Several moons ago I was able to meet Lisette Titre-Montgomery who has worked in an industry which was parallel to the industry I started my career. This event or choice meeting was at GDC(IGDF) Blacks In Gaming event. At the time I never really considered the magnitude that this meeting held, as the idea of being a black person in the gaming arena and creating a game was lost on me even though I had recently created a game which is a tale for another day. Regardless of the fact being black is one thing but being a woman is another and I believe she had her hurdles to cross as those are hurdles regardless of the skills you have. Those are apparent things that many think are not there but sometimes you have to push past that and endure and make it to the end of the road. It’s a stigma that blacks are not capable of certain levels due to the negative cogitation brought about by the media and our fellow man or woman.

DAYUM!!–Cover of X-men animated series Intro by George Shaw(orchestrated)

xmen-georgeshaw

What do you do when you love an animated series and you are a musician and the series had an iconic intro theme. You do the next best thing you recreate the intro music, in the best way you know possible thus giving a sense of homage to the piece. A friend of mine that I met some time ago at GDC( Game Developer’s Conference) shared a musical piece he created which was a love of the X-men animated series and I have to say “Wow” what a delight it was to hear this splendid revision. Excellent work George Shaw you are an A grade Composer in my book. Not simply because you recreated a momentous musical piece from my youth… actually that would be a lie yes it was due to that very fact even though I knew you were a power house back when I met you at the GDC(IDGF) section yes my memory does have a location marker. I will have to pay more attention to your other pieces more often. In life the true talent sometimes get over shadowed by the breeze of others I will keep looking for more of your amazing pieces.-Cheers. As always my reader Read- watch and enjoy and always check out the rest of the content creator work follow any link back to their youtube pages and support them as I do.
