ExplicitMerch Madness: Jesse Mainfinger Gregory | Every once in a while, we here at SideQuesting like to put the spotlight on those artists and entrepreneurs on the fringe of the video game industry. Be they musicians, artists, businesspeople or even just indie developers, Merch Madness is here to tell their story and bring it to you, via written words and podcast specials. Music has a tendency to be a tragically underappreciated element of game design. The perfect score swelling at just the right moment can immortalize a boss fight, heighten a chase scene or punctuate a moment of tragedy. It's no wonder then that so many games have such great music. And that great music can inspire great talent. Case in point Jesse "Main Finger" Gregory. A master of electronic rhythm, Jesse as his alter ego Main Finger brings the sort of sweet, sweet noise that we hear at SideQuesting adore. | 12/2/11 | Free | View In iTunes |
