For over 20 years, the OverClocked Remix community and website has been offering today’s and yesterday’s gamers to revisit the music of their favorite video games, be it a cover, a remix, or a rearrangement – for free. How many times The Legend of Zelda was put into jazz? Sonic The Hedgehog into dubstep? Mega Man into funk? Undertale into prog rock?
My feature story on VGM (video games music, but remixed, reorchestrated, rearranged, etc.) was shortlisted for the Shorthand Awards, the handy publishing platform I have used for the story!

I loved doing that story. The VGM scene is a great community full of very cool people! I had great conversations with them, and they were all more than happy to talk to me.

Thanks to all the remixers!
I wrote a feature story on the art of remixing your childhood’s video games scores, something that has been around for a while but benefited from much more traction recently, as licensed, professionalised record labels are now bringing it to the mainstream.
As a bonus, it will either make you feel better or more productive at work, at the gym or when you’re on chores.
