Daniel Rosenfeld (born May 9, 1989) is a German musician and sound engineer best known as the composer and sound designer for the computer game ''Minecraft''. His music is generally published under the name C418 (pronounced "see-four-one-eight"). Rosenfeld was born and grew up in East Germany after reunification, and the economic realities of the region limited his resources to learn audio composition . He says he learned on early versions of Schism Tracker and Ableton Live, which were both rudimentary tools at the time.〔Keith Stuart, (How Daniel Rosenfeld wrote Minecraft's music ), The Guardian, 7 November 2014.〕 Learning under such restrictions turned out to help the young composer when he began collaborating with ''Minecraft'' creator Markus "Notch" Persson. The sound engine in the game was not very powerful, so Rosenfeld had to be creative in his approach to sound effects and music.〔 As a freelance artist, Rosenfeld was not on staff at Mojang,〔Luke Plunkett, (The Soothing Sounds Of...Minecraft? ), Kotaku, 9 March 2011.〕 the game company behind ''Minecraft'', which was sold to Microsoft in 2014. Rosenfeld says he still owns the rights to all the music in the game,〔Charlie Hall, (Minecraft's composer discusses Mojang's unreleased game, Notch's departure ), Polygon, 18 September 2014.〕 having released two albums featuring songs from the soundtrack.〔 The first soundtrack, ''Minecraft – Volume Alpha'', was released on March 4, 2011. The video game blog ''Kotaku'' selected the music of ''Minecraft'' as one of the best video game soundtracks of 2011. On November 9, 2013, Rosenfeld released the second official soundtrack, titled ''Minecraft – Volume Beta'', which includes the music that was added in later versions of the game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Minecraft'' Volume Beta on Bandcamp )〕 ''Minecraft - Volume Alpha'' found its first release in physical format on Ghostly International in 2015.〔 Persson and Rosenfeld teamed up again after ''Minecraft''s success in the creation of a new game titled ''0x10c'', but the game was never released, with Persson halting production in August 2013. Rosenfeld released an album featuring his work on the project in September 2014. The album was released digitally with little publicity; Rosenfeld simply sent out a tweet stating that it was available.〔Andy Chalk, (Minecraft composer releases 0x10c tracks, muses on Notch's departure from Mojang ), PC Gamer, 17 September 2014.〕 In addition to game soundtracks, Rosenfeld composes his own independent music. He has released a large amount of music on his Bandcamp page, but he has only officially released two LPs other than the ''Minecraft'' soundtracks: ''72 Minutes Of Fame'' and ''one''.〔 He says he does not seek fame and he struggles with public attention, such as critical comments from his large group of followers on Twitter.〔 ''The Guardian'' has compared his compositions to those of Brian Eno and Erik Satie because of their ambient quality.〔 ==Discography== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daniel Rosenfeld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
