28/05/2024: Christopher Larkin ⋅ Hollow Knight Piano Collections

An actual daily update!? (when was the last time that happened?). These are piano versions of the Hollow Knight original soundtrack (my all-time favorite game). The OST (which is more orchestral in nature) was composed by Christopher Larkin, but the piano compositions are from David Peacock and Augustine Mayuga Gonzales who are also involved with making music for other famous indie video games like Hyper Light Drifter, Ori and the Blind Forest, etc...

I used to be able to play White Palace, Sealed Vessel, and Radiance on piano (not as elegantly as is here ofc), but that was like 5-6 years ago. I haven't touched the piano since so it was kinda sad listening to these pieces coz it's like "man.. I used to be able to play this.. and now I can't"

There is also a "Piano Collections" for Undertale; also by David Peacock and Augustine Mayuga Gonzales.

27/05/2024: Pharoah Sanders ⋅ Harvest Time

This is the first time an artist has appeared twice on TIGM!! It's Pharaoh Sanders again. This time I'm showcasing the 20 minute long "Harvest Time" from his 1977 self-titled album. The album was reissued in 2023, now including two live performances of "Harvest Time" and you can hear them here (though they sound very different from the studio version).

08/05/2024: Sloche ⋅ Stadaconé

Sloche was a prog rock band formed in Quebec during the 1970s. Not much is known about them. They've only released two albums and this is the first song from the second. It's kinda sad to see bands just fade away into obscurity due to lack of popularity. Even if they do somehow become relevant many years later, it is ultimately too late.

04/05/2024: Kendrick Lamar ⋅ Euphoria

Now, I have no context about what the beef is between Kendrick and Drake, but I'm just happy we are getting a bunch of sick diss tracks as a result. Euphoria by Kendrick is my favorite out of the several diss tracks thats been released so far. I like Kendrick's music in general, he's one of my favorites and is a very brilliant lyricist.

Timeline :

First Person Shooter (Drake) -> Like That (Kendrick) -> Push Ups, Taylor Made (Drake) -> Euphoria 6:16 in L.A (Kendrick) -> Family Matters (Drake) -> Meet the Grahams, Not Like Us (Kendrick)
