A comprehensive, practical guide to composing video game music, from acquiring the necessary skills to finding work in the field.

Music in video games is often a sophisticated, complex composition that serves to engage the player, set the pace of play, and aid interactivity. Composers of video game music must master an array of specialized skills not taught in the conservatory, including the creation of linear loops, music chunks for horizontal resequencing, and compositional fragments for use within a generative framework. In A Composer's Guide to Game Music, Winifred Phillips--herself an award-winning composer of video game music--provides a comprehensive, practical guide that leads an aspiring video game composer from acquiring the necessary creative skills to understanding the function of music in games to finding work in the field.

Musicians and composers may be drawn to game music composition because the game industry is a multibillion-dollar, employment-generating economic powerhouse, but, Phillips writes, the most important qualification for a musician who wants to become a game music composer is a love of video games. Phillips offers detailed coverage of essential topics, including musicianship and composition experience; immersion; musical themes; music and game genres; workflow; working with a development team; linear music; interactive music, both rendered and generative; audio technology, from mixers and preamps to software; and running a business.

A Composer's Guide to Game Music offers indispensable guidance for musicians and composers who want to deploy their creativity in a dynamic and growing industry, protect their musical identities while working in a highly technical field, and create great music within the constraints of a new medium.

Simple and sexy
Size: 8.5, Color: White/Pat
I love the shoes. They were true to size, and no hang over in the front. I did a lot of walking with these shoes. Very comfortable throughout the night.

Good heels
Size: 11, Color: Pink/Pat, Size: 11, Color: Pink/Pat
Comfortable heels. I got the pink ones. I’m a 10.5 womens so I ordered the size 11 and it’s a tad too big so I might order a second pair in a 10 and see how they fit. One star taken off because there was glue on random parts of them but it came off easy. Also, the threads on the sole where they stitched it on are a bit loose but not a problem. Otherwise they are good quality heels.

Good purchase, no issues and made my feet look beautiful
Size: 8.5, Color: Black/Nubuck
I spent a year walking around S. Korea in heels and boots, spent many more in the beauty industry and my whole life running for sport so I have experience with my feet in shoes...these are golden for me. Ordered 8.5 and they fit well, not uncomfortable for long periods and adjustable for my smaller ankles. They were grippy and flexed well going into an incline while walking. My feet did not slide as I walked downhill so my toes stayed within the sandaled heel. I'm pretty light on my feet and these shoes were pleasantly light as well. What I liked the most is that they were packaged well in their own shoe bags. Would purchase again in other colors.
