Winifred Phillips, famous for her work as a game music composer and for her MIT Press book, A Composer's Guide to Game Music (purchase on Amazon here: http://amzn.com/0262026643), discusses the relationship between game music composition and video game immersion in this video excerpt from her lecture at the Montreal International Game Summit, entitled "Music, the Brain, and the Three Levels of Immersion."
MIGS was founded in 2004 to meet the needs of the video game sector, which currently represents close to 9,000 workers in Quebec. Ten years later, its mission remains: developing the transfer of knowledge and expertise, increasing exposure for Quebec players abroad and promoting exchanges and communications between stakeholders, making MIGS the East Coast’s leading professional-only event for the games industry.
More about Phillips's talk at the Montreal International Game Summit --
Music has the power to deepen player immersion through psychological effects documented in scientific research. This talk explored the influence of music on the brain, and how these effects can aid game designers in meeting the criteria necessary for the “Three Levels of Immersion.”

Phillips is the author of the bestselling book, A COMPOSER'S GUIDE TO GAME MUSIC (The MIT Press, 2014), which was described by The Boston Globe as “the first book designed to help experienced musicians brave the transition to the world of game composing," and was hailed by Sound on Sound magazine as "partly educational and partly inspirational… a great introduction to this specialist art." Music Connection Magazine added that "Phillips' hands-on insights and advice make this one a keeper," and Film Score Monthly praised the book as "a touchstone academic achievement."
