Ever since we got a taste of live lead violin at VGM Con and MagWest 2024, we've wanted to try adding more live classical instruments. This is our opportunity to do this, with world-class strings and brass.

(And @johnstacy.bsky.social is helping out so much. We love you John. ❤️)

This January, we're returning to the @magfest.org main stage for an all #AceCombat #VGM show. With live strings and brass. And voice-acted cutscenes.

<< It's time. >> 🤘

MAGFest - The Music and Gaming Festival @magfest.org · 9d

@thetiberiansons.bsky.social are returning to Super MAGFest - with a concert featuring only music from the greatest fighter plane series of all time: Ace Combat. They'll be joined on stage by Videri String Quartet & The Game Brass - and they're going to take you right into the danger zone!

Today is the 30th anniversary of #CommandAndConquer !

Happy anniversary to the coolest of all #RTS series, and to the greatest DOS install program of all time.

(Man, was that concert 2.5 years ago already? Time flies. Brno was incredible. The audience went *hard*.)

We'll have more AC-related news to share later this year. In the meantime, let's hope the Bandai-Namco showcase brings us AC8, or an AC3 remake, or an AC 4/5/0 remaster?

And check out our AC album, "Anthems of Liberation":

Seen from the outside, 2025 is a slower year than 2024 for us... But that's because we're busy working on a number of projects that will materialize by the end of the year at the earliest.

🤘 Believe us, *we're cooking.* 🤘
