Day 21: Spinoff Game - Theme from a spinoff game 🎮 Mario Kart: Double Dash!! "Vacation in the Mushroom Kingdom" 🎵 Juke 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR04070 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 21: Spinoff Game "Road Less Taken" by Atsushi Kitajoh Legit PQ2 probably has the best soundtrack in the entire series and I do not say that lightly. youtu.be/PThXcY3sSQA?...

Had the realization that we're slightly less than two years away from our show being ten years old That sends a chill down my spine

Day 10: Set in the Past - Theme from a game that takes place in the past 🎮 Assassin's Creed Odyssey "Poseidon at the Cinema" 🎵 Malcos 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR04120 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 10: Set in the Past "Trouble Shooting Star" by ZENTA Always been one of my favorite fight themes in the game. I should replay Yakuza 0... The non Director's Cut of course. youtu.be/Aa8-SCCACDo?...

Day 19: SNES Era - Theme from a game that released during the SNES era 🎮 7th Saga "Seven Songs for Seventh Saga: IV. Sky" 🎵 AeroZ 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR03098 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 19: SNES Era "Schala's Theme" by Yasunori Mitsuda Probably one of my favorite pieces of all time, absolutely gorgeous and melancholy and wonderful. youtu.be/CRZQAJfVX3c?...

✨Happy 1 Year Anniversary to Sunken Stones✨ Last year I had the honour to ship this game with @spritewrench.com Join in the celebration by supporting store.steampowered.com/app/2601810/... #gamedev

Day 18: Sequel-Worthy - Theme from a game that you think should get a sequel 🎮 Alisia Dragoon "Halls of Abandonment" 🎵 LastUnicron 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR00928 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 18: Sequel Worthy "Every Day is Night" by Garoad Does it count if a sequel was announced and then just sorta disappeared...? youtu.be/H-AfGh8gmiQ?...

Day 17: Simulator Game - Theme from a simulator game 🎮 Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) "Above the Borders" 🎵 tibonev 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR04956 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 17: Simulation Game "Ursidae Joy" by J.J. Ipsen I know it's cliche to say but there was no reason to go this hard on the music for the zoo management game, but god damn am I glad they did, this song absolutely kicks ass youtu.be/8sf3snwzHEg?...

@barsilencevgm.bsky.social Heya, do you happen to have a place I can contact you? Even if it's just in DMs, my DMs are open!

Day 16: Demon Days - Theme related to demons, or from a game about demons 🎮 Demon's Crest "Metropolis Pt. 3: Scenes from a Demon Realm" 🎵 Megalixir 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR03123 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 16: Demon Days "The King's Magnum Opus" by M.R. Miller I really dig how this song works narratively, especially phase 2 where it starts out mocking Beebz and by phase 3 it has been completely overtaken by her confidence and how bad she's kicking your ass youtu.be/kkWV3tNKlsc?...

So like an hour before we recorded this, I had an epiphany about how Star Fox 64 is scored from a narrative perspective rather than a level theming perspective (which is pretty unique for 1997) and I was pretty excited to talk about it.

AVAILABLE NOW: We are joined by @jtsknight92.bsky.social of @nintendonwr.bsky.social to talk about the music in his favorite series, Star Fox! There's a lot of fun in this talk, you don't wanna miss this! anondino.squarespace.com/pixel/05-rai...

So right now the considerations I'm looking at for this are @crtsoundsystem.bsky.social @shujinacademy.bsky.social @barsilencevgm.bsky.social and A VGM Journey, with the idea that I'd possibly do another one in the future (maybe next year) Iunno, I'm still in the "reaching out" phase, sort of

So basically the reason I ask this is: I would like to do an episode where I bring on hosts of other VGM podcasts for shorter interviews as a way to get to know my peers in the space, if that makes sense. I've historically been very bad at networking but maybe this time!

Hey, are you (or anyone you know) in game dev + a superfan of any of these VGM soundtracks??? (expand the image for the list) VGM pod @crtsoundsystem.bsky.social wants guests! Ping @forpush.bsky.social to join them & talk nerdy about game music or suggest more games www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN9w...

