Good evening, listeners! While Manitoba may be hit with a torrent of snow, thaw (and subsequent flooding), the March episode of “Into the Score” is finally up, focusing on Takeharu Ishimoto’s dynamic score to the 2008 release of Square Enix’s “Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.” In this episode, we focus on the music from the game, the legacy of Final Fantasy VII and it’s compilation titles, with Crisis Core receiving particular focus. Musically, we’re going to to work on thematic material from the game, remixing, the string quartet and Ishimoto’s departure from traditional “Final Fantasy” orchestration while still staying to musically true to the series.
We ALSO have two sets of guests for this episode! Our first set are two of the higher-ups from VGM remixing community, OverClocked ReMix! To speak about remixing and OCR’s place in the VGM environment, we have founder and head of submissions, David W. Lloyd (”djpretzel”) and Larry Oji (”liontamer”), respectively.
For a roundtable to discussion to cap off this month’s show, we have Kyle Wynen and Laren McFadden from the FXN Final Fantasy XIII podcast. This discussion is insightful, exciting and musical, to say the least!
We have a great show this month, make sure not to miss it!

Welcome to March, listeners! After a three-month hiatus, “Into the Score” is back on the town and we are ready to go! This month, we study the Sony sound team’s 2005 score to “God of War” for the PlayStation 2, as well as studying the beginning of Western tuning, the work of Pythagoras, as well as orchestration and thematic use in the game’s score!
Thanks for listening and for your patience! Enjoy!

Good evening, listeners! While this is not a “podcast” in the traditional sense, it’s an update as to why there is no episode for December… and as it’s looking, for January either… yikes! Watch the video and check it out!

Happy November, listeners! I hope that it was stellar and the beautiful fall is drifting into a clear and ivory winter
For this month’s episode, we jump into a 1995 score that made a huge impact in the VGM community, if not as a breakout hit, then as a cult classic. The game is EarthBound and its score was composed by Keiichi Suzuki and Hirokazu (”Hip”) Tanaka! So excited, can’t wait to talk with you all about it!
We also have guests on the show! The Canadian VGM jazz combo, “The Runaway Five” is on the show to talk with us about their group, their connection with EarthBound and we get to hear some of their music! To boost this concept up, our big idea is the jazz combo!
Definitely leave your comments on the post - always love hearing from you!
Have a fantastic December, see you at the end of the month
