From SIGNAL CANNON Podcast:
The History of Video Game Music
Forty years ago Space Invaders revolutionized the way we played games. With just four simple notes that got faster as aliens crept closer, video games grabbed us by the heart and compelled our attention. Now, gaming is a billion dollar industry. But how’d it get there? How did music change the history of computers?

SIGNAL CANNON Presents:
The Golden Record
“This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope some day, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination and our goodwill in a vast and awesome universe.”
– President Jimmy Carter, Sept. 1977
