, such as CHORUS, Company of Heroes 3, Crysis 2, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Battleforge, Vikings: Wolved of Midgard, Sacred 2, Galaxy on Fire 3, Arcania, Runes of Magic, Risen, John Woo's Stranglehold, Dragon's Prophet, Tian Xia 3, The Settlers VII, ANNO 1404, Kinect Rush, Black Prophecy, DarkStar One, HCA: The Ugly Prince Duckling and many others.
Alex also provided lyrics and vocal recordings in collaboration with Mick Gordon for the Wolfenstein series.
Furthermore, he has worked for Trevor Morris, Frank Peterson, Sarah Brightman, and wrote many tracks for almost every top sample library developer.
Thanks to the Video Games Music Course, I feel ready to dive into a video game project with a good sense of what will be expected of me. It’s the perfect entry point for those who already have the basics of the composing process down and want to clear their path into the game music industry. No matter whether budget negotiation, project organization or the ins and outs of writing a main theme, loopable in-game music and scoring a cutscene: Alex takes us by the hand and gives us a powerful set of applicable knowledge on the way. The video on mental health is an eye-opening productivity booster.
