This weekend, RetroNuts.

Rest the old order and create a new society!

Yeah!

Ha ha ha!

I achieved a personal milestone this past week.

I received a copy of a video game soundtrack released to which I personally contributed.

Not as a musician, mind because the only musical ability I ever possessed evaporated a few years

ago when my voice began to shrivel up with age and lose all its range.

No, I wrote liner notes for a vinyl compilation of Zoon Tata soundtracks for Shiptoshor

Foto.

It's not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things, it's not like a release this

niche focused is precisely going to be a million seller and other people write album

liner notes all the time.

But it's a big deal for me personally because music has always been an important focus

of my work as a member of the games press.

Ah, maybe not so much in the past few years, but back when gaming websites actually had

budget to spend on such things, I always prioritized tracking down and interviewing game composers,

especially Japanese game composers.

Some of my favorite interviews over the years have been with composers in fact from Hidinori

Meizawa to Hipponaka to Hirano Osaka Guchi.

I love music, I love games, I love game music, and I love talking to the people who make

music for games.
