It’s been six months since our last episode, but the Gamewave Podcast is pleased to bring you another guest hosted episode from Steve Jenkins of Crystal Labs. This mixtape features over 40 minutes of top-drawer tracks from artists including trash80, Linde, Jay Tholen and Spiny Norman, perfect for your chiptune-themed gym workout or for listening to whilst relaxing on the beach this summer.

And there’s also some good news regarding the long-term future of the Gamewave Podcast. Now that Joe has finished his degree he’s planning to head out to Japan this summer to start work there. However, having met up with members of Spheres of Chaos recently, the guys are plotting to begin recording episodes again over Skype soon. Look out for new shows from this autumn/fall.

Also, keep any emails coming in to the usual address. Despite the show being on hiatus at various points over the last couple of years, the emails we receive from fans have shown us there’s demand for the show and are one of the reasons we’ve decided to start recording again. We’d especially like to have some artist/track requests.

After a very long hiatus I am excited to say that Kenley Kristofferson is back with a brand new episode of Into the Score, a musical podcast looking at the history and musicality of game soundtracks new and old. This time we choose the latter as Kenley discusses the music from the much beloved PC masterpiece Grim Fandango. This is Into the Score 29 – Fandango? Fandango!.

The show covers a lot of musical ground this episode, and as with every episode of this fantastic podcast, is definitely worth a listen for an interesting and in depth discussion of musical theory as well as video game history. I will quote Kenley below, lest I butcher some musical ideas that I can barely even fathom myself.

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!

So there you have it! Go check out the podcast, listen to all the old episodes, then tell Kenley how awesome he is, because he is so awesome. In case you haven’t noticed, I am a large fan of this podcast and I certainly believe you should be too!

The listeners asked for it, so I sat down yesterday and recorded my first episode of the Gamewave Podcast in about a year and a half!  I usually record a Christmas Special around this time of year, but there’s so much great new music that I decided to just play non-festive tunes from arcadecoma., lpower, Spheres of Chaos, Jay Tholen, Machinae Supremacy, C-jeff, IAYD, Henry Homesweet, Fighter X and The J. Arthur Keenes Band.

Game Music 4 All even gets a mention.  Head over to gamewavepodcast.com or subscribe to the feed at gamewavepodcast.com/rss.xml to listen!
