Treat it like a musical instrument, perhaps.

The January addition of musical blocks to Minecraft encouraged someone to create a block arrangement that could play the theme song for Portal 2. Not bad.

For comparison, here is the original composition from Darren Aranofsky’s movie, composed by Clint Mansell. (Gamers, Mansell is also scoring Mass Effect 3).
