Ludomusicology is basically the study of how music is used in video games.
When you play video games, there are often different types of music playing in the background to match the mood of the game. For example, if the game is supposed to be scary, the music might be spooky and make you feel creeped out.
Ludomusicologists study things like how the music affects us when we play games, how it makes us feel, and how it can enhance our gaming experience. They also look at the different types of music used in games, like orchestral or electronic music, and how it’s chosen and created.
They also study how video game music is similar or different from music used in other types of media, like movies or TV shows.
Overall, they want to help us understand how music impacts our experience of playing video games and how it can be used to make games even more fun and engaging!
