Chef Adjey’s time here was made possible by the institute’s Chef-in-Residence program. Story, page 2. 2 The Nugget Thursday, March 25, 2010 NEWS&FEATURES adjey adds his flavour By LINDA HOANg Assistant Issues Editor Last week, NAIT Culinary Arts students received a recipe for success as a celebrity chef stopped into the school for a week of guest teaching. Recognized from Iron Chef and Restaurant Makeover, Food Network celebrity chef David Adjey spent five days teaching Culinary Arts students, as part of NAIT’s Hokanson Chef-in- Residence program. Adjey was involved in various lecture ses- sions, discussing “Life as a Celebrity Chef” and how “Great Chefs are Great Communica- tors,” as well as teaching students in cooking labs ranging from desserts to soup and vegeta- ble labs, wine and food preparation and meat- cutting. Students also prepared a lunch service for 120 special guests using Adjey’s own recipes, cooking under his guidance. Adjey said the chance for students to learn from a celebrity chef through the Chef-in-Resi- dence program is a great experience for up-and- coming chefs. “Sometimes it’s a little bit easier to listen to it from someone that you recognize,” he said. “You know an instructor is an instructor and I was a student too you know, an instructor’s talking and you hear ‘wah wah wah.’ You’re not even hearing the words.

    The WMGSO is a community orchestra and choir whose mission is to share and celebrate video game music with as wide an audience as possible, primarily by putting on affordable, accessible concerts in the D.C. area. Game music weaves a complex melodic thread through the traditions, shared memories, values, and mythos of an entire international and intergenerational culture. WMGSO showcases this music because it largely escapes recognition in professional circles. The result: classical music with a 21st-century twist, drawing non-gamers to the artistic merits of video game soundtracks, and attracting new audiences to orchestral concert halls.

The piece delicately opens with two phrases from the high and low voices, which are then joined by the entire orchestra for the main theme. After a brief interlude consisting of solos from the French horn, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon, the music takes on a march-like feel and later climaxes with a final, resonant chord. “SSBM: Final Destination” Tadashi Ikegami Super Smash Brothers Melee Arranger: Christopher Lee The end stage of Super Smash Bros.

  • Exploring Ivalice Through Music: an Examination of Music, Landscape, and Classical Etymology in Final Fantasy XII Marina Gallagh
    Exploring Ivalice Through Music: An Examination of Music, Landscape, and Classical Etymology in Final Fantasy XII Marina Gallagher Music 381 Dr. Gray August 2014 2 Music in video games forges such a strong connection between players and fictional worlds that gamers are willing to purchase official soundtracks and visit concerts dedicated solely to game music, such as Video Games Live and Distant Worlds: The Music of Final Fantasy. Throughout video game history, the role of music in games has grown to such an extent that soundtracks written for symphony orchestra (rather than a single keyboard) are seamlessly integrated with characters and on-screen graphics.1 As Simon Wood notes, “the connection between game music and music for film…[is] a constant trope” for gamers and composers alike; however, this connection is not unfounded, as films and video games both rely on “audience members”/gamers to enter a fictional world, or diegesis.2 Karen Collins notes that music “plays a significant role in the immersive quality of a game” and that, if the music is interrupted or absent, gamers do not feel as physically present within the game world.3 Although she also mentions the contention amongst scholars regarding immersion in video games,4 it would seem that video game music plays a key role in making various areas come alive for gamers. Collins suggests that “symbols and leitmotifs are often used to assist the player in identifying…environments”,5 though orchestration can also assist in creating a sense of a particular place, such as the serene countryside. This paper seeks to examine the connection between the soundtrack of role-playing game Final Fantasy XII and in-game landscapes to identify the ways in which the score suggests divergent landscapes by drawing on earlier techniques in classical and film music traditions.
