  • Analyzing Modular Smoothness in Video Game Music
    Analyzing Modular Smoothness in Video Game Music Elizabeth Medina-Gray KEYWORDS: video game music, modular music, smoothness, probability, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Portal 2 ABSTRACT: This article provides a detailed method for analyzing smoothness in the seams between musical modules in video games. Video game music is comprised of distinct modules that are triggered during gameplay to yield the real-time soundtracks that accompany players’ diverse experiences with a given game. Smoothness —a quality in which two convergent musical modules fit well together—as well as the opposite quality, disjunction, are integral products of modularity, and each quality can significantly contribute to a game. This article first highlights some modular music structures that are common in video games, and outlines the importance of smoothness and disjunction in video game music. Drawing from sources in the music theory, music perception, and video game music literature (including both scholarship and practical composition guides), this article then introduces a method for analyzing smoothness at modular seams through a particular focus on the musical aspects of meter, timbre, pitch, volume, and abruptness. The method allows for a comprehensive examination of smoothness in both sequential and simultaneous situations, and it includes a probabilistic approach so that an analyst can treat all of the many possible seams that might arise from a single modular system. Select analytical examples from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and Portal

  • Uma Perspectiva Musicológica Sobre a Formação Da Categoria Ciberpunk Na Música Para Audiovisuais – Entre 1982 E 2017
    Uma perspectiva musicológica sobre a formação da categoria ciberpunk na música para audiovisuais – entre 1982 e 2017 André Filipe Cecília Malhado Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciências Musicais Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica Setembro de 2019 I Dissertação apresentada para cumprimento dos requisitos necessários à obtenção do grau de Mestre em Ciências Musicais – Área de especialização em Musicologia Histórica, realizada sob a orientação científica da Professora Doutora Paula Gomes Ribeiro. II Às duas mulheres da minha vida que permanecem no ciberespaço do meu pensamento: Sara e Maria de Lourdes E aos dois homens da minha vida com quem conecto no meu quotidiano: Joaquim e Ricardo III Agradecimentos Mesmo tratando-se de um estudo de musicologia histórica, é preciso destacar que o meu objecto, problemática, e uma componente muito substancial do método foram direccionados para a sociologia. Por essa razão, o tema desta dissertação só foi possível porque o fenómeno social da música ciberpunk resulta do esforço colectivo dos participantes dentro da cultura, e é para eles que direciono o meu primeiro grande agradecimento. Sinto-me grato a todos os fãs do ciberpunk por manterem viva esta cultura, e por construírem à qual também pertenço, e espero, enquanto aca-fã, ter sido capaz de fazer jus à sua importância e aos discursos dos seus intervenientes. Um enorme “obrigado” à Professora Paula Gomes Ribeiro pela sua orientação, e por me ter fornecido perspectivas, ideias, conselhos, contrapontos teóricos, ajuda na resolução de contradições, e pelos seus olhos de revisora-falcão que não deixam escapar nada! Como é evidente, o seu contributo ultrapassa em muito os meandros desta investigação, pois não posso esquecer tudo aquilo que me ensinou desde o primeiro ano da Licenciatura.

Para ello se ha empezado por brindar una serie de antecedentes que conforman el panorama en el cual apareció la tecnología que hizo posible la inclusión del audio pregrabado en los juegos de video y, posteriormente, su desarrollo e impacto en esta forma de entretenimiento en los años 90. Luego, se analizan distintos aspectos de la música pregrabada a lo largo de la década de los 2000, como la mayor calidad de audio, su vigencia a lado del chiptune, su tal vez excesivo parentesco con la música para otros medios como el cine, entre otros.

  • Evaluating an Adaptive Music System in an Adventure Game Environment
    Södertörns högskola | Institutionen för naturvetenskap, miljö och teknik Kandidatuppsats 15 hp | Medieteknik | Höstterminen 2013 Evaluating an adaptive music system in an adventure game environment Av: Oliver Eriksson, Philip Lindau Handledare: Petri Lankoski Abstract Adaptive music changes depending on parameters which change with events in the game. This essay explores whether an adaptive music system would be an improvement for the game A Story About My Uncle over static music, and if it would be worth the time investment of implementing it. Data for this is gathered by having people play an introductory level from the game twice, once with static music and once with adaptive music. The players answer a survey after each playthrough of the levels. The results show no significant difference between the static and adaptive systems in terms of perceiving the music, or the game experience. Keywords: Adaptive Music, Dynamic Music, Sound Design, Video Games 2 Sammanfattning Adaptiv musik ändras beroende av parametrar som ändras av händelser i spelet. Den här studien undersöker om ett adaptivt musik system är en förbättring i spelet A Story About My Uncle jämfört med statisk musik, om det är värt tidsinvesteringen som implementationen kräver. Data samlas in genom att ta in testare som spelar en introduktionsnivå i spelet två gånger, en gång med statisk musik och en gång med adaptiv musik. Spelarna svarar på en enkät efter varje genomspelning av nivåerna. Resultaten visar ingen signifikant skillnad mellan den statiska och adaptiva versionen när man undersöker spelarnas generella spelupplevelse, och upplevelse av musiken i nivåerna.

