Well, game music is still a niche, and this is a fact, even though BBC broadcasts an audition on games from time to time, licenced soundtracks for FIFA series work like a radio making many artists famous, and game composers perform with orchestra in fancy venues, like Royal Albert Hall in London delivering game music as a brand new experience for players. Critics focus on the visual side, emotions and storytelling because they feel comfortable with it and these topics drive the fans the most as well.

How to turn your passion for video game music into a career?Īlso, looking practically, in most cases video game critics are not too familiar with music theory – with its structure, variety of instruments or musical references, so aren’t the fans. But the performance would be incomplete and get blank stares without him. The image would definitely be a lead singer, while the music would be a band member standing out of the spotlight who only draws attention during some special moments, like guitar solos. I’d say that the nature of both image and music when together, sets their place in our heads in a similar way to how a music band is located on stage. However, what makes an image much more emotional is the sound, especially when you can control the image, the sound increases a feeling that a story concerns you personally. Usually, music is much more elusive and subliminal than a picture. All in all the culture is using our most primal instincts, like simple cave paintings made by our ancestors used to rely on human instincts thousands years ago.
We live in a visually-oriented culture because an image is the fastest and easiest diver of information. For most video game players music is just an addition to gameplay.
