Summary:
"
Music
in
video
games is often a sophisticated, complex composition that serves to engage the player, set the pace of play, and aid interactivity. Composers of
video
game
music
must master an array of specialized skills not taught in the conservatory, including the creation of linear loops,
music
chunks for horizontal resequencing, and compositional fragments for use within a generative framework. In A Composer's Guide to
Game
Music
, Winifred Phillips—herself an award-winning composer of
video
game
music—provides a comprehensive, practical guide that leads an aspiring
video
game
composer from acquiring the necessary creative skills to understanding the function of
music
in games to finding work in the field. Musicians and composers may be drawn to
game
music
composition because the
game
industry is a multibillion-dollar, employment-generating economic powerhouse, but, Phillips writes, the most important qualification for a musician who wants to become a
game
music
composer is a love of
video
games. Phillips offers detailed coverage of essential topics, including musicianship and composition experience; immersion; musical themes;
music
and
game
genres; workflow; working with a development team; linear
music
; interactive
music
, both rendered and generative; audio technology, from mixers and preamps to software; and running a business. A Composer's Guide to
Game
Music
offers indispensable guidance for musicians and composers who want to deploy their creativity in a dynamic and growing industry, protect their musical identities while working in a highly technical field, and create great
music
within the constraints of a new medium."--From publisher.
