  • John Hancock was a pianist that heard some game music and thought “I could do that”. He started out struggling to type music in assembly and evolved into a dubby techno powerhouse, far from his home base of “piano”. Today, we’re looking at this journey.

    I am a piano guy and this video gave me chills. He is definitely overlooked. His music should be highly appreciated by multiple generations. Such a talented man. Inspiring me to go for the long game regardless the outcome.

    I love the Mercury games. It's unfortunate he shares his name with not only a famous US revolutionary war figure, but also other composers. I hope this video shines light on him. May he rest in peace.

      Yeah. even his contributions to commercial albums are buried behind ambiguity: His discogs page is mixed with John Hancock of Late Night Alumni. :\

    A very talented individual that I wasn't aware of until now. What wonderful music! Thank you for shining a light on such an amazing musician. RIP

    Rest in Peace! Gotta go and listen to his sports tunes!

    Could you feature "Kevin Collier"? He worked mostly on the Amiga, for Firebird and some Psygnosis, I think he's underrated, he was able to make generic rock sound amazing (Harley-Davidson) as well as make the most brutally intense music for the Amiga (Savage).

    Fantastic mix and tribute! I've actually played the hell out of Mercury back in the day didn't realize who made the music. Hope John is resting easy

    Amazing mix, thanks for showing such a fantastic composer! RIP

    I would have never thought he was the composer of Barcelona '92 *and* Mercury, which I have both played! It makes me happy that Mercury's music got praised that much by the people he worked for, he definitely deserved recognition for such a titanic job.

    I had to do a double take when I saw World Cup USA was running in Swedish, it's weird that a game about football in America would even have that option

    • @GSTChannelVEVO
      @GSTChannelVEVO  Год назад +1

      Yeah I have no idea why my game was set to Swedish, lol

    John composed one of my favourite OSTs on the Sega Mega Drive, Lillehammer '94 - I love that game, and the music is a massive part of it. I have the Biathlon theme stuck in my head right now!

    I take it this is not the same John Hancock as the "immortal john Hancock" famous in Sega collector circles haha

      I found his son's channel, and from there, found a comment with the news.

  • @TrueNeutralEvGenius
    @TrueNeutralEvGenius Год назад

    Yeah, he could do that. Quite as many. I mean no offence, but pretty mediocre composer in my book. Still I respect his workd. Didn't know he passed away. RIP.

      You do mean offense. Don’t be dense. Just take it elsewhere.
