Ask any fan of video games and they'll likely agree that one of the most memorable aspects of any game is the music. Sure, the action, adventure, and constant fun was likely important, but it was the music that soundtracked the visuals, providing an immersive experience like no other. As the video game industry has evolved into one of the biggest in the world, so too has the music grown alongside it. Likewise, the technology used and the fields in which musicians can get involved within the industry have also expanded exponentially as time as gone on. As such, we've decided to take a look at some of the conferences out in the world that focus on music gaming. While some might be dedicated solely to music gaming, others might feature it within their offerings, but whatever the case, these are the events to attend to gain greater insight in regards to how the two worlds meet.
