This is Jake Kaufman (virt) - Thanks for the buzz, guys. I really hope you'll be happy with my work.
RainMan: Nope, you don't have any reason to know of me, but it's nice to meet you! I'm still early in my career, and haven't done anything big or impressive yet - just a lot of handheld work and a ton of hobbyist stuff.
I humbly present this album as a recent example of what I do. I agree with you that previous Contra soundtracks have been exquisitely brilliant - VERY big shoes to fill. I have spent the past decade studying every technique used by Konami across the NES, SNES, and Genesis, because I believe it's the pinnacle of game music and should not be lost in the sea of Hans Zimmer knockoffs and pop licenses.
I've had to do the work of all 6 sound staff who worked on Contra III, and I've taken it VERY seriously. I don't think there's any working composer in the world - even in Japan - with a greater love for Konami's music, so from one fan to another, I hope I've done it justice. I guess you'll see before too long, huh.
Thanks again for the support, and enjoy the chiptunes! |
AHHH!!!! AHHH!!!!
HOLY FUCKING SHIT!
virt doing the music?! Game BOUGHT.
This is going to be incredible, and even if the game somehow sucks, you just know that Gamespot/IGN/paper mags are still going to rave about the music, just like they did with Scurge, Legend of Kay, Juka, and your other previous games.
Wow, this could well be your breakout hit! I wish you the best, man! =D
Jam it back in, in the dark.
