Why game music works on the radio

Game music is written to loop behind hours of play without getting in the way, which makes it good background for work and study as well as games. Radio for gaming and radio for focus go further.

Three eras of game music

Early game music was written for sound chips — the Nintendo Entertainment System's five channels and the Commodore 64's SID chip — and that tight, bright sound lives on as chiptune. Composers such as Koji Kondo (Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda) and Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy) wrote melodies that are now played by symphony orchestras. Modern games use full orchestral and electronic scores, and touring concerts of game music sell out concert halls, which is why a classical broadcaster like Klassik Radio runs a games channel.

A route in

For films instead of games, film soundtrack radio is next.
