This thesis is intended to explore the development of video game music as a distinct musical genre. First, readers will find a basic summary of this document's content. Second, this paper will discuss the historical transformation of video game sound from its earlier years through an era, as proposed by the author, when game music became its own genre. Ultimately, the purpose of this thesis is to document the significant events, composers, companies, and music in the gaming industry as relevant to the genre of video game music during the author's proposed time period in which video game music truly established its own identity through its influential musical genres, technologically limited orchestration, and inspired compositional practices. The research shown in this thesis focuses on the development of video game music as a genre between the years 1985 and 1995. After the video game industry entered the home market, a decline in business resulted in its major economic collapse. Lessons learned from this resulted in greater business intelligence to rejuvenate the home gaming economy and artistry. This resulting artistic sophistication was aided by a new multifaceted philosophy in video game music creation. The previous market crash, and the technological limitations in the advancing analog gaming technologies of the time influenced the composition of the video game music between 1985 and 1995. Therefore, during the process of writing this document I have provided evidence to support an argument that the most significant developmental period for this genre was between these years. Today, the video game music genre thrives in a varied state of existence. This is seen through education, composition, concert performances, and of course, video games themselves. Different age groups and various cultures of video game patrons attest to the success and cultural significance of the video game music genre. This all is possible because the industry regained momentum after almost disappearing forever in 1983. Thanks to its currently growing and diversifying audience, the varied genre of video game music continues to technologically and compositionally advance while still reflecting back to its influences.

An examination of young people's everyday new media practices—including video-game playing, text-messaging, digital media production, and social media use. Conventional wisdom about young people's use of digital technology often equates generational identity with technology identity: today's teens seem constantly plugged in to video games, social networking sites, and text messaging. Yet there is little actual research that investigates the intricate dynamics of youths' social and recreational use of digital media. Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out fills this gap, reporting on an ambitious three-year ethnographic investigation into how young people are living and learning with new media in varied settings—at home, in after-school programs, and in online spaces. Integrating twenty-three case studies—which include Harry Potter podcasting, video-game playing, music sharing, and online romantic breakups—in a unique collaborative authorship style, Hanging Out, Messing Around, and Geeking Out is distinctive for its combination of in-depth description of specific group dynamics with conceptual analysis.
The Anthropology of Music

ISBN | : |
This book was written in the belief that while music is a system of sounds, an assumption that provides the point of departure for most studies of music in culture, it is also a complex of behavior which resonates throughout the whole cultural organism--social organization, esthetic activity, economics, religion. This book is to be distinguished from other studies by its model of music as human action, making this work of interest not only to the ethnomusicologist and anthropologist, but also to those concerned with the nature of music, the nature of man, and the nature of music in human culture. Specifically, this model for the study of ethnomusicology is equally applicable to the study of visual arts, dance, folklore, and literature. --Adapted from dust jacket.
