Ltd Edition Listens - Sam Hulick "A Hero Is Born"


Do you want a limited edition piece of original music composed by Sam Hulick of Mass Effect 3 fame, and help a good cause at the same time? Please continue reading.

Quoted from Sam Hulick's tumblr.:

 "Yesterday I shared a link to a donation page to help out a friend of mine, DB Cooper. Her partner, Fritz Hasenpusch, unexpectedly passed away during a hike while in Hawaii. This is a man whom DB has been friends with for thirty-five years, and they became more than friends in the last two years of his life.

I’ve already given what I’m able to, but I don’t feel it’s enough, so I’m temporarily releasing a track from my album I’ve been working on for a while and donating 100% of the profits to DB and Fritz’s family. It’s tagged as “pre-release” just to indicate that although this track is complete, the final version going on the album will likely be a bit different, either musically or mix-wise.

So for the next nine days only, “A Hero is Born” will be available for sale here: http://samhulick.bandcamp.com/track/a-hero-is-born-pre-release

On August 23rd at 10:00PM Central Time (Aug 24 3:00AM GMT), the track will be taken down and won’t resurface again till the album is complete. Again, 100% of the proceeds during this one-week period go directly towards helping those closest to Fritz, who have been affected emotionally and financially by his loss.

Thank you for helping out!"

This is a no-brainer if you are a music fan, especially if you love original, orchestral-based pieces and epic video game soundtracks. Even if you aren't a fan of either, it is a great piece of music for a good cause. If you are unfamiliar with Sam Hulick (first of all shame on you!) you may very well have heard his music in video games including Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Mass Effect 3, Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad and Baldur's Gate: The Black Pits. Please join me in supporting Sam's efforts and purchase a download of "A Hero Is Born". Even sharing Sam's original blog post or retweeting him to spread the word is helpful. And thank you.

Reign in Peace... Jeff Hanneman

The heavy metal community has lost one of its most important guitar players. Jeff Hanneman, founding member of Slayer, passed away yesterday at the age of 49. While the music he helped create may not appeal to all, or even most, listening tastes, his impact as a composer, lyricist, guitarist and especially as a progenitor of the thrash metal genre, is undisputed.

One Lady, One Piano, One Deep Purple Classic

Well this is an excellent way to start the day and to close out Yesvember. Award-winning classical pianist Vika Yermolyeva and her solo piano take on Deep Purple's classic rhythm and blues rocker, "Lazy" in extremely admirable fashion. After you watch Vika's performance, come inside to check out the original, especially if it's never penetrated your ears before and to learn about Vika's other unique performances.
