The Tim Kulig Free Music Podcast ·

2026/04/04

Like it or not, some of this new AI technology is breaking down barriers of entry for independent filmmakers. If done right, some of this tech can really enhance a production and add that Hollywood flare that costs a ton of money to produce.

Every once in awhile a game comes along that really pushes novelty and innovation. Arc Raiders is one of those games, and I didn't even LIKE it the first 10 or so hours of gameplay, and almost quit it entirely!

The visuals are stunning, but more importantly (to me!) the music and sound design have repeatedly immersed me in this post apocalyptic world. Kelly of Dork Tales and I discuss the nature of games, specifically
