ResearchWorks :The Game Music Toolbox

Marios Aristopoulos's new book The Game Music Toolbox (published by Routledge) explores a range of composition techniques behind the music of iconic video games of the past. In this presentation he will discuss some of the interactive music techniques behind Mario Kart 8, Alien Isolation, Tomb Raider, Cyberpunk 2077, and The Last of Us.
