Beyond beep beep: Video game music goes to next level at Grammys

Attendees play Roller Champions by UbiSoft Entertainment at the Paris Games Week , a trade fair for video games in Paris, France on Oct 29, 2019.LOS ANGELES — Whether it is the catchy chime of a chip tune, the melodies of the metaverse or the latest trending Super Mario Bros remix — video game music is seemingly boundless.

The nominees are composers Austin Wintory for Aliens: Fireteam Elite, Stephanie Economou for Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarok, Bear McCreary for Call of Duty: Vanguard, Richard Jacques for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy and Christopher Tin for Old World. "It was only a matter of time before the Grammys recognised that there were a lot of soundtracks being produced for video games and they're all very good," Tin told Reuters.Tin's Baba Yetu theme for the game Civilisation IV won the Best Instrumental Arrangement Grammy in 2011, making him the first video game nominee and winner, while Wintory's soundtrack for the game Journey was nominated in the Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media in 2012.

Wintory said video games were not being nominated at all when the category they fell under was Best Score Soundtrack for Film, Television, and Other Media because being labelled "Other Media" was "marginalising" them as a sort of miscellaneous category.
