The Ludomusicology Research Group is an inter-university research organisation focusing on the study of music in games, music games and music in video game culture, composed of four researchers: Michiel Kamp, Tim Summers, Melanie Fritsch, and Mark Sweeney. Together they organise an annual international conference held in the UK or Europe (at the time of writing, the most recent was the Ludo2017 conference held at Bath Spa University). The group was founded by Kamp, Summers and Sweeney in August 2011, who have also edited a collection of essays based around the study of game sound entitled "Ludomusicology: Approaches to Video Game Music", published in July 2016. They also edited a double special issue of "The Soundtrack" and initiated a new book series for the "Study in Game Sound and Music" in 2017. In September 2016, Tim Summers' book 'Understanding Video Game Music' was published by Cambridge University Press.
