21: 57 - Gamercore Could Rise Up...
Monday, March 10, 2008
Written by: Prodigy
For a while after observing acts like MC Frontalot rap about the aspects of nerdish behaviour (hence nerdcore) I began to develop my own ideas of a specific 'core' subgenre, this being gamercore.
A music type that expresses love for a game and its aspects, be it an epic and faithful ode written from the bottom of a true fanboys heart, or a comedic and lighthearted side view on characters and plot. I prefer the former when concerning my game of choice, but will be doing both.
Many shared their own similar ideas (like Melaisis/Scott for example) and have brought about or are developing their own efforts, like Melaisis/Scott with the CS rap, me with several planned Halo odes, though the riff I have developed at the moment I feel is best incorporated into a suite, said riff and its deviations being linked to Tartarus, the treacherous Brute Chieftain from Halo 2 (Heh, don't pretend you knew that). And I'm sure many others have thought about following suit.
I currently have a few recordings of experimentation, I'm looking to cut them apart and throw something together as a sample of progress, but don't hold your breath, this program is using the worst format I've ever seen.
Alas, gamercore though I guess to say we're creating it would be a step too far as I'm sure many other like minded individuals have had the thoughts themselves, but we're bringing it forward. Now all I need is another riff :s.
