Rock Band Network

Pyramind and RBN

Pyramind Studios is the exclusive U.S. provider of intensive 2-day clinics on authoring songs for the new Rock Band Network. Over a single weekend in San Francisco, learn the step-by-step process to get your songs into the downloadable content for Rock Band.

For Musicians & Labels

The Rock Band Network is the evolution of music gaming, empowering independent artists and labels to add their songs to more than 1000 tracks available in Rock Band to date! This marks a fundamental shift in the buzz-building potential for music games, and also an incredible opportunity for real musicians to create and sell their original music as interactive game tracks.

For Studio Professionals

For studio owners, engineers, and producers Rock Band Network presents a unique professional development opportunity to invigorate their businesses by authoring songs for their clients into Rock Band. The T-Mobile RBN Connect Creator's Club Workshop™ is a great way to get your feet wet, but if you're really serious about doing your own authoring you'll need more intensive training.

Pyramind Studios has partnered with Harmonix, makers of the video game Rock Band, to offer exclusive in depth training to the growing community of bands, musicians, labels and studio professionals looking to get their music into the game with Rock Band Network.
