Video Game Description - Composer Notes

In this article share your description of the video game you are designging. Be sure to include the "who, what,where when & why" of your game. What are the objectives - how do you win, how do you lose, what are the conflicts and obstacles. Use very descriptive words in your article.

Composer Notes for Two Excerpts

In the 2nd & 3rd paragraphs of this blog, please describe the scene in the game when this music would be playing. Also describe each musical excerpt, talking about the musical choices that you made. How did you make the music fit what is happening in the game?

(For example: The music is triumphant because you hear it when you win the game. The instruments I chose for this excerpt were blah, blah & blah. The tempo is blah, and the style is blah . . . etc.)
