We are disappointed that @thegameawards pushed Best Score and Music to the preshow, did not credit creators and composers, and did not play representative music. Creators of videogame music deserve better than a passing 44-second mention. #gameaudio#gamemusic#TheGameAwards

The Celeste Piano Collections are out on Friday! Here's a preview of First Steps! 🍓🎵✨
2. First Steps (Celeste Piano Collections)
First Steps perfectly encapsulates the flavor of both the game and soundtrack of Celeste—it’s an energetic, brisk introduction to the adventure that’s in store, while also hinting at darker elements..
Yep - that's the official channel we set up as a home for Toby Fox's music. We're trying something new with YouTube that will hopefully help prevent bad claims, and allow proper usage of the soundtracks in shorts/clips/etc.
Exactly one year ago, we released the UNDERTALE Piano Collections. Today, we're excited to announce the second volume: UNDERTALE Piano Collections 2! Pre-orders launch next week.
"My Burden Is Light" — Today is the release of Towards the Sun, a #OneShot concept album by @billythebard11 that mixes low-fi electronica with prog metal. 11 tracks (of course!) following Niko's journey to return the sun. Download or stream now at materia.to/towardsthesunTW

PIZZA TIME! 🍕
The Pizza Tower vinyl has emerged from its preorder cocoon and is shipping now.
Make some noise for this beauty: 2xLP 180g pizza splatter and black discs, gatefold jacket, art by McPig, and melodies by Mr. Sauceman, ClascyJitto, and Post Elvis.
Hey Vinesauce! This isn't a claim we implemented - and we don't manage the rights for the melody. YouTube claims melodies like this on its own, or on behalf of publishers like Nintendo.
It's actually using our cover version incorrectly to identify what it thinks is a copyrighted melody. Please send an email to info@materiacollective.com and our team will try to look into this further.
The official Hollow Knight Piano Collections album, in collaboration with composer Christopher Larkin and Team Cherry, arranger David Peacock, and pianist Augustine Mayuga Gonzales.
While we have long admired GameChops and their artists, we removed their catalog from Materia's bandcamp today, after 2 years of managing albums, licensing, etc.
Last weekend, GameChops set albums to $0/pay-what-you-want. Had we been consulted, we would have said no. Here's why:
Epic arrangements, live choir, screaming guitar solos, and haunting vocal lines: Resurrection of the Night: Alucard's Elegy, our crowdfunded tribute album to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is out today! 🦇⚰️🎶🖤🎉

NieR: Become as Gods takes ROZEN+REVEN back to NieR: Automata. Since their first foray into NieR music, the duo have leveled up their production, and the sound is darker, more mature, and more polished; thanks in large part to the wealth of collaborators they've brought in. 📜

shayy it's late, go to bed
This is not our claim, we didn't place it, we don't want it, we can't control it; YouTube uses dozens of cover songs to identify melodies to place claims by third party music rights organizations like IPRS, as they can (rightfully) claim and collect royalties.
it's *technically* a valid claim: IPRS controls sync/performance music rights and administration in their territory(ies) for any and all music, including UT/DR
This is what happens when we (Materia Music Publishing / @MateriaMusicPub) minimize our claim thresholds: international music societies who have more aggressive claim and collection policies than us will get priority on YouTube, and they show up as the claimant instead of Materia.
Our ***only*** option is to manually override disputed claims and help resolve, on a per video basis, which we do, for thousands of UT/DR videos daily, and have done for nearly 2 million videos
You know the drill, dispute and email us so we can override and fix it.
And, go email your YouTube partner / MCN / whomstever rep and tell them to fix game music rights claim process on cid

The music to @PizzaTowergame by composers @Mister_Sauceman@ClascyJitto@PostElvis is getting a full premium vinyl release on black and pepperoni splatter discs!
2xLP 180g discs, comes in a gatefold jacket designed by McPig and Isa Alcántara.
We are disappointed that @thegameawards pushed Best Score and Music to the preshow, did not credit creators and composers, and did not play representative music. Creators of videogame music deserve better than a passing 59-second mention. #TheGameAwards
We're all for giving back to the community, but that shouldn’t come at the cost of creators being paid for their work. Unlicensed commercial albums that don't benefit the people who make them go against everything we stand for.
We are proud to announce the release of the official Celeste Piano Collections ✨🎵🍓

GameChops didn't ask their artists first. Also, “pay-what-you-want” is complicated when it comes to albums that require licensing — as is the Content ID situation. GameChops told us they would not be paying future royalties to artists OR composers.
