The games market is huge there is no doubt about that and year on year it is on the rise so look out CD and DVD sales. Music in video games was just thrown in to make the game sound cool when you are playing it but now it takes just as long to make the soundtrack as an artist takes to record an album if not longer. Why does this seem to be happening?
How about the film Star Wars, would that be such a great film without the soundtrack that comes with it? Of course Star Wars would certainly still have turned out to be a great film but it really is the soundtrack that makes that story a lot clearer. This is what is being picked up by the big game developers and music is being given more time, more thought and most importantly, a bigger budget.
Think of a game like Halo, the ambient is always there but when you hit a moment of importance the music is unleashed and it really helps to tell the overall story. This is exactly what happens in the film industry.
Another important thing to take into consideration is the amount of artists that want to work with games nowadays, instruments that wouldn’t work in a film work perfectly in a game, takebanjos as an example for the much loved Banjo Kazooie franchise.
Albums of the game soundtracks are being released and even better they are being purchased and the soundtracks are made from all kinds of instruments fromelectro acoustic guitars to the simpleelectric guitars.
All in all it would seem that music within a computer game is becoming very important indeed.
