A Fond Farewell

[1]

Hey all. Long time no talk. As many of you already know, I haven’t been involved with the site for some time. I’ve moved on to other ventures, the latest of which is Scarlet Moon Productions [2], a new record label and PR company that will focus on the same types of things I’d done on OSV and DESTRUCTOID: making sure people are hearing the great music coming out of videogames.

While I haven’t been involved, I have been reaching out to OSV writers Brenna Wilkes and Michael Hoffmann, who will now be managing the site, to work on coverage of clients I’m working with and on albums that I’ll be publishing on my label. I thought it would be appropriate to post a formal farewell to the front page to ensure there was no confusion as to what my status was with the site, and to dispel any potential conflicts of interest. The keys are being fully turned over to Brenna and Michael, and, like the rest of you, I’ll only be dropping in to read articles and comment.

I want to say thank you for all the support over the years and for your continued support. I had a blast with the site, and look forward to seeing what a new team of writers are able to do with it. I hope the stuff I’m working on with Scarlet Moon Productions is worthy of continuing coverage on OSV, so I’ll hopefully still be in touch with you all, but in a different way.

With that, enjoy some early drafts of logos that I prepared for OSV back in 2008 on a plane ride back home after spending time with Dale trying to work out the launch of the site. If you look closely, you can see they were drawn on the back of my boarding pass.

So long, Jayson, and best of luck. I haven’t commented much on this site, but I’ve been a long time VGM follower, and I appreciate all your efforts here and elsewhere. Thanks for everything.

As the 2012 “interim manager” who let the site flounder in 2013, I couldn’t be happier to see that Brenna and Michael are ready to take on the mantle.

Jayson, I’m so very psyched about Scarlet Moon. More Korean game soundtracks in America, YES PLEASE! (among other things of course)

Good luck and thanks for the great memories!
