Alex recounts a tale of woe to Mike and Vince, but this one has a happy ending... and it doesn't even involve compressor plugins, for once! Notable mentions include: Logitech MX Vertical Mouse - https://www.logitech.com/en-us/products/mice/mx-vertical-ergonomic-mouse.910-005447.html Civilization V- https://civilization.com/civilization-5/ The Umbrella Academy - https://www.netflix.com/title/80186863 Gran Turismo 7- https://www.gran-turismo.com/ art of rally - https://www.artofrally.com/ Toy Matinee - https://music.apple.com/us/artist/toy-matinee/334815553 Featuring: Alex May, Vincent Diamante, Michael Shapiro Recorded February 24, 2023

Composer Vincent Diamante's music for Sky: Children of the Light is gentle, gorgeous and uplifting. The palette is mostly orchestral, especially in the early volumes of the soundtrack (there are 4 volumes, currently). The game is from thatgamecompany, known for its brilliantly designed indie games such as Journey, Flower and Flow. Vincent composed for Flower, and that soundtrack remains one of my favorite game soundtracks of all time. There's likely an old Top Score episode with Vincent and me floating around out there in cyberspace about that score. I loved talking with Vincent again, loved learning about how he composed and recorded it, and loved meeting Copper. You can find a playlist and support Level with Emily on Patreon.

This final part of my LucasArts trilogy takes an in-depth look at the innovative iMUSE system. iMUSE was instrumental to the development of dynamic and interactive music through the 90s, and I welcome back Peter McConnell and Clint Bajakian to discuss its impact. I'm also pleased to present more insight from the incomparable George Sanger, who wrote dynamic soundtracks for games like Capture the Flag and Wing Commander (before the creation of iMUSE). Along the way, all three guests take an extended look at PC sound chips, and how they evolved across the digital audio revolution. I'm very pleased to present this jam-packed conclusion to a long and rewarding series of LucasArts podcasts. It's been some time in the making, but I'm back! Expect more Sound Test documentaries in the future, including further insight from George and Clint. My next episode will concentrate on the music of thatgamecompany, with their principle composers - Vincent Diamante and Austin Wintory.

Blog link: http://videogamegrooves.com/2022/04/24/episode-94-street-fighter-alpha-2-skullgirls No fighting game soundtrack left unfeatured! At least, that seems to be our motto, but can you blame us? We just can't pass up these pristine pressings of pugilistic polyphony! This week, Anthony takes us back to class and demonstrates the musical evolution of the Street Fighter series with Street Fighter Alpha 2. We listen to some of the riffs on the classic SF2 themes, and we're introduced to some new ones that fit seamlessly into the pantheon of music... but what are we left humming? Then we take a jog on the jazzy and jiggly side with Skullgirls, jamming to Michiru Yamane and Vincent Diamante's homage to the 1940s, while the gameplay recalls Marvel vs Capcom 2. The game's interesting history and ambitious art and music are front and center for appreciation. We may throw down a few gauntlets in this episode. Ready? Fight! We press on to discuss the "genre" considerations of listenability and vinyl pressing. Why have fighting games been regularly featured on VGG, and what types of games seem to be missing? We also catch you up on the latest releases and announcements! Could international currency exchange work in your favor this week? Mmmmmaybe.

They almost didn't make it! After a month of imaginative experiments that resulted in incredible episodes but very little bonus audio, the panel got together to just hang out and chill for a good long while.

The Game Audio Hour crew returns... in audio-only form, appropriately enough! Mike visits an arcade for the first time in a while, which prompts a discussion that connects development for arcade hardware and mobile phones... and they somehow start talking about connecting 80s-90s consumer keyboards (Yamaha PSR-510!) to their sound cards, eventually coming back to modern sample libraries like EastWest and Spitfire. Featuring: Alex May, Michael Gordon Shapiro, Vincent Diamante

Det blir blodig alvor idet Spillarkivet feirer sitt andre jubileum. Vi ser tilbake på året som har gått, blir enige om hvilke spill vi husker best, krangler om hvorvidt ordspill har livets rett og kommer med et par dårlige nyheter. Dette er ikke slutten. Kontakt: spillarkivetpod@gmail.com  https://www.facebook.com/spillarkivetpod/ Instagram: Spillarkivet Tekniker: Henrik Dale Mix: Espen Jansen Musikk: Yoko Shimomura, Vincent Diamante, Matt Furniss, David Bergaud, Ryan Amon, Shinji Hosoe, Harry Gregson-Williams Logo: Mateo Guerrero fra Half Lemon Studios

Peter takes on the Order of No Quarter with a trusty spade in hand in Shovel Knight and Joe fights monster girls in order to claim a secret power with Vincent Diamante's work in Skullgirls.

