Associate Professor of Music Jennifer Jolley recently shared her thoughts about video game music as a guest on “Marco Meatball,” a series hosted by opera-singer-turned-YouTuber Marco Cammarota. The show explores the genre’s sophistication and artistry through close listening sessions, often combined with in-depth interviews of musicians, performers, scholars, and composers.
Their conversation ranged from the deeply technical to the deeply personal, touching on composition, music history, listening, teaching, and the influence of identity and experience on how we listen, respond to, and create music.
