Video game remix web siteOverclocked Remixhas partnered up withVideo Games Liveto rock the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC this Friday and Saturday. You may already know about the epic touring game music concert series aswe’ve covered it here at Destructoidseveral times, and founder Tommy Tallaricois a friend of the site, but Overclocked Remix might be new to some.
OCR (as the regulars call it) is a web site dedicated to video game music remixes and arrangements, and is arguably the most important in the small but growing video game remix scene. It was founded in 1999 by David Lloyd and has since become the internet’s hub for game music lovers. The site contains thousands of songs by hundreds of musicians (including myself!), and even professionals likeJeremy SouleandGeorge Sanger(a.k.a The Fat Man) have joined in on the fun.
Both Video Games Live and Overclocked Remix share the same goal of wanting to encourage and support the art of video game music, so it was only natural that they partner up.
“It’s really amazing to be working withocremix.orgbecause I’ve always been such a huge fan of the site and the idea behind it,” says Tommy Tallarico, co-founder of Video Games Live. “As a video game composer, it’s a real honor to know that so many people are so passionate about video game music.”
If you’re even remotely interested in game music, be sure to make it out to one of theVideo Games Liveperformances. I attended the Dallas performance last week and it was incredible. If you’re poor and still would like to hear what all the buzz is about, be sure to check outOverclocked Remix– hundreds of great songs are free for the taking, and you’re certain to find something you’ll like. Also, be sure to keep an eye out for the upcoming Destructoid Game Music Primer, which will help introduce people to the scene and give people some insight into this incredible community.
