    I want to build you a computer

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hey all!

    I've just pulled the trigger on a computer which Brad's given me a ton of help putting together. Shipping from the US to Norway would have meant a painful lot of money in shipping and taxes, but even if that was out of the question he still wanted to help me find the proper parts, which I could then buy locally.

    Communicating with Brad has been nothing but a positive experience. He's got a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer all the questions I had in a very informative way. I can't recommend him enough for anyone who's looking for a new computer.

    Thanks!

    Hi!
     
    Long time lurker and occasional contributor (http://ocremix.org/remix/OCR02441, http://mm25.ocremix.org/ and http://esther.ocremix.org/) here.
     
    I'm currently composing for my first video game, a business simulator set during the age of sail called Winds of Trade. The game is a nice mix of mechanics and aesthetics that can be found in games like Port Royale, Transport Tycoon, Heroes of Might and Magic and Mount and Blade.
     
    Musically, it's an incredibly fun challenge, as the score demands a certain amount of historical accuracy while fitting and functioning with the gameplay at the same time. Here's one of the tracks I've written som far https://soundcloud.com/fredrikdronen/voyages-of-a-despatch-vessel
     

    The game is currently on Steam Greenlight and needs a gentle push to get through http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=811054952

    Feel free to check it out, and if you do and like it enough to vote for it to be released, I'm incredibly thankful!

    - Fredrik

    I'm currently working as a composer and sound designer on a small indie game with a dev form my hometown (Bergen, Norway). Other than that I always compose new stuff that occationally ends up here: https://soundcloud.com/fredrikdronen

     

    Gaming wise I've recently had a go at Endless Legend, which is amazing. I would recommend it to all Civ fans. 

     

    My day job is being a lawyer at The Norwegian Competition Authority, and my son is now 1,5 years old as well as being the most awesome guy in the world! Totally unbiased, ofcourse. 

    Your "feels" VGM

    I just attended a VGM concert called "Score" in Norway, and this piece just completely blew me away:

    I had never heard it before, didn't know anything about the story or characters in the game, and still I was all goosebumps and tears by the end of it. Imagine what I would have been like if I had built up a connection with the game and the story.

    That's what I love about video game music. How it can stand alone as great pieces of music, and at the same time forge incredibly powerful connections with the gamers who spend hours listening to them while experiencing all kinds of memorable in-game moments.

    Might not be quite what you're after, but I thought I'd share my latest "feels"-moment with you ;)

    I'm really loving your style! So many tiny and clean sounds playing together on top of that massive beat and bass :D Plus a whole lotta nostalgia.

    While I have your attention, I want to point out that the first 10 or so seconds on your entry for the GRMRB round 1 "Blowing'em outta the water" is probably the cheeriest 10 seconds I've heard in any song. Always gets me in a good mood!
