With a half- dozen others from the University of Maryland Repertoire Orchestra, she founded the Gamer Symphony Orchestra to achieve that dream. By the ensemble’s first public performance in Spring 2006, its size had quadrupled. Today, the Gamer Symphony Orchestra provides a musical and social outlet to 130+ members. It is the world’s first college-level ensemble to draw its repertoire exclusively from the soundtracks of video games.

  • Game Music Como Produto Cultural Autônomo: Como Ela Ultrapassa Os Limites Do Jogo E Se Insere Em Outras Mídias
    revista Fronteiras – estudos midiáticos 13(2): 111-120, maio/agosto 2011 © 2011 by Unisinos – doi: 10.4013/fem.2011.132.04 Game music como produto cultural autônomo: como ela ultrapassa os limites do jogo e se insere em outras mídias Camila Schäfer1 RESUMO A música, nos jogos eletrônicos, além de servir como fundo, também é utilizada como forma de potencializar a experiência de imersão e interatividade do jogador. Considerando seu papel no game como de extrema importância, este artigo procura analisar como a música de videogames se tornou um produto cultural autônomo. Depois de realizada a pesquisa bibliográfica, foi analisado o movimento de autonomização da game music para identificar em quais mídias esse tipo de música se insere atualmente e como ela está se tornando uma manifestação cada vez mais visível também fora do universo dos videogames. A partir desses estudos, da análise dos processos de autonomização, concluiu-se que a game music, além de sua importância para os jogos, constitui-se num novo fenômeno midiático que a cada dia cresce e contagia mais pessoas ao redor do mundo. Palavras-chave: game music, música, jogos eletrônicos. ABSTRACT The game music as an autonomous cultural product: How it exceeds the limits of the video games and falls in other media. The music in the video games, besides of working as a background, is also used as a way to leverage the experience of immersion and interactivity of the player. Considering its role in the game as extremely important, this article seeks to analyze how the game’s music has become an autonomous cultural product.

  • Writing Interactive Music for Video Games: a Composer's Guide
    Praise for Writing Interactive Music for Video Games “Behind every great game experience is an interactive score that defines the emotional through-line of a game. Writing Interactive Music for Video Games will show you how to create such a score, from basic concepts to sophisticated techniques. It is filled with advice from some of the greatest video game composers working today, and written with the clarity and insight that comes from experience.” —Tracy Fullerton, Director, USC Game Innovation Lab “Michael Sweet’s book provides a much-needed text that walks a composer through all of the critical considerations when first starting to work in the video game industry. Not simply a ‘how-to’ but a ‘why-to’ that dives deep into the aesthetics and best practices of writing an interactive score. Through his years of work in the industry and years of teaching, he is able to bring together a comprehensive discussion on composing interactive scores. Professor Sweet brings together the nuts and bolts, the business, and pertinent historical moments—all while setting composers’ expectations for working in the industry. There is no better book to be found if you are a composer looking to understand writing for games.” —Jeanine Cowen, Vice President for Curriculum and Program Innovation, Academic Affairs, Berklee College of Music “Michael Sweet demonstrates a formidable depth and breadth of knowledge related to adaptive music. He adroitly covers both the creative and technical components critical to being successful in this field. This book is a must-read for newcomers and experienced composers wanting to learn more about the art of video game composition.” —Chuck Doud, Director of Music, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios “Clear, complete, concise, and filled with vital information.
