The Development Of Video Game Music
The gestation of the video game music library is extensive and peculiar. To the uninitiated, the chip tunes of the 80s and early 90s video game were ear-bleeding nonsense. But with these limited resources, the skilled composers of the more significant titles often came up with quite catchy melodies. Households internationally are haunted by the echoes of Dreams Come True's Sonic the Hedgehog soundtracks, and decades on, parents who have never even touched a joypad can recognise such tunes. Many enthusiasts now strive to emulate this sound and in an impressive array of retro-styled games, the grating electronic sound of the early consoles is alive and well. Remakes of legacy titles often make a point of revisiting earlier sounds. Climatic themes in Final Fantasy IV and V contain feature samples of the songs they were based on before bringing out the full digital sound of the rest of the title's music.
The noughties are widely recognised as the point at which proper audio fidelity was achieved in games, but the nineties featured many notable landmarks. The home computer, always one step ahead of the curve, was creating sophisticated tracks well before the consoles, which were limited for a long time to instruments in their MIDI tables. Dynamic music in Lucasarts titles like 'Monkey Island 2' was a particularly bold endeavour. As the player moved from scene to scene, the instruments would neatly segue into the relevant theme. In music composed for games in the later 90s, the techniques of electronica production musicwere common. Notable examples of this kind of music being widely used were found in the Unreal engine titles 'Unreal' and 'Deus Ex': total sound fidelity was finally a reality.
This period also saw the video game musician becoming more experimental and sophisticated. Relic Entertainment's debut title 'Homeworld' was particularly renowned for its 'Industrial Arabic' soundtrack, which went a long way to imbuing the cold polygons with the backstory of a desert-bound race attempting to find its planetary home. 'Homeworld' was also somewhat innovative for using both a choir ('Agnus Dei', 'Adagio for Strings' in vocal form) and a guest artist (Yes) on the soundtrack. In just ten years, the audio capabilities of these machines had grown enormously. There was a time when you had to choose between having the music and the sound effects.
