Goodness me, I'd heard of tinnitus becoming permanent before but... I guess I never expected it in someone so young. I don't know what to say that won't sound patronising other than to wish you the very best for the future.
Thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions; it's always brilliant to see into the world of creative people and better understand the processes and overall madness that occurs! With regards to your making music because you feel you have no talent elsewhere, it's a sentiment with which I can empathise completely, although my outlet is in writing.
Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you too, Gav. May 2013 hold many more memorable moments for you.

Good to listen to all the answers and an albeit rather late Merry Christmas and a not late Happy New Year to you too.
Can't wait to perhaps listen to some of the non-video game/film stuff, I'm sure it'll be as good.

It's not cool to like U2?! I know Bono can be insufferable at times, but you can't deny that the music is great!
OT: Oh yes! And thank you for answering our questions.
Forgot about that considering how... Really?!? I mean, REALLY?!? I think they're great, and my musical tastes tend to not mesh well with other people's tastes, but REALLY?!? D:

A very interesting watch, I thank you for it. (Though I must confess a slight bitterness to not hear my own question, I guess that is natural)
A lovely christmas to you, and happy new years Gav, may it bring many happy memories and little wiggling of the sticks. <3

Darn it, Gav! It's hard to control the groupie feeling when you're so accesible and downright cool. I can't begin to imagine having permanent Tinnitus, so I'll just wish from here that it goes away. Each organism is different and sometimes these conditions suddenly vanish. Lets hope that's the case.
Merry (Late) Christmas and a Happy new year to you too. I'll look forward to hearing your old material.

Hey, It's nice to hear you. It is sad to hear about your condition, but if you can learn to live with it so it wouldn't affect your life too much, then I hope you will.
P.S. I don't know if you were joking about Cyberpunk, but I AM sending message to CD Projekt Red, to mr. Masiej Sosnowski to be exact, right now. And you, escapists, do so too. Let's unite great game studio, fantastic musician and on of the best settings into one!

That's really sad news Gav. I hope you can tolerate it well in the future.
And I personally forgot Wiggle Sticks almost immediately after I heard it, but Sovngarde(?) Song has always stuck with me. I guess I'm more fond of epic than quirky.

It's always cool to get a look into a creative mind.
I just looked up Wiggle Sticks but, in my opinion, it tapped into the zeitgeist where the Wii and Kinect and Move were all 'the next big thing!' but also underwhelming. If one can have a song that expresses that underwhelment of course it's going to be popular!

"What is the strangest/most awkward interaction or feedback you've gotten with/from a fan."MiracleOfSound said:
Not a word for word quote, but that is the gist of it. Hehe. I always find it fun to ask people I like what they find really weird. I remember Yahtzee talking about meeting a fan that was cosplaying as him. Must've been awkward.
Ah, well I get quite a lot of awkward stuff. But the one that seems to pop up the most is when people want to pay me to make a song about them or their content and I don't want to because I feel it is low quality. People don't really get that money doesn't always come before pride. Also there are sometimes moments when people want to know strange things like where I live, and stuff about my sex life, lol.Roofstone said:
Oh my lord. I do get the sex life one occasionally from my students. But if they started inquiring about where I live I think an alarm bell would ring.MiracleOfSound said:
Considering the first one, I imagine they think it is like commissioning art work of characters and such. Though music is obviously a bit more thought and process involved. It'd probably end up with worse than usual quality. Or insulting...
There is an idea. You should totally make a insulting song about the escapist people... Don't tell anyone you're doing it and post it on the 1st of April. :3
Edit: Thanks for answering by the way! Nice to know that you look at the comments and care. Makes us feel appreciated. <3
Thank you So much Gavin for taking the time to reply to fans and let everyone know how your doing. I just thought I should let you know that I wish you all the best and that there were times in my life where I thought it was just hell and really felt angry, but your songs helped raise my spirirs on anyday. Your music really helped me through a tough time in my life and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hey Gavin,
Thanks for doing the video! Great to see Miracle of Sound stuff come out, be it music, articles or videos like this.
I was delighted to hear that your tinnitus (boo on that!) isn't going to stop you doing what you love- sure, I'd be pretty upset if there wasn't more Miracle of Sound stuff coming out, but music seems to be your vocation, and to be absolutely in love with your artform is a special thing.
I've said this before, but I always feel pretty smug knowing I got to see you play at Warpcon last year and have a bit of chat as well!
I think your fans, myself included, really appreciate how much time and effort you take to stay in touch with us and share stuff like this with us.
Can't wait to listen to your new stuff in 2013!

Ya gave me a few good laughs. Thanks!
Glad the tinnitus isn't getting you too down. Hope to hear/see some more of your music soon.
May next year be better for ya than this year.
Not that this year was all bad.

That was really interesting, thanks Gav! I didn't ask a question as I couldn't come up with anything >_> But everyone else came up with great ones anyway =)
I especially liked hearing about your father; would love to read some of his work!
Glad that the tinnitus is getting easier to live with, and looking forward to an MoS-filled 2013!=D
PS. I bought Sleeping Dogs because of your tweets about it and would just like to say thanks; I'm having great fun!

Hey great video Gavin. Did you record the audio with the microphone shown in the video? I ask because I'm needing to setup a microphone for recording voice. It's something similar to a podcast, and I'm thinking about getting a cardioid microphone similar to yours. I need to know how to put it on the room to get my voice and not pickup ambient noise.
Pretty much right after I sent in my question, I thought of a few better questions. Some of which you answered here.
Also, once more I feel that my username is lame thanks to all the cool ones mentioned in the vid.
Ah well. Least I can say I introduced Mr. Sound and Miss Rachael to NYC pizza. WHO ELSE CAN CLAIM THAT? NOT YOU COOL USERNAME SHLUBS, THAT'S WHO!
*cough* Maybe I should put the caffeine down for a while.
