I've been published.

The IGDA (International Game Developers Association), published an article of mine on Sound Design:

My aim was to give a perspective to people at how important sound is in games, and how little it is recognized.

Enjoy.

Nice read, although there hasn't been anything new for me in it. Maybe it would have been more interesting to me if it had just a few more personal experiences and anecdotes.

Interesting article.  I always find myself listening to background music (TV, movies, etc. -- not much of a game player anymore, but years ago would play Doom for hours at a stretch), but obviously it's not conscious for most people.

I sometimes listen to Cinemagic on XM radio.  Frankly, many movie soundtracks simply don't sound that impressive without the visual, so it's interesting to see how they complement each other.  On the other hand, in some movies the music is just spectacular --  I heard some of the Magnificent Seven for the first time in a long time the other day and had forgotten how good that was.

Anyway, thanks for the article.  Glad to see you're doing well in the music\sound business.
