Hello all,
I'm Valvalion, I live in Europe.
I play music since I was kid, and enjoy particulary listen and play video games music.
I play guitar & bass guitar and violin (I suck at violin), I like programing & sequencing, I use a lot PureData and I chose the painful way to use only open source software to produce my music (my DAW is Ardour3, I use MuseScore to compose and sometimes Lilypond, stuff like that )
I experiment a lot : field recording, circuit bending, procedural composition, no-input music, acousmatic stuff, granular synthesis ... , and time to times, I like create instruments.
I'm a total GearSlut, I love to find/design/make weird pieces of gear.
I've been using online resources to get and listening video games music (remixed or not) , started in the 90s with the very still alive www.vgmusic.com and, obviously with OCR wich I am a long time downloader.
I think that the first ORC stuff I ever listened is the FFVII album "voice of the lifestream" in the mid 2000s.
So, as I recently start to make remixes & cover of video games music, I tought that it was a good idea to create an account here and starts to be not only a user but a contributor and have some feedback for my little works.
You can find here some of my field recording and other experiments : www.youtube.com/user/valvalion
And here, some tryout of the instruments that I make here : https://vimeo.com/user28063215/
