Joon Media 02: Stephen Baysted, Kirk Hamilton, Charlie McCarron
Hey, it’s Emily! I can’t believe we’re putting out show number TWO already.
Sam and I have had one crazy week, yet we managed to achieve greatness in this second episode (of course).
Stephen Baysted is on the show this week. He’s been composing for games, film and TV for more than a decade. His newest video game soundtrack is for Project CARS. I’ve never interviewed someone about a racing game before, so this was a treat. Project CARS is a racing simulation, and I was shocked when Stephen told me there’s no music in the game while players are racing. He gives an excellent reason why during our conversation!
Charlie McCarron is a guest this week. Charlie is the host of Composer Quest, a songwriting and music composition podcast in which he invites listeners to participate in musical challenges. He’s organizing a game jam to pair up developers and composers, which is SO GREAT. Learn more from Charlie on this week’s show!
A lot happened this week in the industry, so I invited Kirk Hamilton to stop by and set the record straight on a couple things. He’s the Features Editor for Kotaku.com, and he’s fabulous.
We hope you enjoy the show! We’re going to pop a free shorter version up as soon as possible (ideally tomorrow!)
(and OMGGGGGOOOODDDDNESSS I can’t wait to tell you who I’m interviewing tomorrow yesssssssssssss!)
