C418 – Minecraft Volume Beta – Red Colored Cassette

As C418, composer and producer Daniel Rosenfeld
designs sounds to resonate in both physical and
pixelated realms. Best known for his original
soundtracks to Minecraft, the single best-selling
video game of all time, he's developed a
discography of instrumental music over the last
decade that traverses electronic pop patterns,
neo-classical dreamscapes, and sparse ambient
motifs. The latter element has broken from the
"8-bit" pigeonholing of game music and earned him
accolades that reference artists like Erik Satie (The
Guardian) and Brian Eno (VICE). In 2015, after quietly
self-releasing Minecraft Volume Alpha and Minecraft
Volume Beta, Rosenfeld partnered with Ghostly
International to reissue Minecraft Volume Alpha on
vinyl and CD. The release garnered attention from
proper music critics and the gaming community
alike, becoming one of the most sought after
records in the Ghostly catalog. Following several
restocks of Alpha to fervent fan response, the
soundtrack's second installment got its first pressing
in 2020. Originally self-released in 2013, the
collection features tracks that were "silently" added
to Minecraft during its music updates and a few that
never officially entered the game. Across Volume
Beta, Rosenfeld's unmistakable abilities are on
display; he creates a sweeping variety of musical
ideas that mirror the limitless universe of Minecraft.
