Minecraft music just hits different. Or does it?
Why is it that the Minecraft music Soundtrack has the power to convert even non-gamers like me into the church of the one and only C418? In this video we will explore the impact of Minecraft music, including "Minecraft, Volume Alpha" and why, ten years after its release, it is still regarded as the best album of 2011 by many, as well as one the best modern ambient soundtracks of our time.
We'll finally figure out why everyone-you and me included-has been so obsessed with the Minecraft Soundtrack for the last 10 years.
Are we all just wearing nostalgia goggles and thinking back about the tunes that made the good old times, or is this really SO GOOD?
Join me to ponder the virtues and limitations of video game music in this classic Sets and the CD video essay, and let's hope I don't anger too many Dream Stans in lieu of my ignorance.

What is the purpose of music? It makes moments of our lives simply... better. It exists as a soundtrack of our own lives. Regardless of the setting. It paints a picture as vivid as a photograph, through sound. All we need is a single note, chord progression or melody to give a whole new meaning to every moment. Even the most boring and mundane. But what happens when the music and the setting come packaged together? That's another existential question gamers and critics alike ask themselves whenever they see the Minecraft soundtrack as the #1 album for 2011, was it rally that good?
German composer C418 may have the answer as we subvert all of your expectations in this Minecraft Music video essay. C418, real name Daniel Rosenfeld, had no interest in adhering to expectations. He began making music in 2003 after his brother introduced him to Ableton Live, a program program so easy to master "even idiots can make music." Believing himself to meet that threshold, he starts creating endlessly. He saw it as a jigsaw puzzle, putting them next to each other to see if they worked. This way, it makes sense that these songs are there, but we wouldn't know if we listened to the album alone, because it sounds like one whole.
