The London Soundtrack festival, running from March 19 to 26, celebrates the evolution of music from video games alongside film and TV. Tommy Pearson, the festival's artistic director, emphasizes that video game music deserves recognition for its creativity and artistry, paralleling traditional soundtracks. Highlighted events include performances by the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and masterclasses from notable composers. With a significant spike in music streams and social media engagement, the festival aims to showcase the artistic value of video game music.
It's been fascinating to see so many composers blossom in the genre. Including games music was a no-brainer. It absolutely has to be there alongside film and TV music.
We're seeing millions of streams of game soundtracks, daily. There's a huge amount of social media content on Instagram and TikTok that ties into it.
