A different kind of music release

[Matthew Labarge]

Just over fifteen months ago I started work on my latest project.  Numbers League is a tabletop card game invented by my buddy the mad genius Ben Crenshaw.  I just finished implementing it as an iPad app!

I wrote all the software for the app, and I had considered hiring a game music professional to do the music for it, but with enough cajoling from Ben and my wife, I decided to take a try at writing the music myself.  You can hear a sample of the game music on this video:

(That's also my vocals at the end, in case you were curious.  Whatever it takes to get the job done!)

I'm really proud of the music since, as you will notice, it is wildly different from anything I've attempted.  The sound effects were also a real challenge, but came out quite nice.  I really do love this game!

If any of you are iPad owners and decide to give it a spin, please let me know your thoughts!
