• Track Listing

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 it's first pressing

in 2020. Originally self-released in 2013, the

collection features tracks that were "silently" added

to Minecraft during it's 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.
