I’m not very musically inclined. Sure, I played music a
while ago, but I’m not all that skilled at it and I certainly couldn’t make up
my own serious song. At best, I could write a catchy jingle that people would
hate me for because they couldn’t get it out of their heads and it would be a
song that gets on everybody’s nerves. Everybody’s nerves. It would be a song
that gets on everybody’s nerves… all day long. What was I talking about?
Right! So I may not be talented with music to any notable
degree, but I know what I like. And I absolutely LOVE the sounds of The
Escapist Magazine’s indie musician, Gavin Dunne (aka, the Miracle of Sound).
For those who aren’t familiar with him (you’re about to be) he’s an indie
musician that writes songs based on games (sometimes film and TV too). But it
isn’t just a remix of songs from the game. He takes the tone and feelings he
felt during the game and translates it into an original piece. Some of the song
might have melodies inspired heavily from the original work (such as his
Breaking Bad homage, “Forever Blue”) but
it’s all his original work and most of it is quite good. Before we kick off our
“Best Of” lists for the end of the year, I thought I’d stop and just list my
twelve favorite songs of this talented internet bard and maybe see if we can
get him some new fans. If not, at least I’ll have fun re-listening to some of
my favorites.
