With shelter-in-place measures in full swing as a result of the novel coronavirus, musicians worldwide are banding together
to make music in virtual ensembles.
And so, Virtual Video Game Orchestra (VVGO for short) was organized by members from various IRL VGOs/GSOs, and comprised of local musicians hailing from across the globe!
supported by 7 fans who also own “Project 11: Prologue (Book One)”
This album stands up better than many other instrumental metal albums I run across. The music isn’t just endless chugging and noodling: there are strong, memorable melodies. Ro Panuganti utilizes a wide range of atmospheres and textures to evoke the original mood of the games, and his arrangements are inventive and engaging.

Disasterpeace's latest game soundtrack is packed to the gills with samples, mimicking the background noise of the subways in the game. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 29, 2016

Massive album where they really have outdone themselves with help of a throng of other musicians. Could really describe this as their best work yet. pghm
