I’ve been gathering some highlights of some of the reactions so far that I thought stood out. So far it’s been almost overwhelmingly positive. Phew.

Here’s some of my favorites.

Giant Bomb

Here’s a partial walkthrough of our E3 demo. Will give you a good idea of what it’s all about. Most of the music in the scene I had something to do with.

Polygon

Definitely my favorite read.

“The team’s ambition is to create nothing less than an instrument through which to communicate how music is made and then grant players the ability to mix and match songs with which they may already be familiar and, hopefully, discover their own hidden musical potential.”

Joystiq

“Fantasia: Music Evolved was very impressive. Harmonix has had a long string of hits with the Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and then Dance Central series, but this is something else, a game obsessed less with scoring and parties and more with the art and the magic of music itself. The company is working on something very special up in Boston, and we’ll look forward to it when it’s ready in 2014.”

 

Game Informer 

We were surprisingly gifted a good number of awards and recognitions at this year’s E3 showing. This is one of them.

Today the press lifted the veil on a game I’ve been involved with and am proud to be writing, arranging, and producing music for.

Fantasia: Music Evolved is the newest game from Harmonix, in an obvious partnership with Disney, where the player isn’t just performing, but interacting, creating, sculpting, and unleashing music into the world of Fantasia. It’s a brand new concept for a music game that I’m sure will blow people away.

More news will be coming out today and in the near future. Stay tuned.

Harmonix’s first iOS entry hit the App Store a few weeks back, featuring a good amount of songs written by yours truly. The premiss of the app is that the user records their own original samples/videos using the iDevice’s built in camera and mic, thus creating either a horrific or hilarious version of any of the given songs preloaded onto the app.

Sooo, you have to see it to believe it. Here’s just one example of some guy’s dog interpreting my original song, “D-O-G-S.”
