The last half-decade has seen the rapid and expansive development
of video game music studies. As with any new area of study, this
significant sub-discipline is still tackling fundamental questions
concerning how video game music should be approached. In this
volume, experts in game music provide their responses to these
issues. This book suggests a variety of new approaches to the study
of game music. In the course of developing ways of conceptualizing
and analyzing game music it explicitly considers other critical
issues including the distinction between game play and music play,
how notions of diegesis are complicated by video game
interactivity, the importance of cinema aesthetics in game music,
the technicalities of game music production and the relationships
between game music and art music traditions. This collection is
accessible, yet theoretically substantial and complex. It draws
upon a diverse array of perspectives and presents new research
which will have a significant impact upon the way that game music
is studied. The volume represents a major development in game
musicology and will be indispensable for both academic researchers
and students of game music.
