“…The impact and benefits of PMG are similar to those of visual/mechanical PCG, allowing game developers to computationally generate, perform or transform music in real-time in video games [44], [69]. With a notably small data allowance for audio in games [38], [55], [67], and the increasing need for variation [44], [70] and interactivity [43], [55], there is justification for the adoption of PMG in the video game industry.…”

Artificially intelligent music technology (AIMT) is a promising field with great potential for creating innovation in music. However, the considerations and concerns surrounding AIgenerated music from the perspective of professional video game composers have yet to be fully explored. In this study, 11 professional video game composers were interviewed to determine how they feel about AIMT and how this informs future research and tool design within the games industry. The interviews were analyzed using a reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) to identify key themes. The study found that while composers recognize the benefits of music AI, they have complex concerns beyond the obvious concerns for AI infringing on their agency and creativity. There is an inherent clash between the creative ego and music AI, which can make it difficult for composers to embrace this technology. Furthermore, a lack of standard technical knowledge, support, understanding, and trust of music AI is impeding tool use within the industry. These findings have implications for music AI researchers and industry practitioners. By better understanding the concerns and considerations of professional creatives, researchers can design and communicate their tools more effectively to music professionals. Moreover, this study lays the foundation for empirical research into the relationship between professional creatives and emerging AI technology -a topic that is under-emphasised in current research.

“…Ya hemos explicado el concepto básico de adaptabilidad anteriormente. Si bien solo es mencionado en fuentes sobre música para videojuegos (Sweet, 2015;Marks, 2009), es interesante retomarlo para aplicarlo nuevamente al resto de los factores que conforman un videojuego. Hacemos la salvedad de que, al hablar sobre game design, la adaptabilidad del medio se presupone, ya que para cumplir con su aspecto básico de videojuego debe ser interactivo y responsivo (Agosta, 2018).…”

La generación de un vocabulario específico para el análisis de los videojuegos y el game design es una dificultad de la que tampoco escapa el análisis de la relación imagen-música dentro de ellos. Los conceptos extraídos del cine, del diseño gráfico, o de otros medios lineales serían insuficientes para afrontar esto; la interactividad y no linealidad del medio son tanto su principal dificultad metodológica como sus características distintivas. En este artículo intentaremos vincular la imagen y música y sus maneras de comunicarse entre sí y con el jugador, desde la jugabilidad misma.

“…Game sound is the focus of growing academic interest, inspiring studies which encompass multidisciplinary perspectives on the player and the role of sound and music on the game play experience. However, the focus of the majority of text books in the area is on the wide and varied practical aspects of games audio and sound design, exploring factors such as sound creation, integration, field recording, sound processing, music composition techniques, hardware issues and dialogue systems (Childs 2007; Stevens and Raybould 2011; Marks 2013). Fewer authors have emphasised theoretical approaches to studying game sound, with notable exceptions which encompass a mixture of theory and the practical (Grimshaw 2013) and those who focus purely on the theory (Jorgensen 2009).…”
