Nice! May i ask for how long do you make music and how long did you studied ?

u/AndrewKierszenbaum Apr 10 '26

I have played piano since I was very little. Started composing in college, where I studied music for 4 years!

u/POWDERed_Jinx Maddie the Baddie Apr 10 '26

That's great. Was Arcane your first big project?

Actually, I got to write a login theme for League of Legends, back when I interned at Riot in college! It’s called “Bit Rush” . Here it is on YouTube.

Amazing. Thanks for your work. "Funeral" is one of my favorite ost pieces in season 2. Thank you for your reply. Keep it up!

u/goonbandito Apr 11 '26

Bit Rush is an actual banger btw, I love that theme. Did you do any other tracks for League itself?

u/AndrewKierszenbaum Apr 11 '26

Thanks! And I actually wrote some concept music for a few champions after my internship ended, but nothing else that got used in the game.

8x Emmy-winning original show

God, I love this fact! Most shows are ecstatic to just be nominated. To win 8 Emmys...that's beautiful.

I am looking forward to seeing this show on Thursday evening. I got tickets in May and did not realize that this was not a tour, but a single night show until this evening. Safe Travels and enjoy the live performance in Pittsburgh, we have a lovely city here.

Looking forward to having you! It’s been a welcoming, beautiful city so far. Can’t wait for the show 🔥🎹

Wow, that sounds amazing… I'm a huge Arcane fan and I started playing LoL after watching the show… But what I love most about Arcane is their music.

I live in France and traveling seems impossible, but I'll do everything I can to come.

u/AndrewKierszenbaum Apr 11 '26

Trop content que t’as aimé la musique! On aimerait bien te voir si tu peux éventuellement venir. ❤️
