Description
Though Halloween season is over, we’re still playing with gore! XVGM Radio sits down with VGM composer Jason Létourneau to discuss his music in the 8-bit modern retro classic, Infernax. Hear us grill Jason to learn about his process and how some of our favorite modern VGM composers helped him early in his game composing career. Rock out to some seriously sinister and chunky 8-bit riffs, along with stunning arpeggios and sweeping bass lines, all while learning everything you can about this ode to classic games like Castlevania 2: Simon’s Quest, Faxanadu and Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link. Mike and Justin get ready to carve up some wall meat, all while chatting about pie in this excellent composer interview! HUGE thanks to Jason for coming onto the show!
