Thanks to Raxious providing a heads up in an older thread.I figured a new thread would suffice for visibility (ironically had the bump of Raxious been a new thread it may have been less visible to me because of how fast this place is)...

The week (20th Sept 2014) the Saturday Night at the movies show (5PM-7PM BST) is another games special.

Spoiler

2 hours? more like 1.X after you take away ad breaks

Countdown:

(remember, BST is GMT+1, hence 4PN GMT is correct).

Non-UK? I don't know if you can listen live but apparently the listen again feature only requires a UK postcode. I'm sure there is easy enough to find...

Back in May, award-winning composer and broadcaster Howard Goodall turned the spotlight on video game music as listeners and game music composers requested their favourite scores.

Tonight, Howard returns to the genre to look ahead to the 2014 Game Music Connect conference >

Now in its second year, Game Music Connect is an event created by composers James Hannigan and John Broomhall to celebrate and explore the music of video games and the extraordinary talent behind it. Held at London's Southbank Centre, the one-day event offers an unparalleled opportunity for composers and soundtrack fans to learn from some of the industry’s leading composers and music directors about the ins-and-outs of creating and placing music in games.

Tonight, Howard has music by the composers appearing at the conference as well as the scores that have influenced them in their careers. The show climaxes with brand new video game music, including an exclusive world premiere of the theme from Disney's Fantasia: Music Evolved.

I'd take from that it won't all be gaming but it should be interesting to listen to anyway.

Here is the game music connect website (if you want more info on it):

Here is an interview done last year about it (and also about game composing in general and how it is completely different to film...irregardless of how it is constantly compared):

[KimonoNoNo]

Sweet, will check it out.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Good to know, jumped in halfway through the last one and it was good stuff.

 

[Savantcore]

These are always really good. Will tune in.

 

[EastOfEden]

Ooh that's cool, hopefully I'll be able to find a steam that works overseas.

For those of you who live in Australia, Sundays at 3:30pm AEST there's a Screen Sounds program on ABC Classic FM which does both film and game soundtracks. http://www.abc.net.au/classic/program/screensounds/

Edit: Actually I think ABC radio stations let overseas people listen online? At least Triple J does so I'm assuming the other ones do too...

 

[Nzyme32]

Thanks for the heads up OP, will be home and in need of relaxation, so this is perfect. Loving these broadcasts

Thanks for the mention I didn't felt that making a topic at that time would have been a smart idea.
Anyway, it'll be all video game music, that disney fantasia is an upcoming rhythm game for Xbox, and the fact that it's been promoted like this for the entire week

 

[Tregard]

Howard Goodall wrote the theme tune to Red Dwarf AND QI, guy knows his stuff.

 

[finley83]

And Mr Bean, don't forget that.

 

[jonno394]

Awesome, I requested some Xenoblade during the aftermath of the last one, fingers crossed

 

[Starwolf_UK]

10 minutes to go.

Classical music these days refers to the instruments used (in other classic orchestra). Unless there is an orchestra performance out there I put doubts in Xenoblade ever appearing.

That reminds me I totally forgot to request Ace Attorney Orchestral albums. Of course it all depends on being able to get rights (at least those two actually exist in album form*; there was a Zelda concert a few months back that has no CD release because Nintendo said no**).

* http://vgmdb.net/album/8309 http://vgmdb.net/album/3602 , also the Gadot Theme track was on the Nintendo Channel back in the day (yeah, remember that..thing)
**-Also any (bad) recordings audience members made had to removed from youtube.

Good point, just had a look at the composers, not too much i'm aware of, but apparently they're playing some of the composers favourites too.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Wouldn't Xenoblade's main theme be perfect for this?

 

[~Kinggi~]

Surprised there is no link.

Here it is.

Enter ab101aa as a postcode.

 

[jonno394]

This song from Command and Conquer 4 is rather nice

 

[Oidisco]

Just started listening, what did I miss?

 

[Keyser Soze]

Just started listening, what did I miss?

Command & Conquer 4
Runescape 3
Super Mario Bros

 

[jonno394]

Comet Observatory from Galaxy music banderas.jpg

 

[giant_frying_pan]

If the stream link doesn't work for non-UK people, you should be able to find Classic FM through the TuneIn radio app.

Lovely selection thus far.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Caught the C&C song as I was driving home. Didn't hear much of the programme due to having two tired and grouchy kids in the back of the car, but always glad to see these shows pop up.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Will keep a running list of the games in their line up..

Part One

• Command & Conquer 4
• Runescape 3
• Super Mario Bros
• Headhunter
• 007: Bloods Stone
• Dear Esther

Part Two

• Everybody's Gone To The Rapture
• Remember Me

 

[JoeM86]

Needs more Pokémon

I love hearing orchestrated Pokémon music.

 

[Auctopus]

Hmm, wasn't really impressed with that 'Dear Esther' track but still enjoyed the music in that game. Looking forward to EGTTR.

 

[Ruruja]

I'm glad they keep doing these, good on them.

 

[banagher]

Come on Chinese Room where's that release date?

Rapture looks stunning and this music is just umph.

 

[Raxious]

Will keep a running list of the games in their line up..

Okay I will stop posting then

 

[Auctopus]

Damn, I was disappointed by Skyrim's eventual shallowness (console) but every time that music is soooo good. Such great stuff.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I have a signed copy of the Skyrim soundtrack /smug

Halo now. Dat (dhose?) Marty O'Donnell royalties.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Outcast!

 

[~Kinggi~]

outcast is my jam

 

[Nzyme32]

Woop LA Noire!

 

[Theecliff]

Got this on in the background while I browse the interwebz. Love these specials they've done in the past year.

And yessss, LA Noire had a really good soundtrack.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Ass creed is da best.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I hope somehow, Jesper Kyd is brought back for the next proper Hitman game.

 

[Theecliff]

Ass creed is da best.

Yep, 2 had a great soundtrack. Brotherhood's was pretty good, too.

 

[Nzyme32]

Impressed by the Resistance: Burning Skies theme, shame I'm not too into that kind of game

 

[Spaciouz]

My inner child is so happy they just heard Runescape music on live radio.

 

[JB2448]

It's a good thing I love the Halo OSTs, because this broadcast has been chock-full of music from them.

 

[~Kinggi~]

It's a good thing I love the Halo OSTs, because this broadcast has been chock-full of music from them.

This is only the 2nd.

 

[JB2448]

Really? I don't know why it felt like so much more than that. Maybe it's been leaving the biggest impression on me or something. Sorry about that.

 

[~Kinggi~]

Ah this is a good bio track.

 

[ButchCat]

I love you Gary Schyman!

 

[shield]

Pleased to hear they played some music from Assassin's Creed II

Jesper Kyd's soundtrack to that game is a big reason why it's my favourite in the franchise

 

[~Kinggi~]

I swear they need a channel that just does this all day. You learn a bunch about the music and instruments and history. Feel like it is an under-served market.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This really is the Hovis music...but more sinister.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Awesome.

*is playing Civ 5 right now*

 

[Theecliff]

BABA YETU

 

[ANuclearError]

How many repeats from the previous one? I think Baba Yetu is a repeat.