This is episode 22 where we present basically two times the same soundtrack. "Flower" by Vincent Diamante to the 2009 videogame of the same title by Thatgamecompany has many similarities to the Basil Paledouris score to the 1982 John Milius film "Conan the Barbarian". Trust me on this one. They are brothers from anther mother. Just listen to the show and you'll get it. Enjoy!

Our fourth GDC episode sees us missing Kris for the first set of Super-Special Guests, but we manage to get him back partway through the show. Speaking of which, the Super-Special Guests on the show were: Robin-Yann Storm (@rystorm) Joel Nyström (@reallyjoel) Nathalie Lawhead (@alienmelon) Bennett Foddy (@bfod) Robin Baumgarten (@robin_b) Frank Cifaldi (@frankcifaldi) Vincent Diamante (@vincentdiamante) Hosted by: Alex Wawro (@awawro) Kris Graft (@krisgraft) Ann Scantlebury (@scanters) Ste Curran (@steishere) Cheerio!

Love is in the air, and the sounds of Video Game Grooves are the sweet music to enhance the mood. Well, we do a lot of talking so it might kill your chances at romance, but you never know! In this floral and trippy episode, we are flipping the script! We begin with our features section, and oh boy are you in for a treat! We begin with Jeremy's pick of Flower, by Vincent Diamante. The 2009 indie darling by Thatgamecompany and Sony is a good example of dynamic music arranged for a "linear" release on vinyl, and we spend a lot of time ruminating on the game's narrative, the experience, and of course the music.  Next up, Anthony gushes about the very esoteric release of an obscure PS1-era dream simulation and a surreal adventure game (LSD: Dream Emulator and Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls Of Tong-Nou, briefly discussed on our previous show) compiled together on All Things Must Be Equal by Osamu Sato. We explore the nature of early experimental game design on PS1, the specifics of Sato's, er, "chemical enthusiast" work, and delve deep into the 500-track (!) 90s-drenched score. Moving on to the news, DJ Lord British holds court as we keep you apprised of this low-spend releases and announcements for the prior weeks, as well as at least one cancellation of a preorder product, and the newest shipments arriving soon on your turntable. Finally, we discuss the vagaries and realities of producing products in a market of scarcity, and compare and contrast the good and the bad of being a fan in a "speculative" hobby. Outro: "Global Noise" - LSD Dream Emulator, by Osamu Sato Twitter - @vg_grooves, @ajohnagnello, @walnutsoap, @jeremy_lamont Skyrim Atmosphers (Winterhold Variant) (Spacelab 9, sold out) Resident Evil: Vendetta (Spacelab 9) Hotline Miami (Devolver store) Nier Gestalt and Replicant box set (Amazon.co.jp)

A new Nintendo Direct happened and we have all of the relevant news here! We also may hate on a few things Nintendo... but that's ok. They're not for us! There's a huge Diablo 3 patch coming and JJ Abrams is teaming up with Chair (Infinity Blade, Shadow Complex) to make a new game. All this plus new releases and more on this week's show! Intro: "How to Play Smash Bros" - Super Smash Bros Brawl, by Takahiro Nishi et al. Outro: "Sailing on the Wind" - Flower, by Vincent Diamante

In which we decide between flowers or muder. Murdered Main Theme, Julia and My Name is Ronan by Jason Graves MURDERED: Soul Suspect by Airtight Games; Lazy Daydream and Life as a Flower by Vincent Diamante from Flower by Thatgamecompany.

In which we soar above the sky. Title theme & elevator music by Greg LoPiccolo, Tim Ries from System Shock by Looking Glass; intro1, cloud, credits by Vincent Diamante from Cloud by students from University of Southern California.

It's a game about love, and flowers, and flying, and nature... and there's great music too. Composer Vincent Diamante talks about "Flower" on Top Score.
