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!

Ain't the snow levels usually the worst? No worries, The Game Brass comes and gives the tunes some love and now I actually want to go and slip away on ice. pghm

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
