Live and on-site! We sat together in the same room for the first time since February 2020 (that was episode 30 which does not sound too far away but since this show moves at tectonic rates of 3 eps per year it was actually 3 years ago!). And of course it was great and there was some physical contact and I think you can hear it (the good vides, not the touching).
During the show I felt like asking you (the listeners) a bunch of questions along the lines of "should I drink more or less during the show?" and "how do you feel about my pussillanimous move to bleep out the c-word in ep. 37" but the most important question is the following: "What do you love about the show?" and I still stand by this one. Please write us via mail or (even better) comment on the page with your answers.
Soundwise this one is rock solid since we present the killer John Powell score to the 2010 animated DreamWorks film How to Train Your Dragon and the equally badass Samurai Shodown video game score from the 2019 reboot by SNK with tracks composed by one or several of the following group: Hiroshi Yamazoe, Masato Horiuchi, Hideki Asanaka, Mayuko Hino, Naoki Kita, Minori Sasaki, Kensuke Inage, Jun Hoshina.
Also at one point rather towards the end the Kaptain mentioned
this cover version of the Castlevania 3 score which is really great.
Enjoy this episode and please give us feedback!
This is 2023 and I'm having some time on my hands so I'm remastering the old episodes. This means re-inserting all the music taken from proper sources and other minor tweaks to make it better. The original music was just recorded as played in the room from some shitty PC speakers. I went into the master and put the tracks in properly. I also tweaked some other parameters of the audio and converted it to mono as should always be the case for podcasts. The original ep was uploaded in 2015. Here is the original description:
Broken Chair Scores Episode 6 is the best episode so far. Believe me. We deliver a concise and kind of bizarre one hour and thirty minutes of soundtrack goodness. [Update from 2023: It's 2 hours now due to including the tracks in proper quality as well as the voice-over ones.] As always we review our favorite tracks from one film and one game soundtrack. In this episode we talk about the soundtrack to the 1995 Sega game "Alien Soldier" written by Kazuo Hanzawa as well as the soundtrack to the 2003 Peter Weir Film "Master and Commander" written by Richard Tognetti, Iva Davies and Christopher Gordon.
If you want to support us you can always write a comment here. This would be highly appreciated. If you're interested in a more relaxed podcast about mostly (city-) building game soundtracks for the PC (think Anno, Settlers, Tycoons from the 90's and onwards) then check out Aufbaumusik.
Enjoy!
