Game Music = the new classical music? | Berkleemusic Blog Network

By Jeanine Cowen:

I am very passionate about the orchestral tradition and the fate of the modern orchestra. My choice to live in Boston was indeed influenced by the presence of not only the BSO but so many other fine orchestras and performing groups supported in our fine city. Many people I meet are surprised to hear me speak about my background as a classical musician and then to find that I work in video games, but for me, it is the perfect combination. In fact, some of the scores for games coming out today are simply amazing.

“I will participate in the demonstrations tomorrow. Maybe they will turn violent. Maybe I will be one of the people who is going to get killed. I’m listening to all my favorite music. I even want to dance to a few songs. I always wanted to have very narrow eyebrows. Yes, maybe I will go to the salon before I go tomorrow! There are a few great movie scenes that I also have to see.

I wrote these random sentences for the next generation so they know we were not just emotional and under peer pressure. So they know that we did everything we could to create a better future for them. So they know that our ancestors surrendered to Arabs and Mongols but did not surrender to despotism. This note is dedicated to tomorrow’s children…”
