Out of Hibernation is a synth-driven tribute to video game music that I love, whether from games that I have enjoyed or just tracks that jumped out at me when I heard them. All tracks began life as entries in the monthly Dwelling of Duels remix competition, where I have met so many fantastic people, many of whom lent their talents to this album. The monthly themes often encourage participants to dig up music from lesser-known games which is why this album has everything from obscure DOS shareware games that I got on magazine cover discs to more recent hits and classics from the retro VGM catalogue. Dedicated to Chris McKnight and Sean Babbitt who both taught me a lot about life, music and friendship.
