Most of the _ensnare_ tracks are somehow related to Starcraft (yes, I really am that nerdy) and there is a fairly well-known Korean Terran player called Ensnare. I wanted a NEW name under which I might release some chiptune, so _ensnare_ was born. Nervous_testpilot is a name I’ve been using for electronic music since I was 16! It’s definitely stuck – sometimes people shout it at me in the street (not very often) so it would be foolish to abandon it now.

What’s in a name? (Specifically your two performance alter-egos) Paul, who goes by nervous_testpilot when performing electronic music (and _ensnare_ for chiptune side projects), was kind enough to answer some interview questions for us: Not only was it an excellent game, it also featured an amazing soundtrack that was done totally in-house by Paul Taylor, the co-owner of Mode 7 Games. There is always room for an exception though, and Frozen Synapse was just that. Most studios just don’t have the personnel to have a music department, especially when 3 or 4 people are pulling multiple duties on the rest of the game.

And there are certainly indie games with great soundtracks, but even in those cases where more time is spent on the music, the production is usually outsourced. A slightly generic music selection is tolerable, especially if the core gameplay is outstanding. Innovative gameplay and concepts at lower prices are what enamor players to indie games, and typically those players can handle other aspects of the game being rough around the edges. As a result, indie games have carved out quite a place for themselves, and it isn’t going away any time soon. Players get a chance to experience a wider variety of games, while publishers have to pump less money into studios (if the indie devs go through a publisher at all). In an industry that is seeing some dissent to the usual big budget, high price point standard of AAA titles, the attractiveness of more price conscious games made on shorter cycles with smaller teams cannot be denied. In many ways we have entered the age of indie games. Enjoy the following latest multiplayer trailer of Frozen Synapse.The killer soundtrack behind Mode 7's game, also featuring an interview with the mastermind behind the music. Drawing from a diverse musical palette that’s fused with hypnotic, electronic soundscapes, trance, pop, and the modern technological landscape, the works of nervous_testpilot capture both atmosphere and melody, making for a unique musical experience with global appeal.” Those interested can purchase the game (and its soundtrack) via Steam.
