Description
A Composer's Guide to Game Music by Winifred Phillips is a comprehensive guide for musicians and composers looking to create video game music. To succeed in this field, it's essential to master specialized skills not typically taught in conservatories, such as creating linear loops and compositional fragments for use within generative frameworks. Phillips, an award-winning composer herself, provides detailed coverage of topics including musicianship, composition experience, immersion, musical themes, workflow, and audio technology. She also offers guidance on working with development teams, running a business, and protecting one's musical identity in a highly technical field. This book is ideal for those who want to deploy their creativity in the dynamic game music industry while navigating its unique challenges.
