Intellect is pleased to share that *The Music of Nobuo Uematsu in the Final
Fantasy* *Series*
<https://www.intellectbooks.com/the-music-of-nobuo-uematsu-in-the-final-fantasy-series>
*,* edited by Richard Anatone, is available in e-book and hardback.
This is the first book-length study on the music of Nobuo Uematsu, one of
the most influential Japanese composers of the current age. It takes a
variety of different analytical approaches to his music. It offers readers
interested in ludomusicology a variety of ways in which to understand
Uematsu’s compositional process and the role that video game music has in
the overall gaming experience.
Those interested in Uematsu’s music will gain a greater appreciation and
understanding of his compositional processes and his interaction with
musical narrative, and those interested in ludomusicology in general will
be shown various methodologies that can be applied to a single composer.
Those interested in composing for video games or movies will also be given
insight into how they might compose for a narrative themselves.
