This book offers a rich exploration of the intersections between animation, video games, and music and sound, bringing together a range of multidisciplinary lenses. In fourteen chapters, the contributors consider similarities and differences in how music and sound structure video games and animation, as well as the animation within video games, and explore core topics of nostalgia, adaptation, gender and sexuality. Offering fresh insights into the aesthetic interplay of animation, video games, and sound, this volume provides a gateway into new areas of study that will be of interest to scholars and students across musicology, animation studies, game studies, and media studies more broadly"--Lisa Scoggin holds a PhD in musicology from Boston University, USA, and specialises in music in American animation. Dana Plank is Adjunct Lecturer in music history for the Hartt School, University of Hartford, and The Ohio State University, USA.Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 01, 2023).
