Namaste friends!
I have just finished a new electro/progressive house mix that is a part of the Summer 08 Collection, a series of summer EDM mixes I have been working on this season. There is quite a bit of depth to this mix, so I should take some time to explain its significance. Here’s some background info on this one:
Eleven years ago, the world was exposed to the ingenious masterpiece known as “Metal Gear Solid 1″ for the Sony Playstation, created by Japanese director and designer Hideo Kojima. This title not only changed the direction of gaming, it (along it several other 1997 releases) redefined the medium’s intentions entirely. Just as literature, film, music, art, and every other branch of communication operate as effective forms of human expression, gaming has found its rightful place in the pack and has solidified its presence in our incredibly complex world of relationships, values, and ethics. Its potency must not be underestimated.
MGS1 character Dr. Naomi Hunter, support to protagonist Solid Snake, offers to us her simple, yet compassionate words which lie at the heart of this mix: “The important thing is that you choose life… and then live!”
“The Pursuit of Life” is devoted to reinforcing this essential message and aims to motivate us to live more fully each and every day.
To listen to the mix, please click here.
For the playlist and graphic banner, please visit the Summer 08 Collection page.
If you are interested in hearing Naomi’s full message (via youtube), please click here to soak it all in!
This mix was released on July 28th, 2008. Two more Summer 08 Collection mixes to be released in August before it’s all over! Please leave a comment or two if you connect with Naomi’s words or the progression & feelings that the music brings you.
PLUR!
