Hi OCR!
Long time fan, first (or maybe second) time poster.
I'm currently a senior working toward my degree in music composition and have been assigned a project that requires me to look into a specific musical culture.
Well naturally, I went to video game music.
This community has been so fantastic in bringing VGM to the general population (as well as offering me personally continued inspiration during my studies), and I want to be able demonstrate how OCR has helped both advocate and sustain the VGM fan-base (as well as popularize it!).
Is there anyway I can get you guys to answer some survey questions for me? It would really mean a lot.
1. What first encounter with VGM? What kind of effect do you remember it having on you?
2. At what point do you remember considering yourself a VGM fan (or OCR fan) in relation to your first VGM experience?
3. How did you hear about OCR?
4. What do you feel would be some non-musical examples (fan art, videos, interpretive dance, horse racing, rock-throwing) of the OCR society?
5. How has VGM and OCR affected your life?
Thanks for helping me out guys, I really want to be able to show my academic environment what VGM and OCR has to offer.
You guys rule!
P.S. If for whatever reason you any of you guys/gals/aliens/abnormally colored anthropomorphic farm animals have any questions, or would be up for a personal interview (that would be AMAZING if you could) send me a message here on OCR, or send me a message through my website: http://phrygian.weebly.com/
Thanks again
And keep rockin' \m/
