  • 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.

  • The Functions of Music in Interactive Media
    The Functions of Music in Interactive Media Axel Berndt and Knut Hartmann Department of Simulation and Graphics Otto-von-Guericke University of Magdeburg, Germany [email protected] University of Applied Science Flensburg, Germany [email protected] Abstract. The combination of music with interactive media enables new forms of expression, can expand the bandwidth of information flow by disencumbering and complementing the visual channel, and support the user/player in controlling and managing complex structures (e.g., in strategy games). Its associative power can be used to influence playing behaviour and decision processes. This, amongst others, educationally interesting potential lies idle! In this media theoretical and critical elaboration we intend to close the gap between music in static linear and non-linear interactive media. We will give a brief overview on media music perception, detail its historical development with regard to interactive media, elaborate and exemplify its narrative functions in order to widen the scope of the field where music meets interactivity. Key words: Interactive Media Music, Perception, History, Narration 1 Introduction Amongst all the arts, being interweaved by their cooperative coexistence in mul- timedia, music is one of the oldest and most frequently underestimated. In com- bination with image and sound it leads a nebulous shadowy existence, seemingly aimless or at least difficult to explain by terms like background music. Its tremen- dous importance only becomes apparent when taking it away, i.e., muting the music, and experiencing the disillusioning lack of this unconscious something [1]. What are the reasons for this difficulty of describing its value and even neces- sity in modern media? In Section 2 we will briefly introduce this special case of human perception of music that is performed in combination with other media.

  • Command and Conquer in the Development of Real-Time Strategy
    Command and Conquer in the Development of Real-Time Strategy Alex Devkar 3/18/2003 STS145 Professor Henry Lowood 2 Introduction By all accounts, Command & Conquer (C&C) was an immediate and unmitigated success when it was released in late 1995. It spawned one of the most lucrative series in videogame history, and its title has become synonymous with real-time strategy (RTS). Yet, the basis of the game was not original. Dune II, from the same developer, had previously established the RTS genre, and C&C was almost identical in many respects. What made C&C such a sensation was its refinement of Dune II’s gameplay ideas with the addition of several key innovations, which set the standard for all games of the genre to come. Internet play and varied styles of play between the different armies in the game were some of the important advances that are now fundamental to RTS. Furthermore, C&C’s flaws clearly showed some areas in which improvement was possible. The AI was far from perfect, and the idea of devoting more resources to AI became a topic of discussion in the industry. In essence, by both its strengths and weaknesses, the game provided a roadmap for the further development of RTS. History of Westwood The history of Westwood Studios, the developer of C&C, is vital to the RTS genre; without C&C, RTS might be very different today, and without Westwood Studios, RTS might not even exist. It was the company’s commitment to risk-taking and creative freedom that allowed C&C and RTS to bloom.

  • Nearly 20 Years After the Debut of Blade Runner the Movie, This
    Nearly 20 years after the debut of Blade Runner the movie, this cyberpunk drama can still draw a mean crowd with its film-noir styling and artful depiction of a futuristic LA. Westwood entered the picture hoping to capture the richlydetailed environments and let the player run loose in an adventure morefantastic then any gamer had experienced... and they did. One of the most interesting elements of the game is its close relation to the movie. Both game and movieare set in the exact place andtime and the game is played as Blade Runner Oetective McCoy of the same LAP0 unit as Deckard. Familiar faces from the movie continue to be seen in the adventure, as will be discussed shortly. However, you, enter the game to replace Holdenwho, as is seen in the movie, has just been shot while performing a Voigt Kampff test on a replicant. You begin by entering a world that has strong ties to the movie, but is not limited to the same linearity. The great benefit from absorbing the detail of the movie into the game is that you are permittedto explore and experience areasthat the movie only glancedover. For example, the game begins with you investigating a case of animal murder. As it turns out, most real animals have long been extinct in the game's world, and there areindustries churning outartificial animals, beyond just human replicants (which also explains TyrelI's Owlin the movie). Generally speaking, you'rejob is to track down the replicants who have illegally landed on earth and are causing widespread havoc.

As she staggers from the blow, move into range again and resume the assault. Upon entering the ship, Cad Bane cunningly gets Anakin to open the Holocron. Ventress survives Dooku's assassination attempt, and flees to the planet of Dathomir to enlist her kinswomen - the mystical Nightsisters - to assist her in a campaign of vengeance against her former master. Almost every week new content would be added, and all the while the social community of the game grew more and more. If the count hurls object at you, block and then throw objects at him. In which Anakin Skywalker teaches his padawan Ahsoka Tano how to engage an enemy in a lightsaber duel. Greed and fear of loss are the root that lead to the tree of evil. Let me just start by saying if you are looking for a video game with excellent gameplay, you will not find it here. At the start of round 2, the character who won knocks the loser down into the Rancor pit.
