Few words can do justice to Minecraft's score. The soundtrack – an ambient electronic cloud that's equal parts vast, lonely, and melancholic – is deeply synonymous with the game itself, in much the same way you can't visualise Tetris or Mario without hearing their own themes.
Scoring Minecraft was the first breakout project of composer Daniel 'C418' Rosenfeld, and it remains his most iconic work. That's as much a blessing as a curse – chatting to Rosenfeld, I suggest trying to work beneath Minecraft's shadow must have been scary. He laughs. "My therapist could tell you a lot."
