Talk: Music & Emotion

The Talk on the Festival’s Theme – Music & Emotion!

Fitting with this year’s festival theme, this talk focuses on how music in games affects players’ emotions. One angle we’ll explore is the development process: What are the intentions behind creating sounds for games? What role do emotions play in sound design? The discussion will also look beyond the world of gaming: What effect does music actually have on people, and how do people connect through music and sound? What happens to people when they sing together and create sounds?

Mathilde Hoffmann, Arne Bischoff and Quirin Nebas will discuss these questions and much more. The talk will be moderated by Christina Kutscher.
