I believe that there are still people who believe that game music is something equal to just an effect incorporated into the game, something like a BGM. And therefore this is something that I would like to show that is not true.

More than just music, the splash of water or a lone footstep can put you in the moment. Sound is just another tool in the developer's toolbox to draw the player further into the game.

Most game music is based on loops effectively.

Surveys of thousands of gamers have shown that they're more likely to play real music if they play a music videogame. So it's an interesting relationship where the games aren't replacing something we do in real life, they're serving as a springboard to a goal we might have in real life, like learning to play an instrument.

It gives the listener a good workout, to listen to the music, the same as it does us to play it.

I don't know anyone who would be exclusively working on game music, per se.

So the thing is to put out music for music's sake.

Sports without music, it's nothing but a game. Music adds the emotion.

We hope that eventually there would be an occasion which I can personally prove that game music can in fact impress many different people and move them.

When we started there was this element of these experiments we were doing where we weren't really sure how the music would play out because the music was all on different players.
