29 - Fandango? Fandango!

Happy May!

Hey there, team! There’s a new FULL episode of “Into the Score,” can you believe it? Here we are, delving deep into the Underworld and following the awesome adventures of our favourite calaca, Manny Calavera, in LucasArts’ 1998 release of “Grim Fandango” with a score by Peter McConnell.

In this episode, we also look at different influences from jazz history that McConnell used to craft the game’s score, including Duke Ellington and (most probably) Count Basie. We also dig deep into the concept of extended techniques on our instruments and how they change the natural sound of both instruments and their ensemble.

This is an episode that you do not want to miss! Enjoy!

Until next time!

Mini10 - Triumphant (or not so) Return!

Hey all,

After an unbelievable absence, there is a return… things are going to return to normal. Everything is okay, just being swamped, studios getting swamped and especially comments on the board that have really gotten me thinking - which I think is awesome. It’s important for the listeners to be critical and to put in their own ideas, because that’s part of being a good citizen, as well as a good listener :)

It’s coming back - “Dragon Quest VIII” is coming up and hopefully, you’ll get to hear it within two or three weeks!

My thanks,
Kenley

Harry Jenkins - History of Gaming

While this doesn’t really pertain to anything in regards to VGM, it’s a cool site to check out if you’re into gaming analysis or the ongoing history of video games. Also a neat section on “Dispelling Myths in Gaming”… worth a look!
