This blog is about video games, music, and my frolicking between the two.
I'm an Australian gamer and I'm studying a PhD in ludomusicology (the
study of video game music). This basically means that in a couple of
years I'll have written around 80,000 stiff-yet-precise academic words
about music, and that I'll have spent many, many hours of playing games
to get there. It's a tough life.
My thesis will (probably) focus on the role music plays in helping
players understand the gameplay space. This blog will focus on very
little and should be a lot more fun to write. All the visceral and
emotional and ridiculous things that don't translate well into academese
will go here, along with my general thoughts about the non-musical
stuff of games.
