I don’t know where to put this, so I create a new thread - maybe we can collect other things about video game music here. 🙂 In October there is the “Game Music Festival” in Poland. An Orchestra will play the Grim Fandango music (btw: We are celebrating 20 years of Grim!). > **[Game Music Festival - Wroclaw National Forum of Music](http://gmfest.com/)** > > World of Warcraft, Diablo, Starcraft, The Grim Fandango, Heroes of Might & Magic and Ori and the Blind Forest. The first game music festival brings game music concerts, meetings with composers, prelections, debates, community panels, contests, extras... ---

How about Frank Klepacki? (No complaints! He composed the music for adventure games like _Legend of Kyrandia_ and _Blade Runner_. Even though you know that in my secret heart of hearts I want the Dune/C&C/Emperor/8-Bit Armies type stuff.) But yeah, @Guga is excellent too! 😃 Edit: full soundtrack: ---
