Some of you may be interested in this, possibly..., at 5:00pm, on Radio 3, yes, Radio 3, a programme re videogame music:-

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b0wrpd

"Bleep... bleep.... bleeeeep

It's amazing how a few electronic bleeps can tell us so much about what's going on in a video game without us even being aware of it

But music in video games has come a long way from the arcades, from the bleeps and bloops of Space Invaders and Super Mario to epic orchestral scores of the Legend of Zelda and Bioshock, Tom Service goes on an interactive odyssey to discover the secrets behind our favourite video game music. Along the way he meets composer Jessica Curry and video game expert Tim Summers who tell us what's really happening in the music when we're playing, the composer tricks of the trade and how video games can get new audiences closer to classical music.

bleeeeeeep... GAME OVER."

That's one of the most banal sentences I've ever read.

I listened to it.

I can't think of anything to say about it, though.

Was/ Is it worth listening to?

Amusement under late capitalism is the prolongation of work.

It's aimed at an audience that don't know a lot about video games, but it's a nice little chat and listen if you can bear that. It's really just a little chat about how and why video games have music, though.
