GSAS 2560 - Game Sound and Musical Play


What makes play musical and music playful? How does game sound and music contribute to gameworld creation, gameplay, and virtual performance? Ludomusicology—the relation of music to play—addresses these questions and challenges us to take play seriously. This course considers the diverse relationships among music, play, media, and performance, including game sound, music-stylistic features of game consoles and systems, children’s games, remixing and sampling, the role musical games play in cultural identity, and more.
