My regular readers know that I’m frequently blogging about the Utopia campaign we’re playing. I’ve often wanted to write a more detailed explanation on how the campaign is actually played, but luckily, my friend (and one of the players) Joonas who runs the Dusty Gamer blog did it for me. So, if you’re at all interested in Utopia and troupe play – playing several characters at the same time – go check it out. You can find the post here.
I always listen to music when I paint. Usually it’s just for background ambience or some jolly singalong, but every now and then it’s for inspiration. Lately I’ve been in a scifi mood a lot. After playing through Mirror’s Edge and Deus Ex: Human Revolution I was in such a cyberpunk state of mind, that I just wanted to keep going with that. That turned into a Spotify playlist.
With this intro, I present to you my Cyberpunk list. It’s mostly a combination of video game (Mass Effect, Deus Ex, Mirror’s Edge) and movie (Blade Runner, Underworld, TRON: Legacy, Matrix Reloaded, Contagion) soundtracks with some other selected pieces (Jarre, Burial, The American Dollar) thrown in. It’s designed mostly for moody, atmospheric background listening, so there isn’t too much dramatic or loud stuff.
Enjoy! If you have suggestions for additions to the list, feel free to send them in.
