Main Finger's Videogame "Jam a Day" Blog

Posted on July 21, 2010

People that know me well know that I can’t shut up about videogame music. I love the stuff. I listen to it all the time. I remix it. Yet, I don’t always feel like writing a full, long-form piece on it which is why my music posts on WingDamage don’t happen that often.

For this reason, I’ve created an outlet for myself where I can share a few words about my game music passion each day. Main Finger’s Videogame “Jam a Day” Blog is a place where you can hear a videogame song hand picked by me every day (barring unforeseen circumstance) and read my very brief thoughts on it.

Sometimes it will be directly from a soundtrack, sometimes it will be a remix. There aren’t any strict rules here. However, my goal is to introduce people to new music they might not otherwise hear from a variety of genres and artists. Because of this, you might not always see me pick the most well known tunes (though I’m sure classics will appear from time to time).

So head on over to mainfinger.tumblr.com and see for yourself the songs I love. And if you like the blog, be sure to recommend it in the gaming and/or music directory of tumblr and spread the word to your friends. Hope you enjoy!

Stream a New Main Finger Remix on YouTube!

Posted on February 15, 2010

I currently have my hand in several projects. Rather than wait until each and every one of these projects is finished to release new music to the public, I've decided to use the Main Finger YouTube channel to stream rough cuts of new songs. Some of the stuff I'm working on still needs to be hidden for now, but I am releasing one song today and plan on releasing more in the not too distant future.

Today's streamable debut is the rough cut of my remix of "Always On My Mind". This song is covered to death, but the particular version I chose to remix (by Akira Yamaoka and Mary Elizabeth Glynn) is vastly different than the rest. Go ahead and give it a listen here or after the break. And be sure to subscribe to keep up to date on new streamable rough cuts.

Main Finger Wins Dark Void Remix Contest!

Posted on December 20, 2009

I have some very exciting news! About a month ago, I set out to enter an official remix competition that Capcom (in association with URB) was holding. My mission was to remix the theme song from the upcoming Dark Void videogame. The soundtrack is scored by Bear McCreary who you might know from Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles. McCreary himself was one of the judges of the contest.

To my surprise, I actually won. As a prize, I will receive three different items to expand my studio and further my musical possibilities. I also had the privilege of reading McCreary's personal comments about my remix. You can find the song in the blog post linked below.
