  ---------------------

  "Welcome to Music from The Maze of Games, an album for the interactive puzzle novel
  of the same name by me and artist Pete Venters. I asked Austin to compose music
  that you could listen to as you read each of the six chapters of the novel. It grew
  into something more than that. As you partake in the auditory wonders, I encourage
  you to pay close attention to the compositions herein. Like with The Maze of Games,
  once you get in, it can be tricky to get out."

  —Mike Selinker

  As Mike so beautifully alludes to above, my involvement in The Maze of Games vastly
  surpassed any of my initial expectations. This project began as a simple conversation
  of "what ifs" regarding the intersection of an elaborately thought-out novel of
  puzzles with music of a similar flavor. What resulted was a series of arias that
  bent my mind further than anything else I could name. And what pure joy it was!
  Mike is without question one of the most brilliant and clever minds I''ve had the
  pleasure of working with.

  I must also offer the highest praise to my cast of musicians here. The two core
  instrumentalists, Serena McKinney and Charissa Barger, delivered outstanding performances
  despite a grueling recording session of unrelentingly difficult music. Likewise,
  the additional musicians all credited below, stepping in briefly for each individual
  aria, played their parts beautifully. It''s hard to describe the magic of seeing
  something pour out of a group like this, made seemingly so easy, and yet knowing
  how nightmarishly difficult it actually is.

  And no amount of praise could sufficiently do justice to the achievement here of
  Holly Sedillos. I have had the privilege of working with her for several years now,
  but never has she impressed like this. These are sort of insanely difficult arias
  to sing, and as you''ll hear, she navigated as only few could: with both precision
  and elegance, and an abundance of personality.

  Times like this that I realize I''m a damn lucky guy.'
