Ignorant Scene (Jay-Z vs. Chrono Trigger Mashup)

Hello everyone! I’m Scrub Club Records artist 2 Mello and I just wanted to tease my newest project, a full album combining Jay-Z lyrics with Chrono Trigger-sampling hip-hop beats. Here is the first single, a mix of Jay-Z’s “Ignorant Shit” with Chrono Trigger’s “Wind Scene”, on Soundcloud. Thanks for the listen!

Matthew Herbert Creates Experimental Music for iPhone Game

The British electronic producer and sound artist Matthew Herbert has created an experimental interactive soundtrack for the iPhone game PENTAPUZZLE, which is now globally available from the App Store for use on iPhone and iPod touch.

The game features a unique integration of music and gameplay. Placing and removing puzzle pieces adds and takes away various layers in the music making PENTAPUZZLE, a musical puzzle as well as an actual puzzle. Additional sounds have been hidden in the game and once found will allow the player to perform a jam session in addition to the main score.

PENTAPUZZLE is available for free from the App Store and users are encouraged to play the game using a stereo headset to enjoy the full audio experience.

Title: SNEStale (Preschtale, Parts 2-4-5)
Track: 05
Composer: Dmitry Zhemkov (C-Jeff)
Arranger: Shannon Mason (Pongball)

The album from which this track comes from is “Preschtale Variations”, which is an arranged album of the music of C-jeff’s “Preschtale,” a catchy album that was released last year. “Preschtale Variations” is real treat for those who enjoyed the original, and deserves attention for it’s unique and amazing arrangements…

Today, I present you with Pongball’s contribution to the album; an astonishing track that pours an emotional feast as to tug at the heart strings of listeners. Myself? I get a sense of mystery and lonely melancholy—especially during introduction of the accordion(?)/harmonica(?). Wonderful, wonderful track. Bravo Shannon.

I wonder, what emotional response do you have from listening to this track?

Video Game Music Survey(s) »

Howdy everyone,

I wrote up a quick, general survey asking some questions about Video Game Music, and I would love to have you beautiful people take part in the survey. Pretty much what I’m asking is:

What makes Video Game Music Unique?
and
Can you spot it out from a group of music?

I gave one or two examples in the question help section underneath the main questions as to show possible ways to go about answering it, but please don’t let it limit your responses to follow that frame of thought…let it it be a starting point. So in other words…even if both questions are general, you don’t have to let your answers be! :)

Thank you for your time for reading, especially if you do take part in the survey. I’m not collecting personal information either, so it’s a straight forward form submit without the strings. Also, depending on the success of this survey, there may be additional surveys in the future that link together. Thanks again…

Note: It would be a great help if you could spread this survey around via reblog for those on Tumblr. You’re kindness and help is always appreciated…thank you.

An Original Electronic/Orchestral Video Game Soundtrack

http://axlstatus.bandcamp.com/

My first video game OST, which I’ve been working on for the past few months. It’s a full-length mix of house, ambient, orchestral, and avant-garde music that draws heavily from works such as Chrono Trigger, Nier, and EarthBound.

Give it a listen if it sounds like your kind of thing!
