The Joystiq Show - 006: Musical Players

By Jonathan Downin

Music has been a key component of games for a long time. It can spur nostalgia and range of emotions like little else is able.

This week, Richard talks with a few of the people behind game music, from composers to proponents. Games provide a canvas for all types of music, and we cover the gamut on a journey from classical to trip-hop.
