Einfluss Technischer Mittel Auf Die Kompostionsmethoden Von Jeremy Soule
Einfluss technischer Mittel auf die Kom- positionsmethoden von Jeremy Soule Andrea Giffinger Institut für Musikwissenschaft, Innsbruck Zusammenfassung Im folgenden Text werden einige der Kompositionsmethoden Jeremy Soules exemplarisch herausge- hoben. Es sollen dabei die verschiedenen Parameter aufgezeigt werden, die den kreativen Prozess eines Komponisten beeinflussen. Darüber hinaus wird auch auf einige der Probleme, mit denen er aufgrund der ihm zur Verfügung stehenden technischen Mittel konfrontiert wurde, eingegangen, sowie deren Lösung gezeigt. Am Ende werden Forschungsfragen im Bezug auf die Elder Scrolls Reihe gestellt. 1 Einleitung Computerspiele wurden bereits in den 1970er kommerziell vermarktet, die akademische For- schung allerdings beschäftigte sich erst in den späten 1990er eingehender mit diesem Medien- phänomen. Seitdem haben sich verschiedenste Disziplinen, die gemeinsam das Forschungsfeld der Video Game Studies bilden, auf analytischer Ebene mit Computerspielen auseinandergesetzt (Süß, 2006). Um die Musik in Computerspielen zu untersuchen, werden nicht selten Methoden der Analyse von Filmmusik angewandt. Jedoch bergen diese Gefahren, da es sich, im Gegen- satz zum Film, um ein interaktives Medium handelt. Je nach Genre bestimmt der Spieler den Ablauf der Musik, wobei ihre Wirkung wiederum Auswirkungen auf den Ablauf des Spiels ha- ben kann. Gerade in der Spielreihe Elder Scrolls III-V, deren von Jeremy Soule komponierte Musik Gegenstand meiner Forschung ist, erhält diese durch die offene Spielwelt einen perfor- mativen Aspekt. Die spärlich vorhandene Literatur über Musik in Computerspielen, der Mangel an geeigneten Analyse Theorien und die Tatsache, dass sie immer präsenter in den Konzertsälen wird, ist Anreiz sich mit diesem Thema intensiv zu beschäftigen. 2 Umgang mit technischen Mitteln Soule komponiert seit 1995 Musik für Computerspiele (Dean, 2013) wie Secret of Evermo- re Total Annihilation, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, die Harry Potter Reihe, Guild VeröffentlichtPlatzhalter für durch DOI die und Gesellschaft ggf.

A Composers Guide to Game Music Pdf Free Download
A COMPOSERS GUIDE TO GAME MUSIC PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Winifred Phillips | 288 pages | 11 Aug 2017 | MIT Press Ltd | 9780262534499 | English | Cambridge, United States A Composers Guide to Game Music PDF Book The challenges unique to game composers are discussed at length. Video Games. Either we turn down the gig or set aside our emotions and listen for some musical element in that genre that tickles our interest. Music in video games is often a sophisticated, complex composition that serves to engage the player, set the pace of play, and aid interactivity. It really is intended for composers. Recommended: Ear Training Games. Each layer needs to have its moments to shine, but not at the expense of the others. Aspiring composers should have a burning desire to contribute their own ideas to the larger musical conversation. Phillips offers detailed coverage of essential topics, including musicianship and composition experience; immersion; musical themes; music and game genres; workflow; working with a development team; linear music; interactive music, both rendered and generative; audio technology, from mixers and preamps to software; and running a business. July 2, He also wangles in some light electronics for many of his compositions, so expect to hear something slightly different every time. This book offers guidance to composers who are interested in writing music for video games. But in a video game the length of each scene or level can vary greatly. Outside of the theories and techniques for creating this music, there is also a wealth of information on how to function within a development team and how to meet the expectations of the job.

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.

The Story of Final Fantasy VII and How Squaresoft
STS145 History of Computer Game Design, Final Paper, Winter 2001 Gek Siong Low Coming to America The making of Final Fantasy VII and how Squaresoft conquered the RPG market Gek Siong Low [email protected] Disclaimer: I have tried my best to find sources that are as reliable as possible (press releases, interviews in published magazines, etc) but many times I had to depend on third-party accounts of what happened. Some of these accounts conflict with one another, so I try to present as coherent an account of the history as I can here. I do not claim that everything in this paper is true. With that in mind, let us proceed on with the story… Introduction “[Final Fantasy VII is]…quite possibly the greatest game ever made.” -- GameFan magazine, quote on back of Final Fantasy VII CD case (Greatest Hits edition) The story of Squaresoft’s success in the US video games market appears at first glance to be like a fairy tale. Before Final Fantasy VII, console-based role-playing games (RPGs) were still a niche market, played only by a dedicated few who were willing to endure the long wait for the few games to cross the Pacific and onto American soil. Then came Final Fantasy VII in the September of 1997, wowing everybody with its amazing graphics, story and gameplay. The game single-handedly lifted console-based RPGs out of their little niche into the mainstream, selling millions of copies worldwide, and made Squaresoft a household name in video games. Final Fantasy VII CD cover art Today console-based RPGs are a major industry, with players spoilt-for- choice on which RPG to buy every Christmas.

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.

Ludo-Musicological Typologies: Examining New Ways of Classifying, Categorizing, and Organizing Music in Video Games: Annotated Bibliography Ludo-musicological Typologies: Examining new ways of classifying, categorizing, and organizing music in video games Annotated Bibliography Over the past thirty years, music in video games has grown increasingly complex and sophisticated, with many composers specializing in this medium. Composers from other mediums like film and television (Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, and Michael Giachinno most notably) have also begun writing for video games, in addition to their other projects. Today, video game music incorporates elements from a wide variety of musical styles and genres, and utilizes diverse compositional techniques, some unique to the medium. However, an examination of scholarly literature on the subject (ludomusicology) reveals that this diversity and variety is not always reflected in the ways that video game music is categorized, classified, and organized. I hope to use these sources, among others, to re-organize video game music and the composers thereof, to help musicians and scholars more easily understand the rich canon of music that has been written for this medium.

Game music weaves a complex melodic thread through the traditions, shared memories, values, and mythos of an entire international and intergenerational culture. WMGSO show- cases this music because it largely escapes recognition in professional circles.
