Abstract

Video games often require a large variety of musical styles to match the content of the game, but blending them together is not always simple. This paper analyzes the score of Rayman Origins by Christophe Héral to find what techniques he used to bring cohesion to his eclectic music. Direct study of the music with a focus on instrumentation and orchestration was used as the basis of the analysis, with some outside research done to identify specific traits of various instruments and genres.
