Video Game Tracks Young And Old Are Reborn In REBIRTH
In the professional music world, Diwa DeLeon is an award-winning TV and film composer. But on YouTube, he’s known as “String Player Gamer,” where he channels his interests into covers of the music in his favorite games. After releasing a few albums dedicated to specific games, DeLeon is mixing it up with REBIRTH, a new album covering a host of the most popular games around, and featuring several musical guest stars.
“REBIRTH is a culmination of my passion for videogames and videogame music,” comments String Player Gamer. “It’s a collection of some of the best VGM from classic and modern games arranged in diverse styles including rock, metal, jazz, swing, reggae, ska, bossa nova, and orchestral among others. It also features several guest artists including vocalists, drummers and even an accordion player. This album is for anyone who loves videogames and music of all genres.”
We’ve written about DeLeon before, when he released albums like “Pluckhead” (a rearrangement of the music in Cuphead). This may be his most elaborate project to date. You can order the album here, and get a taste of it in the trailer below.
