Game Soundtracks Take Center Stage in Upcoming Valley Performances

A unique musical experience is set to captivate audiences as a musician brings the iconic sounds of video games to life. At two distinct venues, Scott Hannay will recreate beloved soundtracks from classic games, offering fans an immersive auditory journey. Accompanied by visuals from these games, Hannay's performances promise a nostalgic trip for gaming enthusiasts.

Hannay's passion for video game music began during his childhood, where he learned piano by mimicking the melodies of his favorite games. This early fascination eventually led him to explore the intricate world of game soundtracks and their creation. Over time, he developed a method to mute original game audio and replace it with live renditions that retain the essence of the originals while adding new dimensions through real instruments. The shows will feature tracks from legendary titles like Super Mario 64 and Sonic the Hedgehog, ensuring there's something for everyone who appreciates both music and gaming history.

Beyond just entertainment, Hannay’s work highlights the importance of preserving cultural artifacts within digital media. By performing these timeless scores live, he bridges generational gaps and honors the creativity behind them. His approach emphasizes simplicity combined with complexity—a hallmark characteristic of great video game compositions. Tickets are available online for those eager to witness this innovative blend of nostalgia and artistry firsthand at upcoming events in the Upper Valley region.
