Connected as Brandon Higley (110 friends)
Brandon Higley was born in Northern California in 1986, where he spent his earliest years playing video games on a Gameboy given to him by his cousin. Titles like Super Mario Land and Final Fantasy Legend III were the first of many titles that would dominate his afternoons and weekends, simultaneously creating both a gamer and a composer. An early interest in video game music inspired him to learn a musical instrument, and at about the time that Final Fantasy IV (then II) and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past were his games of choice, he joined the school marching band.
This began what would be a life-long study of music, eventually leading him to study the basics of Western harmony and analysis under Dr. Robert Mathews at Yuba Community College before transferring to the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he specialized his courses for music for film and video games. There, he composed the soundtrack for the senior exit project for the flagship graduating class in Computer Game Design from a California four-year university, The Hacker and the Heroine.
Since then, he has worked on various indie titles, composing the music for a promotional video for Encore, the game music for the now-defunct Type 3, and Creakos’ “Project Genesis”. He is currently working with his brother on the game Extreme Hugtime Simulation Challenge for their game studio boredom’s products.
