Music/SFX support from Berklee College of Music:

Our Berklee collaboration allows your projects to have custom music and sound design. They have about 25 people ready to create any audio asset you need for your project. Get your requests in early (preferable by Saturday morning) so there is plenty of time to create great material for you, and help with sound planning and integration.

To contact the Berklee team, please utilize the following addresses to put in your requests. Starting Friday afternoon, Akash Thakkar (the audio director for the GGJ) will be assigning Berklee students to your project based on your direction and how many assets you need. Contact him via the Skype or AIM addresses below.

Skype Address: berkleegamejam
AIM Address: berkleegamejam

If you have any questions, or need help feel free to email Prof. Michael Sweet who is the Berklee faculty supervisor.
