Royal Music Association Music and Philosophy Study Group Conference
\nKings College, London
\n13th \u2013 14th July 2017<\/p>\n
Music in Video Games Panel
\nConveners: William Gibbons and Derek Matravers<\/p>\n
There has been great deal of interest in the past few years within musicology and music theory in the contribution of music to the experience of playing video games. The topic has been relatively neglected in philosophy, although it is related to several extant discussions concerning other media. We would like to invite papers from any discipline which reflect on this topic, thus contributing to developing a philosophical take on the role of music in video games.<\/p>\n
Topics of interest might include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n
\u2022 The contribution of music to the experience of playing video games.
\n\u2022 The relation between the music and other aspects of the video game, in particular the game\u2019s narrative content
\n\u2022 The contribution of music to the nature of video games and their status as art
\n\u2022 The ontological status of video game music between real and virtual worlds
\n\u2022 The role of games in (re)defining the musical act
\n\u2022 Video games and the idea of musical play
\nProposals of no longer than 300 words should be submitted to Derek Matravers (derek.matravers@open.ac.uk) with the subject heading \u201cMPSG Themed Session\u201d by 15th October 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
