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.
