Miracle Of Sound began as a hobby during a lull in Gavin Dunne's music career. After playing ''VideoGame/{{Half-Life 2}}'' he began thinking of song lyrics related to Gordon Freeman, the protagonist. He wrote it all down, recorded it and released it onto the net. After seeing the mild popularity of the song, Dunne wrote and released more. This side project quickly became popular after his well-known [[VideoGame/MassEffect Commander Shepard]] song was released. Soon afterwards, his show was picked up by TheEscapist for a monthly music video, with a monthly behind-the-scenes article called "Encore".

!! Tropes associated with Gavin 'Miracle of sound' Dunne include:
* AuthorAppeal: Loves to layer his vocals, experiment with non-mainstream genres and tends to default to or infuse things with metal. Also Skyrim.
* {{Auto-Tune}}: Averted, in that the artist has never used it and has gone on multiple rants saying that it is one of the biggest problems with today's music industry.
* BalladOfX: Did one for [[GearsOfWar Clayton Carmine]]
* BerserkButton: Do ''not'' accuse him of using auto-tune.
* BookEnds: The song [[MassEffect Commander Shepard]] starts with the lyrics ''From Omega to Mars''. for the third and final installment of the series, [[MassEffect3 Take It Back]]'s ending chorus has ''From Omega to Mars'' as background vocals.
* DrunkenSong: He made a song about these for [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]], Nord Mead.
* EvilLaugh: He pulls a particularly magnificent one in Joker's Song. You'd be forgiven for mistaking it to have come from [[TheJoker the man]] [[MarkHamill himself.]]
* FakeBand: As Gavin cannot play the drums well, he imports the notes he needs electronically.
** Although that's the only instrument that's not recorded "live". If he needs say, a saxophone, he hires a damn guy for the part.
* FilkSong: He creates songs based on games he loves. One distinguishing aspect of his work is that he uses completely new music, rather than repurposing other music with new lyrics.
* IAmTheBand: He does all work on the music himself, without assistance from other musicians, but for a few exceptions, such as [[VideoGame/LANoire Sweet L.A.]].
* LastNoteHilarity: Most notably used in his [[FalloutNewVegas Fallout: New Vegas]] song, ''Trip to Vegas'', where it ends with the song stuttering and '[[GameBreakingBug crashing to desktop]],' with Gavin saying "God dammit, not again" In AffectionateParody of how many people, the artist included, experienced many [[GameBreakingBug problems like crashes and freezes]].
* {{Machinima}}: Uses game footage from the game the song is about as a music video accompaniment to the song.
* OdeToIntoxication: [[http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/miracle-of-sound/5350-Nord-Mead-Skyrim Nord Mead]] is essentially an in-character [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Nord]] ode to [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin mead]].
* TheRockStar: [[http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v104/170/83/788370433/n788370433_901561_2155.jpg He used to be one.]]
* SelfBackingVocalist: As a one man band, most of his songs use multiple layers on the vocals. Especially prevalent in [[BioShock Little Sister]].
* SingleStanzaSong: [[http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebF6Fqhq1P4 Beauty Bleak]] features only three lines. ''Sterile soil will harden. Wasted world, my garden. Beauty bleak in a wasted world''
* SingingVoiceDissonance: He sings with an American accent, but in interviews he speaks with whimsical Irish accent. He has explained this to the fans who think he's [[FakeIrish putting it on]]. (Especially after ''Nord Mead'', in which he uses his natural accent.)
* TitleDrop: The majority of his song titles feature in the lyrics, usually the chorus.