    CGP3013M – Assignment 1 Counter Strike: Global Offensive Forming and Maintaining Social Connections Through Success Jez Horton – 16610629 University of Lincoln Brayford Way Lincoln LN6 7TS 01522 882000 [email protected] ABSTRACT Gaming in general receives a lot of praise and criticism in terms of social play. Some believe it provides the user with more opportunities to maintain meaningful social connections while others believe the notion of isolation in every ‘hard-core’ player to reality. In this Paper we will be exploring the social implications of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and how they are exhibited to both provide and maintain a social connection with other players based on the success of them as a team generally. This would be beneficial as we could analyse what this means for the community and if very competitive focused team-play is beneficial to the players and their social connections, borrowing perspectives from social sciences as well as cultural studies. Keywords Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Social Play, Competitive Team-Play. INTRODUCTION Online gaming as a whole receives continuous slander from popular main-stream media sources such as the news, reference point being BBC News using headlines such as “Video Games cause addiction, violence and distress” (Klienman 2015). The slander it receives however doesn’t hold much merit as the ‘studies’ they quote and cling to have such a small focus group, furthermore many of the focus groups already had a disposition to an issue they were raising (Copenhaver, Mitrofan and Ferguson 2017). Contrary to this, many academics believe video games are a positive thing and help enhance the user’s cognitive abilities and the point of this paper; giving the players a social environment in which they otherwise might not have (Hanghøj, Lieberoth and Misfeldt 2018).

The first recognized video game was created in 1962, 1 and the few that followed it in the 1960s and early 70s were still extremely primitive, as was the technology they used. The limited storage space on the game cartridges meant that the first video games had little sound and no music. 2 The 1980s saw a surge in the popularity of video games, and a corresponding uptick in writing about video games. Before the 1980s, all books on video games were either instructions or strategy guides; in 1983, the first history of video games was published, which, although groundbreaking at the time, was a very short book meant for children.

    PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA DEL PERÚ FACULTAD DE CIENCIAS Y ARTES DE LA COMUNICACIÓN El videojuego online multijugador como medio de comunicación y socialización: El caso de la COMUNIDAD VIRTUAL PERUANA de TEAM FORTRESS 2 TESIS PARA OPTAR EL TÍTULO PROFESIONAL DE LICENCIADO EN COMUNICACIÓN AUDIOVISUAL AUTOR ALEJANDRO MARTINEZ RUIZ ASESOR GABRIEL RAUL CALDERON CHUQUITAYPE Lima, Noviembre, 2018 Resumen Gracias al cada vez más difundido acceso a la internet, los videojuegos han pasado a ser uno de los medios de entretenimiento que más ha aprovechado de ella para conectar a millones de personas geográficamente dispersas a través de espacios lúdicos digitalmente mediados. En ese contexto, este estudio se enfoca en conocer cómo la práctica lúdica del videojuego online multijugador Team Fortress 2 influye en las interacciones sociales de los jugadores provenientes de Lima y otras provincias del Perú. De esa manera, busca aumentar la consideración sobre la importancia del aspecto social de los videojuegos, más allá de su valor de entretenimiento, y contribuir a la poca cantidad de investigaciones comunicacionales en el país acerca del entendimiento de formas de comunicación e interacción entre usuarios de videojuegos. Esta investigación se realizó bajo un enfoque mayoritariamente cualitativo. Se hizo un análisis descriptivo de los aspectos del videojuego en cuestión y los espacios de comunicación formados alrededor de este, en paralelo a la aplicación de cuestionarios online y subsecuentes entrevistas a profundidad, para observar y ahondar más acerca de las características que presentan los jugadores de la comunidad peruana, tales como el uso de canales de comunicación dentro y fuera del juego, las motivaciones de sus prácticas lúdicas, y el involucramiento y participación dentro de la comunidad.