That is a hell of a lineup, lemme tell ya

TOMORROW: I sit down with @jtsknight92.bsky.social to talk Star Fox music! And a bunch of other things but at least 60% of it is about Star Fox I promise! It's one of my favorite episodes so far, I hope you're looking forward to it

Day 15: Remix Theme - Theme that's a remix of an existing track, official or fanmade 🎮 Line Defense "Reversing the Alien Attack" 🎵 Stam (arrangement made by the original composer) 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR03678 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 15: Remix Theme "Alter KFP Stadium" originally by Takanashi Kiara, arranged by BobTheGUYYYYY God this song gets me, it gets me real bad. I'm not even that big of a fan of the song it's based on but this arrangement and its emotional context in game are that good! youtu.be/mb677S-U-ZE?...

Day 14: Mobile Game - Theme from a game that released on a mobile device 🎮 Fire Emblem Heroes "Heroes of the Tempest" 🎵 jnWake feat. minusworld, Barbell Yaga 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR05009 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 14: Mobile Game "Gregorius | Symphony" by Mitsukiyo I wish there was an official version with his finale because the finale is really cool, but this song still kicks all kinds of ass youtu.be/LvSuEqpq_TM?...

Day 13: Unusual Instruments - Theme made with unique sounds and instruments 🎮 Legend of Zelda "Zelda Heineken" 🎵 Mattias Holmgren (made with a Heineken bottle) 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR01845 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 13: Unusual Instruments "My Heaven" by Akira Yamaoka Not every game can say its main instrument for the final boss theme is a sampled dental drill. Should go without saying but, fair warning, the result is DEEPLY unpleasant (on purpose). youtu.be/AMIvMdCL2H4?...

It's late, I apologize, but the next episode of Pixel Symphonic is now live for paid members on the Patreon! For everybody else it'll be out as scheduled on Thursday! Thank you for your patience! www.patreon.com/posts/163634...

Day 12: Bandai-Namco Game - Theme from a Bandai-Namco game 🎮 Dark Souls III "All for One" 🎵 RoeTaKa 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR03598 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 12: Bandai Namco Game "Red Rose With Gin & Tonic" by Asuka Sakai Best song on the best soundtrack, what else could I possibly use today youtu.be/4QuI_wh49J8?...

Day 11: Shop Theme "Satomi Tadashi Pharmacy's Theme 2009" by Shoji Meguro Look the game sucks but this theme's disgustingly catchy, I'll give them that youtu.be/g_RuzkchLvE?...

Day 20: Set in the Future - Theme from a game that takes place in the future 🎮 Remember Me (+ Deus Ex) "Errorize" 🎵 timaeus222 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR03473 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 10-er Day 20: Set in the Future "Labyrinth V - Lost Shinjuku" by Yuzo Koshiro Kind of a spoiler but also the original is almost 20 years old and the remake gives it away like an hour in. This song is gorgeous and I had to use it! Sue me! youtu.be/imnmNtECuBk?...

Watch the full video here of what inspired me to finally do this. Vote with your wallet. youtu.be/7aoaqy6nEjs?... #videogamecomposer

Attorney fees to sue Spotify would costs the upper millions. Not even Drake could sustain it. However, being and staying vocal as well as bringing cognizance to these unjust practices of independent artist is the pay back. 🔽

ICYMI last week, I shared a video about how Spotify has stopped paying me royalties from my video game music soundtracks for close to three years ever since they moved the goal post. (e.g. 1:30 or less in music) These practices cannot continue. 🔽

Day 8: The Year XXX8 - Theme from a game that released in a year that ends in 8 🎮 Ninja Gaiden (1988, JP) "The Cost of Vengeance" 🎵 Vijay van der Weijden feat. Job Wijkamp 🎧 ocremix.org/remix/OCR03604 bsky.app/profile/zant...

Day 8: The Year XXX8 "Main Theme - Super Smash Bros. Brawl" by Nobuo Uematsu (2008) It's basically the reason I'm here! What a theme! youtu.be/zeKE0NHUtUw?...

Day 7: Friend's Fave Gotta go fast I suppose youtu.be/_SUlc1ndFbQ?...

@insaneintherainmusic.com Hi! Is there any way I could get in contact with you privately? Even just a DM would suffice, mine are open if that's okay!

July's episode of Pixel Symphonic features @jtsknight92.bsky.social of @nintendonwr.bsky.social, he's the biggest Star Fox fan I know and I wanted to celebrate the series' return by talking to him about its music. Hear it early this Thursday on the Patreon (just $1), otherwise see you on July 16th!

Day 6: Short Game - Interface [Dispatch] The winner of this year's Force Zantok to Play a Game Poll and a game I thoroughly enjoyed. Not just the characters and overall setting, but the actual dispatching minigame itself.
