Music in Video Games (BB Video)

Boing Boing Video archives: http://www.boingboing.net/boing-boing-video/
This Boing Boing Video episode is a conversation with Peter Kirn of Create Digital Music and Matt Ganucheau of Expression College about music in games: new tools, new forms of composition, and new ways of thinking about the role music and sound play in the gaming experience. We conducted this interview during Boing Boing/offworld's marathon live coverage of GDC, and this video clip -- part one of a two-part conversation -- includes the work of Ganucheau's students in a class about composing music for videogames. One of the works we show is from a young student named Jason Bowers. Here are more details on working with Space Invaders as a teaching tool for interactive music. And here is Max/MSP, the music software used.

As a musician, and a game lover, I must say that this concept is something with tons of potential that isn't used nearly enough in design - game-based or otherwise!
