I don't believe the community has an outlet for a thing like this, but I did notice we had some avid gamers on this site. I love music and I’m a huge fan of most score composers and video game music. I listen to just about every genre, and love music in general. I’m always searching for new sounds and new talent to add to my collection. What I want to do with this thread is allow people to post and plug away some unique gems of talent they may have stumbled across. If we could establish some form of format for the posts would be great. Something like the one below:
Name of Band/Artist: Riley Marengo
Type of Sound: Video Game Chip-Tunes
Sounds Like: The Music Scores to Golden Sun, Old Final Fantasy Titles, Castlevania Titles, Phantasy Star Titles, ChronoTrigger, and Epic Adventure games on old systems.
Where to Listen: SoundCloudWhere to Buy/Download:
SoundCloudI figure this is a good way to share community tastes in music and get some publicity for those smaller groups. For the guy listed above, I strongly believe he needs a position with either a major handheld platform or rising mobile gaming company. His Chip-Tunes are great and they bring me back to some of the classic greats.
I look forward to what others in the community have to share.
