summary
Video game music has changed significantly during its history since the first bleeps and bloops came out of the first computer loudspeakers. Whereas in the early years the music was often created by the programmers themselves, today’s video game scores are created by film music composers such as, for example, Danny Elfman (Fable, 2004) or Hans Zimmer (Modern Warfare 2, 2009) or by specialized game composers.
