“Minuet of Time” - Triforce Quartet
The third album of Triforce Quartet. Their original arrangements of video game music bring new life to classic and newer scores. As a gamer myself, it was fun to help bring these tracks to life. I used a combination of close micing and room micing to allow for more flexibility in the mixing process.
Recorded and Mixed by Alex Righter. Tracked at Blue Sprocket Sound in Harrisonburg, VA Summer 2019.
The Triforce Quartet is a traditional string quartet that plays video game music.
The Triforce Quartet began innocently as a short Zelda medley for an encore of a recital in early 2007, but the video of using traditional string quartet instruments to play music of classic games gained viral popularity later that summer. Thanks to this, cellist Chad Schwartz was able to combine his love for video games, along with years of classical training, to arrange a variety of video game themes that even non-gamers can enjoy. The four members of the Triforce Quartet take audience members on an unforgettable musical journey.
The Triforce Quartet has played in front of sold out shows at PAX Prime in Seattle, PAX East in Boston; MAGFest in Washington DC, the iDIG Music Festival in Ireland and with Video Games Live!
