LA COMPOSICIÓN PARA VIDEOJUEGOS EN ESPAÑA: UN CAMPO PARA LOS CONSERVATORIOS DEL FUTURO.

Abstract

Spain is one of the European countries with a real tradition in the development of video games since the eighties. Composition for videogames in Spain is a field in which there were many pioneering musicians who nowadays enjoy the respect of the internet scene, whose work is gradually beginning to be the subject of research by the incipient specialized musicology. On the other hand, the formation given in our higher conservatories still doesn’t take into account composition for video games as a field of study, despite the fact that there are musicians in our country who already work exclusively in such field. This article aims to relate the profile of a series of composers whom we have been able to interview with the musical training that’s now possible in Spanish public educational centers, as a reflect on the importance that this field might have in the future for music students.
