Yeah, so I opened my Electronic Gaming Monthly (American gaming magazine) today and what do I find but an article on music inspired by videogames and Owen is mentioned. It's only a paragraph regurgitating others but I just found this awesome.

Sounds like: Urgent spacefaring classical
Arcade Fire violinist Owen Pallett brings his love of Final Fantasy VI-- "because it's the only one with female leads," he says-- to a project appropriately named Final Fantasy. It took flight when, on a whim, Owen plugged his violin into a looping pedal and started "farting around". The result is a stirring, hysterical form of string classical that perfectly complements any role-playing lifestyle. "Videogames are about creating an alternate universe and immersing the player within," says Pallett. "I like that and try to write about things that don't exist but deserve songs." Final Fantasy is currently on tour in Europe and working on a follow-up to this year's album, He Poos Clouds.
