Let’s go, let’s see how hard we can riff!
It’s nine minutes long or something and it was such a fun thing to do to make all the different movements and for that second section to challenge myself with how hard can I rock, how fast can this be where I can still play the riff in a convincing way. I mean I think maybe God of the Dead is close second, just because it was so much fun to work on and its just such a monster of a piece. I’m super proud with how it turned out and I love the sound that we ended up getting with that, it was a blast. It was an original song I was recording at Abbey Road with this chamber orchestra and I brought some tracks - I’d recorded the rock tracks beforehand and brought them in, and yeah, it was just such a wonderful experience doing that and recording the vocals live there with Ashley and while the chamber orchestra was there, unbelievable experience. I think at this moment it might be In the Blood, just because of how we recorded it. Which piece of yours are you most proud of? I feel like I liked it at the time, I still like it, I’m at peace with a lot of my past stuff in that way, I think. I guess technically I did a piece of video game music for a student project that Amir had done in school, so I guess technically that’s the first piece.īut Mine, Windbag, Mine, I still feel good about it, a lot of my past stuff, I feel like it’s representative of where I was at at the time, and I don’t really have a revisionist desire for any of that kind of stuff even though maybe I’d do it differently now. I think Mine, Windbag, Mine from Bastion was the first piece of video game music I ever wrote. What was the very first video game you wrote music for, and how do you feel listening back now? Last music I listened to was Queens of the Stone Age. What was the first song or album you remember buying?įirst album I bought was two albums at the same time, it was Off The Deep End by Weird Al and Monty Python Sings, those were the first two albums I bought on the same day. You know, Which magical instrument would you take on an epic adventure? - important stuff like that.
In the meantime, let's find out the answers to the really big questions.
