Reviews
Advance praise: 'This outstanding book does much to establish an 'extended techniques' musicology, allying close analysis of music with crucial knowledge of gaming construction and procedures. Tim Summers' years of 'deep research' into the subject make this a book of extreme sophistication and erudition that will define the field for years to come.' K. J. Donnelly, University of Southampton

Synopsis
Music is central to the experience of interacting with video games. In this book, Tim Summers explores the functions of music in video games, offers new insights into well-loved game music and provides a wide array of new tools and concepts for its analysis., Understanding Video Game Music develops a musicology of video game music by providing methods and concepts for understanding music in this medium. From the practicalities of investigating the video game as a musical source to the critical perspectives on game music - using examples including Final Fantasy VII, Monkey Island 2, SSX Tricky and Silent Hill - these explorations not only illuminate aspects of game music, but also provide conceptual ideas valuable for future analysis. Music is not a redundant echo of other textual levels of the game, but central to the experience of interacting with video games. As the author likes to describe it, this book is about music for racing a rally car, music for evading zombies, music for dancing, music for solving puzzles, music for saving the Earth from aliens, music for managing a city, music for being a hero; in short, it is about music for playing.

- l***u (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseItem came exactly as describe. I really appreciate the time and caution the seller took to package this book. There was no way it could've received any water damage delivery because it was so well wrapped. The book came sooner than the expected date. At one point I even received a later date and that made me concerned because I thought it wouldn't come in time. But it did, very early as well. I recommend this seller 100% and would purchase from seller in the future if needed. Thank you so much!!
- a***s (395)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGood product; the seller responded quickly. Everything as described. I recommend this seller. I purchased the cv0 003 exam with simulation . And got it in a few hours! Thank you
- i***t (85)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExam question documents delivered as described. How useful they are, I will have to see- but the idea is that I can use the questions to investigate further and prompt studying of the area of knowledge, not spoon-feed myself. The Seller was quick and responsive.
