Sound of Play: 21

Here's the latest podcast all about our favourite videogame music – Sound of Play.

For many of us, it’s hard to think of almost any videogame without our minds conjuring up the music that accompanied it. Over the decades they’ve evolved from simplistic monaural beeps and bloops to full orchestral scores recorded in 7.1 surround, but from their earliest days right up to today, soundtracks have played an integral part of our memories of the games we played, and the times in our lives when we were playing them. What we aim to bring you with Sound of Play is a diverse sample of our favourites pieces from the many air-punching, spine-tingling, tear-jerking and grin-inducing videogame soundtracks we’ve heard over the years.

This show’s presenters were: Leon Cox, Joshua Garrity and Nick Parton

Community contributors were: Limity 1603 and Ideology Lite.

A couple insights on this show were straight to the heart for me:

I found what Nick said about chiptunes acting as the great leveler for genres parallel to my own experience. Also I'm as mystified by musicians and composers as Josh is, they're all wizards to me.
