The Sound of Play videogame music podcast
Summary: For many of us, it’s hard to think of almost any videogame without our minds conjuring up the music that accompanied it. Over the decades they’ve evolved from simplistic monaural beeps and bloops to full orchestral scores recorded in 7.1 surround, but from their earliest days right up to today, soundtracks have played an integral part of our memories of the games we played, and the times in our lives when we were playing them. What we aim to bring you with Sound of Play is a diverse sample of our favourites pieces from the many air-punching, spine-tingling, tear-jerking and grin-inducing videogame soundtracks we’ve heard over the years.

For this Sound of Play Extra, Thomas ‘Tom’ Quillfeldt spoke to composers Mikolai Stroinski and Garry Schyman. You’ll likely have heard at least some of their work in games like The Witcher 3 and The Vanishing of Ethan Carter (Stroinski), and the BioShock and Middle-Earth: Shadow of… series (Schyman).The interview was centred around their wildly experimental joint score for the recently released puzzle-platformer Metamorphosis by Polish studio Ovid Works. Based on the Franz Kafka novel of the same name, Metamorphosis sees the player crawling around as a bug in various Honey I Shrunk the Kids-meets-Tim Burton (on one of his darker days) environments. This was recorded across three time zones and the audio isn’t fantastic for the two interviewees — apologies. Music featured in this podcast: 1. Metamorphosis Theme by Garry Schyman – Metamorphosis (2020) 2. Two Shady Guys in the Room by Mikolai Stroinski – Metamorphosis (2020) 3. Harbor by Garry Schyman – Metamorphosis (2020) 4.
