Videogame and anime pianist Piano Squall (Michael Gluck) has made quite a name for himself performing all over the United States at various anime conventions. He has amassed a serious fanbase with his piano arrangements of tunes from the best videogames and anime series, with proceeds from his performances and sales going to several charities. He was nice enough to sit down with us to tell us a bit about what he’s up to lately, giving us details on his new debut CD, GAME.
GAME – Piano Squall

Videogame music fans have a lot of reasons to buy the new piano arranged album called GAME by Michael Gluck. First of all, it’s an American-made arranged videogame album which isn’t all too common in the first place. Furthermore, it’s relatively cheap at only $9.99, and 20% of the profits are donated to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

It has always been common practice for musicians to arrange their favorite tunes and replay them for their friends, family or locally. This practice saw a boom within the videogame world with the advent of the internet. Communities gathered and places like OverClocked Remix and RPGamer’s: The Music Box, popped up giving remixers a place to share their arrangements.
