![]() Sam has arranged for orchestra, jazz band, solo performers, and chamber groups, including Symphony By The Sea, the North Country Chamber Players, L’Orchestre Jeux Video, and the Greater Bridgeport Symphony. Sam can be heard on the scores for Mortal Kombat 11, Ambition: A Minuet in Power, Anew: The Distant Light, and on the sound library “Advanced Propulsion” by Penguin Grenade. He’s played for short films and indie film, but he’s best known for video game music. While Sam is an accomplished orchestral and chamber musician, he is best known for recording from his home studio for soundtracks. He’s ready to add some thump to whatever you throw at him, whether it’s classical, jazz, rock, or funk. He’s also an arranger and a music educator. Big ol’ double bass boys, electric basses, you name it. You don’t even have to know a thing about music! You just need to strap in for a rollicking, avant-garde nerd carnival. You don’t have to know a thing about video game music to enjoy DiscoCactus. All of us combine our unique perspectives to make a show that transcends genre and transforms the music we play in fresh, exciting ways. When it’s time to play as DiscoCactus, these six performers form like Voltron, bringing all of their experience and power down on one glorious purpose: To make you shake your ass. You’ve heard SEVERAL of them in Anew: The Distant Light and Mortal Kombat 11. You’ve heard some of them in games like Celeste, Destiny 2, Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, and Final Fantasy XV. Their members have studied at some of the world’s top conservatories, written music for the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, toured the world with Video Games Live, and more. But, like a frightened cat, Discocactus can grow up to four times its normal size when threatened (or for big projects).Įach of DiscoCactus’s members is a world-class performer in their own right. They use video game soundtracks as a jumping off point for a party, a nonstop display of kinetic musicianship that blends contemporary art music with dozens of pop styles, steeped in the language of the Internet.Įstablished in 2014, the band’s core is made of six game audio professionals that serve as the primary arrangers and performing mainstays. but theres no indication of either on this.DiscoCactus is a collective of composers, performers, and arrangers. i only ever recall seeing pressing rings this small on Columbia Santa Maria (CSM) and RCA Music Club pressings. and the pressing ring on the label area is tiny, maybe less than a 1" radius. and, no, that machine stamped number 1 is Not an upsidedown "T", which would indicate a Terra Haute pressing (its not). The "1" is 180-degrees across from the other matrix number.Īnother odd thing is the labels do Not have a 2-letter pressing plant ID after the matrix number that would indicate where it was pressed at. its the label area and matrix etchings is where it gets strange.īoth labels have the same printed catalog numbers of SD 33-340 and ST-C-70195/6 on them, but the matrix numbers are machine stamped and are as follows. Its obviously an original 1970 pressing as the jacket is identical to my white label pressing from the Monarch plant even has the same cut-out hole on the upper left corner. ![]() Just found a random copy this morning at one of my local second-hand shops, and its a variant that i cant find here. ![]()
