Tom Schipper - Composer

Last summer, I participated in a game music course by .wintory . During the week, we were tasked to write a piece of interactive game music, which we recorded at the at the end of the week. This week was one of the highlights of my career so far, and an incredible experience overall.

During the week, I documented my composition process and experience participating in the course. After sitting on this footage for a while, I’m very proud to share the video documenting my experience. This video takes you through my entire week, thought process, lessons learned, and ultimately the recording session.

I look back on this week very fondly and am very grateful to Austin, my fellow participants, and the organization for making it such an incredible experience. I’m very proud of this video, and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Happy New Year, everyone!

As I mentioned in my latest video, I was thinking of opening up a Discord. I am thrilled to announce that this Discord has just gone live!

I want to use this space to make it easier for me to connect with anyone interested in what I’m doing, and to have a more direct line to answer questions or engage in meaningful discussions. Feel free to join, and I’ll see you there!

Did a thing this morning. ❌❌❌
When I signed up for this last year, I knew it could just be my farewell to Amsterdam. And given that I’m moving out in a little over a month, this turned out to be true. It was tough and I was an emotional mess at the end, but I am so proud of myself. Thanks for everything, dear Amsterdam, you have no idea how much I’m going to miss you.

As of the race itself: I held a nice pace for the first half, which felt like I could’ve held it for the whole thing. However, my legs gave up after 20k, and from there it was a struggle 😅 Super proud with this time anyway, especially given the circumstances of the last weeks!
