Game Sound Conference 2020 Presentation
(Conference was entirely online due to COVID-19 pandemic)
This talk presents an analysis of dynamic notification sound effects used in video games during the 8-bit era (1985-95). The analysis evaluates each sound's use of synthesis and music theory, situating these techniques within an acoustic, psychoacoustic, and--most especially--semiotic framework.
