Bland generic soulless electronic music that appeals to the masses; it's not the type of thing I want to see in Minecraft.
How about an electronic producer with some originality and a degree of talent - Danger for example, instantly springs to mind.
Go ahead and ask him then. The thing is Deadmau5 is a big fan and is willing to make this on his own time.
I think that's a bit unfair, skil. Deadmau5 is obviously talented (his production is top class and he does all his mastering himself), and he's obviously not going to make supercompressed dance anthems for minecraft...
Actually, it's a lot unfair (if it "appeals to the masses", how can it be "bland generic soulless?"). There's always got to be some ***** who takes their opinion too far. People are like that with music, though. When I first started my LP, there were a few who got vehemently angry because of the opening music I used. I can understand disliking something, but to act like your musical opinion is the only one and start going apeshit on people is just stupid.
Who cares. The point of this thread is that Deadmau5 is making some type of music for Minecraft. Not what you think, what should be in it, or what you think it sounds like. If you want your own artist, then contact that artist and see if he will do music for Minecraft. If not, then I guess you're SoL :3
And the point I was making is that not everyone wants Deadmau5 to make music for Minecraft. Seems a pretty relevent thread to post my opinion in, really.
Snappy rhetoric, skil, but you pondered a 'degree of talent', which I cited as his production skills. Going on to change your lamentation to audio engineers not being an 'artists' is a non sequitur...
I think he could direct his chest-thumping talents to making music for Blood Moon nights (assuming they make it in to the game). Chaotic music and all that. Of course, that isn't to say he shouldn't make ambient songs alongside C418. Just a suggestion.

I didn't realise audio engeering skills made someone a good artist.
wow, you clearly have NO IDEA what is involved in producing music at all.
do you think someone with no artistic skill can make good music? really?
thats naive as ****.
there are tons of people who know how to use a synth, but the ones worth mentioning are also creatively talented.
as a producer myself, i can tell you for sure that deamau5 is definitely talented and creative, as well as artistically inclined. If you don't like it, that's fair, but just because you dislike it is not a good reason to think it's crap. I am pretty sure there is probably a lot of good art you don't like.
Engineering is what you do to put it together, but HOW you put it together... that's ART.
He may not be as original as you want, but you clearly are missing the point here. He has skills, skills that only another producer would be able to notice. One you probably don't notice because you clearly lack the ear for the subtleties that are required to understand to create it (it's ridiculously complex, it makes playing guitar look intellectually lazy in comparison).
Deadmau5 is not my favorite artist ever, but I would be stupid not to recognize his skill in the field.
I prefer more experimental stuff normally. But there is more to talent than 'how far from the mainstream' you are.
Heh, it seems you completely missed my sarcasm there. I don't deny that he knows his way around his production software. Technically he knows his stuff but the results are musically uninspiring.
I've been dabbling with Fruityloops and Reason for 6 or 7 years so I'm not as naive as you assume, and I don't agree with your comparison to playing a guitar but that's a whole other argument.
Oh haha my bad.
I'm guessing that he'd be a pretty good fit for the job, though.
His technical ability and solid understanding oh music would give him quite an edge over many more experimental artists (generally, soundtrack stuff should not be experimental, it should also not be the centerpiece, but more like the frame around which the painting goes inside). Also, his name would help sell the game, naturally, so it's automatic advertising. Personally, I would prefer to see an assortment of popular and fringe artists in the game with all original music on records that you can find, since the game mechanic is in already (I can honestly say I've yet to go get a record, though). I like the artist you posted, also, you should contact him and get him to look into make a track for one of the records in the game.
Don't affiliate me with a popular message board because I use a witty, common placed saying. Especially if its your way of getting out of the fact that you are insulting something just to be a douche.
Deadmau5 would be epic - I'm a huge fan and have bought everything that he has put out.
Although, you guys are believing that this is actually him posting. He's written 2 posts as of today and both in this thread. I'd love to think that it is him but I'm a bit dubious.

Not everyone loves his crappy UNTZ music. I much prefer the piano that's already in the game, it fits it better. If you want Deadmau5, either we be given a CHOICE or you just fire up youtube while playing.
meh, i do like that im very capable of making a wide variety of different styles of music, but i cant really say i like that my name remains synonymous with "untz untz untz"
What there needs to be is toggleable "Minecraft radio" with different "stations," one could be Deadmau5 stuff, another could be the calm C418 stuff, another could be classical, etc.
Or you could just turn off the music and play your own in the background
Sweet, looks like we might see some music :biggrin.gif:

Suucks, opinions here will make a difference.
Indeed

Its him, I met him last weekend.

i guess that's what monikers are for.
