June went by fast, with today as the last Friday of the month. That means it’s time for our special episode of “On Stage Now”, and this month’s musician is Rachel Hardy.
Rachel Hardy has lived and breathed music since high school, when she started posting videos of her covers of music from video games and other popular media on YouTube. In the meantime, she’s earned an education in music (B.A. in Music from University of Calgary and Professional Certificate in Composition for Film and Music from Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass.) and applied her knowledge (a grant from Alberta Foundation for the Arts as an intern for Sacred Tiger Music and one of the runner-ups for the Spitfire Audio and HBO’s Westworld Scoring Competition). Rachel first worked as a Music Supervisor for Hidden Path Entertainment for an unannounced video game. She’s also worked on video game projects for several companies (Tencent, Real Game Machine, NatGames, Nexon, etc.) and composed scores and contributed vocals for a variety of media (documentaries/docu-videos, podcasts, events, sample libraries, TV broadcasts, albums, and short films).
Sit back as you listen to her vocal and choral covers of video game music, some in collaboration with other musicians…
