Game-theoretic Songs

In this joint project with Elisa Pezzuto (Conservatorio S. Cecilia, Rome), we explore game theory as a topic for music and vice versa. The project has yielded two key outcomes, on the one hand one record featuring nine songs, each inspired by a well-known game theory concept as well as, on the other, a book that delves into the relationship between game theory and music.

Below the nine tracks with the text, where for each one, the footnotes shortly explain the underlying key game theory concepts.

Track 1: Min Max

Track 2: the Core of the Game

Track 3: Bargaining Game

Track 4: Nash Equilibrium

Track 5: Perfectly Credible

Track 6: Repeated Game

Track 7: Evolutionary Game

Track 8: Bayesian Game

Track 9: Signalling Game
