John Cage's Xbox -- great article on game music

[slownerveaction]

Came across this article this morning:

http://pitchforkmedia.com/features/weekly/05-06-06-john-cages-xbox.shtml

It mostly talks about the evolution of game music, and concentrates on interactive, dynamic music and its unique place in games -- an unusual angle for a non-game-oriented source. It's a very smart, well-written, insightful article. I enjoyed it.

For those not in the know, Pitchfork is a slightly snobby indie music site. They've gotten pretty big in the past couple years.

Now here I was all excited that 4'33" was going to be on the EA Trax list for the new Burnout :-)

Heh.

Neat article there. I tend to stay away from Pitchfork anymore. They give me a headache. So thanks for pointing that one out. :)
