During the narration of the beautiful arts, we understand that one can depend on the other in any kind of situation. We possess that dance is dependent on song to accomplish choreography, while we nevertheless possess literature being a huge predominance for the work of lyrics in songs. And in this situation we mix song with video games.
Let's talk about how electronic music has merged seamlessly with video games.
Such is the situation of Panic! At The Disco with the Batman: Arkham City videogame with the tune "Mercenary", which has been produced especially for this console game. Or in cases a bit more ambitious where most of the soundtrack is elaborated by a single band or artist, as has been the situation with David Bowie for the cult game Omikron (1966).
Electronics makes a difference
That is to say that since studies involved with the effects that the electronic song has on the brain, it gives positive stimuli.
Exemplifying listening to electronic melody can improve the Theta and Beta waves. Beta waves are those frequencies that remain present in our daily activity, especially once we lack sleep and are in a state of alertness. Theta waves, meanwhile, put us in touch with memories hidden in our mind, such as distant or forgotten memories.
That is why the electronic song was a monumental ally in the preparation of video games at all times.
8 beats
And if you consider the melody that set the mood for Pac Man and every move he made was any kind of Techno quite vital. This is how this song began to be marketed to the masses. And in those 8 beat games there is also the classic Super Mario Bros that also managed that penetrating and award-winning sound beat that went to the rhythm of each Mario's scroll. Even once you become Super Mario.
Giorgio Moroder, Deadmau5, Chemical Brothers
Video game that was under the supervision of Disney Interactive Studios, the same production company that resorted to one of the pioneers in the electronic melody Giorgio Moroder. Where he made the soundtrack, giving the players a sense of speed linked to the video game. Altering in this way their senses and releasing that explosion of adrenaline when playing.
At the same time, it's no secret that DJ and producer Deadmau5 has a love for racing cars and that's how he has been able to bring his 2 passions into one. Melody + Cars = Project Cars. This video game is a formula 1 racing game, but what sets this game apart from the others is its soundtrack. And is that each of the songs in the game run at the helm of Deadmau5. Each of the songs are original and unique remixes that were exclusive to Project Cars.
Nevertheless there are hundreds and a huge amount of songs that are placed in video games.
Or even video games that simply could not function without the song. Need For Speed is intrinsically linked to the electronic song within the game and it is not for less. The video game has songs in its catalog such as: Avicii, Major Lazer, Chemical Brothers, just to name a few.
