Mikolai Stroinski is a music composer that has worked on the Witcher 3, Dark Souls 2 trailer, Vanishing of Ethan Carter, and much more.

We discuss:

• Think not just as a composer but as a video game maker as well. You don't want to get too attached to your music because it might not fit the game.
• Trust your inner voice because it's a sign to either continue or stop composing.
• Study different music vocabularies and play lots of different games. Don't just study video game music.
• Be a good human being because good karma ricochets back to you.
• Don't think about just making money. Think about how you can contribute more and positively affect people's lives.
• The challenges of getting a visa in America.
