Music is a language that speaks to emotion. Composers are artists who communicate that emotion. But to inherently understand music’s emotional elements, to pop open a composition’s hood, peer inside, and know instinctively how it all works, is a gift. This internship is focused on a single project to become one of EA’s most important tools: Creating a detailed database of all music and music cues created over the past 20 years by EA Music.

Responsibilities:

  • You will listen to and become familiar with the entire EA Music library and you will learn to identify unique ways to break down and categorize its music and music cues.

  • You will Understand what and how different music elements can be pitched and placed

  • You will create a catalog based on potential user search needs

  • You will identify how other libraries categorize their music, then creating categories similar to – and beyond – existing templates

  • Understand and identify how Audio Directors, Music Editors and Music Supervisors might search for music cues for game, movie and television projects

  • Further determine which cues could be worth pitching to multiple genre producers to build a sample library

  • You will think out-of-the-box for ways into audio libraries, music placement companies and industry-wide 3rd party usage

Qualifications:

  • You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s Degree granting program graduating no earlier than December 2025

  • You understand different music genres and their place in pop culture

  • You have an interest in orchestration

  • You have interest in research

  • You have a significant knowledge of composition and music cues
