G.A.N.G. is a resource for composers, sound designers, programmers, musicians, actors, engineers, producers, designers, directors and others who have a genuine interest in interactive audio. By banding together and providing one voice, members can better articulate, discuss and confront issues inside the interactive entertainment community.
The primary goal of G.A.N.G. is to encourage and promote the creation of better sounding audio, which advances the interactive entertainment industry by creating more competitive and entertaining products.
G.A.N.G. provides a sense of community to its membership and the interactive community through the sharing of knowledge and experience among members and related organizations industry-wide. G.A.N.G. promotes quality and the recognition of quality through the annual G.A.N.G. Awards Show.
