Sound Play: Video Games and the Musical Imagination - Oxford Music / Media Series
Cheng, William (Postdoctoral fellow, Postdoctoral fellow, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA)
Video games open portals into fantastical worlds where imaginative play prevails. Sound Play explores the aesthetic, ethical, and sociopolitical stakes of people's engagements with audio phenomena in video games-from sonic violence to synthesized operas, from democratic musical performances to verbal sexual harassment.
