I just wanted to give one final shoutout to the latest VGM Quest installment: Minecraft. It's become clear that YouTube never gave this video a chance and I just wanted to make sure any interested subscribers knows this exists!

If it's your first time seeing this video, I truly hope you enjoy. This is by far my proudest work with VGM Quest so far... And I truly believe there's nothing quite like the music I break down in this video 🎵

No game soundtrack has affected me like Minecraft's has, and I dug into it more deeply than anything I've made before. What I've found is that the effects of Minecraft's music are multi-dimensional...A phenomenon I've never encountered before in game music.

I genuinely hope this latest installment resonates with you like it has for me through making it 🎶

Boy, I've been dying to make this announcement for MONTHS. The next VGM Quest installment is dropping this Saturday at 12PM EST! I'll be taking a deep dive into Minecraft's music and exploring a very unique, multi-dimensional theme that I have never seen (or felt) before in a game soundtrack.

This one clocks in at a little over an hour -- So make sure you put some time aside this weekend 🎵

See you soon!

The AUDIO for the upcoming Minecraft video is now complete! Final step... Video! We're almost there!

As a bonus, here's my cat, Sadie. She always supports my work by sitting directly in front of my monitor and obstructing my line of sight.

I can't wait to get this latest installment out into the world. It's a big one... a little over an hour long!

See you again soon 🎶

Phew… The script for the Minecraft video is finally complete! Now it’s off to recording, editing, and production.

I like to be remote while I write. You’ll most likely find me at a park or a little coffee shop. However, this time in particular I found myself writing at the local library most often. Call it serendipity or coincidence, but my library just so happened to be decorated with what I would call… visual inspiration. I shared a couple pictures if you’d like to see what I mean.

This one is shaping up to be my biggest (and most favorite) installment yet. I cannot wait to share it with you!

See you soon…

The next VGM Quest installment: Minecraft. This was inevitable, right?

My relationship with Minecraft spans back to the beta days, so exploring this music on a deeper level has been such a meaningful experience in so many ways.

It's been a joy writing this script, but it has its challenges. I'm currently re-working things to better articulate my primary message. There's something really special about Minecraft's music and I want to give it my best. I've still got a ways to go — And it's shaping up to be quite possibly the biggest video yet.

Stay tuned!

Every VGM Quest installment starts with the same process: Research and note-taking.

This is the stage I'm currently in with the latest video. It's where I first dig into the music, winnow my thoughts, and develop the broader theme/thesis that will glue the entire video together. I prefer to do all my note-taking by hand; I find that I articulate my ideas better when I have to slow down and write them out.

All that said, this particular installment is one I've been wanting to do since I created this channel. It feels great to finally get to work on this one! After all... It's some of the greatest video game music ever composed. And I'm certainly not the only one who feels that way.

And if you're wanting to know what game's music I'll be covering this time, take a look at my notes. There's a pretty easy hint if you look for it 🔎

Hello! I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and provide a quick update.

Firstly, I deeply appreciate your comments, kind words, and overall support regarding the Cruis'n World video. I'm well aware that it doesn't have NEARLY the appeal as the other game soundtracks I've covered, and yet so many of you have voiced that you enjoyed the video without having any prior knowledge of the game itself. That is just awesome. I wholeheartedly believe that any of these songs can be enjoyed without the game's context... Sounds like you agree!

Secondly, I'd like to announce that I've just begun work on my next installment! And I'll simply say this for now... It's going to take some time to mine my way through some of these tracks......

More updates to come 🎵

It’s here! New video drops tomorrow (Saturday), May 24th at 12PM EST! We’ll be taking a deep dive into the music of Cruis’n World. On the surface, it’s a fun, energetic soundtrack… But under the hood, these 14 tracks are packed with a surprising amount of musical intricacies and nuance.

I can’t wait to share this latest installment with you. Thanks for your patience. I hope you find it worth the wait 🎵
