Harmonix's Josh Randall sends word that he will be delivering a keynote at the upcoming Cybersonica conference in London this weekend.

Randall will be talking about Interactive Music for the Masses.

"Josh Randall will discuss his experience at Harmonix Music, from the company's origins as a funky interactive music startup, to its growth into North America's leading music game studio. He'll trace the development of their award-winning music games Frequency, Amplitude, Karaoke Stage, and Guitar Hero, and discuss how teams of artists, designers, coders, and musicians all worked together to create these groundbreaking musical game experiences. He'll look at some of the pitfalls of designing interactive music products for a mass audience and describe lessons learned from over 6 years of music game development.

He'll discuss the role of creative expression within the game space, and how new interfaces and controllers are changing the way we interact with our music and TV's. Music gaming is bringing more and more people together every day, so what is the social impact of these games? Let's peer into the future of music gaming, and ponder what might be coming next."

Sounds interesting, on the off chance someone is going, take notes and pictures so we can pretend we were there. —Brian Crecente
