  • The History of Video Game Music from a Production Perspective
    Digital Worlds: The History of Video Game Music From a Production Perspective by Griffin Tyler A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree, Bachelor in Arts Music The Colorado College April, 2021 Approved by ___________________________ Date __May 3, 2021_______ Prof. Ryan Banagale Approved by ___________________________ Date ___________________May 4, 2021 Prof. Iddo Aharony 1 Introduction In the modern era of technology and connectivity, one of the most interactive forms of personal entertainment is video games. While video games are arguably at the height of popularity amid the social restrictions of the current Covid-19 pandemic, this popularity did not pop up overnight. For the past four decades video games have been steadily rising in accessibility and usage, growing from a novelty arcade activity of the late 1970s and early 1980s to the globally shared entertainment experience of today. A remarkable study from 2014 by the Entertainment Software Association found that around 58% of Americans actively participate in some form of video game use, the average player is 30 years old and has been playing games for over 13 years. (Sweet, 2015) The reason for this popularity is no mystery, the gaming medium offers storytelling on an interactive level not possible in other forms of media, new friends to make with the addition of online social features, and new worlds to explore when one wishes to temporarily escape from the monotony of daily life. One important aspect of video game appeal and development is music. A good soundtrack can often be the difference between a successful game and one that falls into obscurity.

  • Northlane – 2D (EP)
    Northlane – 2D (EP) (22:18, Vinyl, Digital, UNFD, 2020/2021) Auf den Namen Northlane stieß ich persönlich zum ersten Mal, als ich mich mit „The Remnants Of Losing Yourself In Someone Else“ beschäftigte, dem Debütalbum der R&B-Prog- Formation Glass Ocean. Deren Schlagzeuger Nic Petterson verdrischt nämlich hauptberuflich die Felle der australischen Chartsstürmer. Chartsstürmer? Ja! Denn obwohl die Band in Europa noch relativ unbekannt ist, schaffte es das Quartett aus Sydney bereits mit seinem zweiten Album „Singularity“ (2013) auf Platz 3 der australischen Albumcharts. Das zwei Jahre später erschienene „Node“ erlangte sogar deren Spitze, während dessen Nachfolger „Mesmer“ (2017) und „Alien“ (2019) es jeweils auf die dritten Stufe des Siegertreppchen schafften. Ursprünglich dem Metalcore zugerechnet, entfernten sich Northlane auf „Singularity“ erstmals vom klassischen Metalcore ihres Debütalbums „Discoveries“ (2011) und öffneten sich für progressive Einflüsse im Stile von Meshuggah und Between The Buried And Me. Hierbei beließen es die Australier jedoch nicht, sondern fügten ihrem Gesamtsound über die Jahre immer wieder neue Stilelemente hinzu, so dass auf dem letzten Album Metalcore, Progressive Metal, Nu Metal Industrial und EDM zusammenkamen. Mit „2D“, ihrer neuesten EP, gehen die Sydneysider, diese Entwicklung jedoch nicht weiter, sondern sie legen vielmehr eine Art Zäsur ein. Denn bei den fünf sich auf „2D“ befindenden Aufnahmen handelt es sich allesamt um neu arrangierte akustische Versionen von Liedern, die ursprünglich auf „Alien“ zu finden waren und vom Sänger der Band im Alleingang während des Corona-Lockdowns eingespielt worden sind. Frontmann Marcus Bridge hierzu: Eine Akustik-EP aufzunehmen ist etwas, was wir schon seit geraumer Zeit machen wollten und das sich mit der persönlichen Natur der Stücke von „Alien“ richtig angefühlt hat.
