MUSICAL TIME CAPSULES
If you remember the big jump you went off, you also remember the music soaring to match the apex of your flight. However, this doesn’t exist as just a memory. I can play the game whenever I want to relive these experiences and hear the music again in the same context as I did before. I think that this is an incredibly powerful feeling… we invest our time and emotions into games and it’s no wonder that we feel nostalgic about them.

Contemporary works are built on the shoulders of giants, weaving together several inspirational sources, demonstrated in the genre, instrumentation, chord progression, or even just the feeling. Musical borrowing is an intrinsic value of musical creation, and it is fascinating how you can trace it between songs and generations.
