Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It's the smooth crash of the Last Wave on KVGM with your host, Hammock, bringing you thirty minutes of the best video game jams(z) from all your favorite composers and consoles, each and every week from our beachside studio on sunny Aqua City Island. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch...the Last Wave.Golf, tennis, mahjong, scuba diving, sexy puzzles, robot puzzles, poison(?), and, of course, baseball. The fundamentals of smooth video game jams. Well, maybe not poison or robot puzzles...but you get the idea. It's crazy to think that we're in August already, the year more than halfway over -- although, to be fair, 2020 has felt like 5 years so far. Enjoy summer if you can. Go out to somewhere beautiful and isolated and commune with nature because we can't commune with each other.

In this episode of Composer Quest, I chat with video game musician and coder Whitaker Trebella. He shares his words of wisdom on writing for games, producing chiptune music, and getting composing gigs through Twitter. He also composes an on-the-spot "quickprov" using Logic Pro. Finally, we ponder what would happen if Beethoven was given a laptop. Would he be making dubstep tracks?
