Episode 43

Episode 43 took a while because I switched jobs and I was either too busy or too lazy to edit it. We actually recorded in the beginning of September 2024. Then I tried to upload in October but archive.org was still down. So this is coming out in November.
Anyway, both scores we play are classics in their own way I guess. So on the film side we've got Michael Giacchino's score to the 2009 J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie which is also referred to (by me) as Star Trek 11. On the other side the Kaptain brings the score to the 1991 SNES Konami game TMNT IV: Turtles in Time by Mutsuhiko Izumi, Harumi Ueko and Kazuhiko Uehara.

PS: Maybe the upload won't work due to the archive.org hack. In this case I'll try again later. Sorry for any delays and disappointments this may cause. I know for sure that some of you can't wait to get the new episode. OK. Who am I kidding.

Episode 42 delivers. In fact, we deliver two great scores right into your earholes. The first is the score for the 1997 film Princess Mononoke. The film was directed by Hayao Miyazaki. The composer of the soundtrack is Joe Hisaishi. They are not the same person, nor do they have the same first name. This is somehow relevant and makes sense when you listen to the episode. The second soundtrack we play is by Jerry Martin, Marc Russo (no relation to Jeff Russo of Star Trek Discovery fame), Kirk Casey and Dix Bruce. These cool guys created the soundtrack for the 2000 Maxis/EA video game The Sims. We play tracks from an album released in 2007.

Episode 41

Welcome to season 5 of the Broken Chair Scores soundtrack podcast. This is the season where we're probably going to go viral. Did you see that we're on Instagram now? Follow us there via this link or find it on our landing page. We're cool now! Tell your friends about it.


In this episode we play tracks by Maxime Lacoste-Lebuis from the 2020 video game Spiritfarer by Thunder Lotus Games as well as some selections by various composers (mostly Vangelis though) from the 1980 PBS television series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage (the Carl Sagan one).
There are 40 years between these productions but they have one thing in common (and I'll borrow a phrase from Episode 39 here): They are totally mellowed out! Look no further if you need to calm down and want to find some chill tracks to relax!


If you want to support us you can always write a comment here or on Instagram (where we totally are now since we're cool and all) which would be highly appreciated.
