Reactional Music’s Post

👀 This is an intersting one. Gaming music (both in-game and inspired by the game) is a huge corner of culture - League of Legends’ Spotify artist channel has over 17m monthly listeners (that’s about a third of what Beyoncé gets). 📦Of course, it’s very Nintendo to pack its offering into a dedicated app rt launching and owning a channel on an established streamer. Keep it in-house. ⏰💃🏼Combined with the Alarm, this is another step towards offering branded ambience in people’s lifestyles (also think of Pikmin and Pokemon joining your walks, and Pokemon again tag-teaming your sleep habits). 🕹️I also saw A LOT of sound-centred gaming mechanics and gamified music creation experiences at #Gamescom2024. That‘s especially interesting for cosy gaming, where indie titles coming down the pipeline are gonna unlock another restorative creativity layer.

Video Games and Music have been on a convergent path for years. The pandemic accelerated this merger with the explosion of video game concerts. Check out my recently published article on the political economy of video game concerts! https://lnkd.in/gg3UJRHQ

Music + Gaming = As the gaming industry keeps pushing the boundaries of immersive experiences, music and sound design have become more important than ever. Music doesn't just play along with the visuals; it amps up the whole gaming vibe, creating atmospheres that transport players to new worlds. For “Dystopia"— I set dark guitars, a live ominous choir and industrial percussion against scenes of a world reminiscent of a few top-tier video games you may have played yourself. For added vibe, I added the sounds of distant gunfire, explosions, air sirens and soft rippling waves to set the tone and immerse the viewer into this apocalyptic world. 💥💣💥 (Oh yeah — sound design is an added service I provide to my clients when they want to elevate their productions a few notches up.) Knowing how to create sonic atmospheres can help elevate your story’s production. Let’s set the atmosphere for your next production together.

The music of a video game is as important -- sometimes more important -- than its visuals. From Koji Kondo to Darren Korb, the work done by composers and audio directors is essential to worldbuilding. But sometimes, the job requires a simple needle drop. Licensed music in video games could seem like an afterthought, but it's an artform in itself. For Rolling Stone, I ranked the greatest use of licensed music in video game soundtracks.
