Diggin' in the Carts (2014)

Episode Overview

The shift to 32-bit and CD technology in the '90s marked a turning point for video game music. Gone are the days of the iconic soundtracks from Sega and Nintendo; today, games often incorporate “real” music, featuring curated mixes by artists like Flying Lotus or performances by full orchestras. In this final session of Diggin’ In The Carts, we dive into the world of the next generation of video game composers and producers. This episode highlights Michiru Yamane, renowned for her contributions to the Castlevania series, alongside director Hideo Kojima, Teruta from Metal Gear Solid, and Namco's Yuu Miyake.
