Video Games Live Launches Kickstarter Campaign
The composers behind the concert series Video Games Live have launched a Kickstarter campaign on Monday to raise support for their fourth album, reaching nearly $35,000 in financial backing in just two hours, Abigaile Elise from International Business Times reports.
“Although VGL has obtained a lot of accolades and success, the music industry and record companies are VERY different and no music or record company is willing to invest the budget needed to accomplish our goals and put out a top quality product that we and the entire game industry can be proud of,” reads the Kickstarter page. “They don't believe in the culturally artistic significance of video game music and they don't believe that people are interested in listening after the game is turned off.”
The campaign will end on Nov. 28 at 8 p.m. EDT. For more of this story, visit International Business Times!
