Description

Music is frequently used to characterise specific contexts during the Gameplay. These contexts may be regions in the scenario, levels, categories of circumstances, etc.

A particular type of contextual variations on Music that we are addressing separately is the change according to the current of involvement in the game's conflict. Those explorations are integrated in the explorations of Relaxation, Anticipation, Engagement and Decay.

Contextual Music may come from the game world itself (Diegetic Music) although that is not the most frequent case.
