Haven't posted in a while so here's a lovely pic of me and Sergio probably making a fun joke about a video game soundtrack

I bet you can hear Brian Tyler's score and his new arrangements of 100+ themes from every Nintendo game ever released though. (10/10)

“How was your birthday, Tom?”
“Amazing! I made a shitmix cocktail called the T-Virus and watched the two-hour English sub of Biohazard: The Stage, a dramatic musical retelling of Capcom’s best-selling survival horror franchise.”

(Happy birthday)
After moving to LA, Bershy was ready to quit the music industry. That was until her track Radio was featured in the game Dispatch. Here's a nice little story about the power of video games and music.

Last time I toured was over 10 years ago but we survived on merch sales and I know most bands rely on the same today. This was viable in the UK but near-impossible in Europe given average travel times quadruple.

Video game music but it's math (love the fact this is 4/4 but you've got all these bonkers polyrhythms going on)

Like Esquie, the album is flying high at No. 1 in the Classical Albums & Classical Crossover Albums charts, top 5 in the Soundtrack Albums, Vinyl Albums, Top Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales chart, and No. 29 in the Billboard 200 Chart!

As our backlogs grow and we struggle to keep up with everything that's out there, it means a lot of amazing game soundtracks can fly under the radar. Incredibly grateful to everyone who took part in this and shared some genuinely amazing words to big up their peers in a very noisy year.
Thank you to Andy and VGC for being a home for this every year. More than 50 game composers contributed to this, including @lena.fyi , @awintory.bsky.social , @jukio.bsky.social , @amosroddy.bsky.social , @teelopes.bsky.social and many more! I hope people discover some bangers from this.

I'm excited to reveal I'll be joining Nordic Game 2026 for a conversation with Laced Records Matt Ombler about my musical journey, creative process and scoring Warhammer Darktide. @lacedrecords.com @fatshark.se @matombler.bsky.social @nordicgame.com #warhammer #Darktide
It's an honour that Nintendo has chosen Laced as their partner to release The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild soundtrack on vinyl. This is the first time Nintendo has commercially released a game soundtrack in the West!
Long live Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Love live video game music!
Starting to see pics of the Silent Hill 2 vinyl land with customers. Hope everyone enjoyed the added extras we didn't mention like Mary's Letter and Photograph! A lot of time and care went into creating this and the team at Laced absolutely smashed it.
As far as emotional impact/saddest video game goes, I don’t think anything will ever top the ending for Life is Stange. That Foals Spanish Sahara sync is just fucking phenomenal.
Some amazing insight into Lorien's journey as a composer here.
God bless NTS
