Beards, Cats and Indie Game Audio Folgen

The last episode of 2016 and we've got Leonard Paul as our guest. We sat down at Gord's and talked about a bunch of stuff that Leonard has done and his school. As well we talk a bit about Sound Particles and vinyl soundtrack releases. And of course we answer some questions.   As well Leonard sent us a bunch of links on how to contact him and his projects: School: http://School.VideoGameAudio.com Twitter: http://Twitter.com/SchoolGameAudio or http://Twitter.com/VideoGameAudio Personal: http://VideoGameAudio.com 'Beep' Original Music Score: http://LeonardJPaul.Bandcamp.com Billboard Article: http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/7624544/beep-documentary-traces-history-of-video-game-music 'Beep' interview on 'Level' with Emily Podcast: www.patreon.com/posts/lwer-43-leonard-7048277 Interview on Game Audio Hour: youtu.be/XevtZileSjg?list=PL17-p74MQ_0STwm-hfUC3Nyl2X2kD7Y_b 'Music of Beep' article on DesigningMusicNow!: www.designingmusicnow.com/2016/09/22/the-music-of-beep/

And we're back again. We answer some questions and talk about doing personal projects and it's importance. As well as some tips for analyzing mixes on other games and why that's a good thing to do.   We both have music released this month that we talk about some and here's some links to that. Gord's Viking Squad OST - https://ashellinthepit.bandcamp.com/album/viking-squad-original-soundtrack  Also available on streaming services and youtube. Matthew's dark ambient EP - https://mattesque.bandcamp.com/album/nov-xx164t8-ep Should also be available on other sales/streaming platforms soon.   On a sad note Saki Kaskas passed away this month and I wouldn't be doing game audio if he hadn't taken a chance on my. He did some great work in games, made some great music and was just generally a great guy. He will be missed. http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/285871/Obituary_Need_for_Speed_and_Sleeping_Dogs_composer_Saki_Kaskas.php  

Feels like we get a bit personal this month. For the month of October we talk about some conferences we've been to lately, some personal learnings from that and thoughts on games that have disappointing launches. And then answer some questions.
