Find out what makes five game-music masters tick

If you're interested in concerts of video-game music, then you might like this set of interviews conducted with some of the more prominent fellows in the field. (And, no, you won't have to read any more about Tommy Tallarico.)

Music 4 Games' "Raiders of the Lost Arts" feature "includes interviews with Nile Rodgers (Soundtrack Producer -
Halo 2, Perfect Dark Zero), Jesper Kyd, (Composer – Hitman series, Freedom Fighters), Alex Brandon (Composer – Deus Ex, Thief), George Sanger (7th Guest, Wing Commander), and Rob Hubbard (SID/C64 Superstar Composer)."

Here's a choice quote from Mr.
Rodgers
on successful pop songs to whet your appetite: "One of my former music teachers told me this when he heard me putting down a musician who's [sic] song was at the top of the charts – 'Nile, if a song is a hit then it's always good, because it's communicating with people on a massive level.'" We welcome all bubble gum to the realm of musical greatness, Nile, and we're sure that Madame Spears would agree.
