"The last half-decade has seen the rapid and expansive development of video game music
studies. As with any new area of study, this significant sub-discipline is still tackling
fundamental questions concerning how video game music should be approached. In this
volume, experts in game music provide their responses to these issues. This book suggests
a variety of new approaches to the study of game music. In the course of developing
ways of conceptualizing and analyzing game music it explicitly considers other critical
issues including the distinction between game play and music play, how notions of
diegesis are complicated by video game interactivity, the importance of cinema aesthetics
in game music, the technicalities of game music production and the relationships between
game music and art music traditions. This collection is accessible, yet theoretically
substantial and complex. It draws upon a diverse array of perspectives and presents
new research which will have a significant impact upon the way that game music is
studied. The volume represents a major development in game musicology and will be
indispensable for both academic researchers and students of game music"--The publisher
