Baranowsky first came into contact with
video game music in 2001, when he became a member of online game remix community
OverClocked ReMix. At this time, Baranowsky was hoping to become a
film composer. When
Adam Saltsman, who would later develop
Canabalt, sent Baranowsky an incomplete version of
Gravity Hook, which Saltsman intended to keep free of music, Baranowsky decided to write a track for it anyway. When Baranowsky sent "Track A" back to Saltsman, he was really impressed by the music. After finishing the soundtrack of
Gravity Hook, Saltsman introduced Baranowsky to
Edmund McMillen, for whom he later composed the soundtrack of
Super Meat Boy and
The Binding of Isaac. He co-composed
Desktop Dungeons with
Grant Kirkhope and composed the entirety of the
Crypt of the Necrodancer soundtrack. Baranowsky moved from his native Arizona to
Vancouver, British Columbia to work for independent developer Brace Yourself Games, composing the soundtracks of their games
Industries of Titan and
Cadence of Hyrule. ==Reception==
