Scoring for Games

Game music poses unique challenges that differ fundamentally from film scoring. Unlike linear media, games require music that adapts dynamically to the player’s choices and actions. Understanding how to write modular, interactive music has become one of the most sought‑after skills for composers entering the rapidly growing game industry.

This module explores the creative and technical aspects of game scoring, including adaptive composition and the use of middleware to implement music in real time. By mastering these approaches, composers become equipped to work on one of the most innovative and in‑demand areas of media composition today.
