I think it’s every gamer’s dream to somehow be involved in the video game industry. Whether you’re a writer, a graphic designer, musician, etc. -it’s a gamer’s greatest aspiration to somehow contribute their talents into making the video games that they love to play. While for many this may seem like a pipe dream, for some of the talented musicians and remixers over at OC ReMix, this dream has come true. The upcoming Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (available on Xbox LIVE and the Playstation Network sometime this Fall) will feature tracks arranged by a variety of OC ReMix musicians.

I’ve been a huge fan of OC ReMix for over a year now ever since their release of the Final Fantasy VII: Voices of the Lifestream, an amazing compilation of remixes from the Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, and it’s awesome to see them finally get the recognition that they deserve. All their music is created not for profit, but instead homeage to the video games that have inspired their music, and a love letter to the thousands of fans who visit the website daily.

An interview with OC ReMix with website creator, David Lloyd, can be found in the August issue of GameInformer, and technology blog Ars Technica (via CollegeHumor) has posted an indepth interview with some of OC ReMix’s staff including David Lloyd, Shael Riley, Larry Oji, and Andrew Aversa. Be sure to check it out -it gives some very interesting insight on what went into producing the soundtrack for Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix. At the very least, it’s an inspiring and educational read for any aspiring musicians who are hoping to break into the video game industry.

Listed below is a link to the interview as well as OC ReMix’s original remix album (the one that got them noticed by Capcom and ultimately selected to work on the soundtrack) for Street Fighter II, “Blood on the Asphalt”.

Mark Fujii: I'm your typical college student who plays too much video games. I also work as an electronic sales associate, meaning I sell Ipods and violent video games to your children when not trying to sneak off and play Super Smash Bros while the boss isn't looking. Oh, and I'm totally awesome. True fact.
