Masters of VGM is BACK for 2023! Many of your favorite video game music podcasts are returning, this time to celebrate composers who we feel might have missed out last year because they were either too new or not well-known enough to be immediately considered “masters” of the craft. However, as we hope to showcase this year, many of them are truly gifted in spite of their up-and-coming status, or are simply unsung heroes of VGM composition.
So please join us once again in June (give or take a couple weeks) 2023 as we collectively celebrate the Masters of VGM: Unsung and Up-and-Coming composers who have provided us with the music we all love!
Awesome new tune from one of our #mastersofvgm!
In a different style of #screenshotsaturday, here’s a soundtrack preview from the game! This time we have the theme of Ray, the Optic Circuit, as composed by @Dominic_Ninmark !

And now, the final composer for “The Masters of VGM”. While she has only done one video game soundtrack, Cœur de Pirate (stage name for Beatrice Martin) has the receipts for her incredible work on the game. Playing piano at the age of three, she studied for several years at a conservatory, played in a band as a keyboardist, and released a debut album that would gain notoriety thanks to a viral video. After working on a collaboration with several different musicians, directing her first music video, and composing her second album, she was approached by Ubisoft Montreal to compose for their upcoming video game ‘Child of Light’.
While I could talk ad nauseam about her work, I believe her songs will speak for themselves when you have a listen. So, enjoy this final episode of “The Masters of VGM” and many thanks for listening and subscribing to this podcast.

If you had to pick four legendary composers that best represents you…as well as all of video game music, who would you pick? Well, that’s the question that our pal Bedroth from VGMVGM (Very Good Music Video Game Music) Podcast asked the community of VGM podcasters…and we broke the rules and picked a bonus one, because we’re rule breakers. Yeah, that’s right. Your boys from XVGM Radio are here to break down all the barriers. All jokes aside though, Mike and Justin pick their heaviest of hitters in their VGM opinions. From discussions on the impressive echo of Iku Mizutani’s NES bangers, to the sentimental tears Justin shed over Final Fantasy 9’s ending, XVGM Radio takes you through some of their favorite composers and the tracks they feel best represent them. Get ready to climb VGM mountain and see the masters of video game music!
It’s a very special Super Sound Boy, with his very own selections for VGM Masters!
Spanning the many decades of Video Game Music. The Messenger will share music from the 8 Bit Era to today of bite sized episodes with amazing Video Game Music. In this episode, he features his honorable mentions for the Masters of VGM.
Now we shall talk about one of the more famous and familiar composers among the VGM community and perhaps outside: Yoko Shimomura.
She is best known for her compositions of the Kingdom Hearts series, but that required working on many titles beforehand. This week’s episode, we’ll go through her career, listening to several tracks from long list of her works, starting with Street Fighter II, going through several games in the JRPG genre, and then working on another fighting franchise. As usual, each of her original tracks will have a cover or remix paying tribute.
Now, grab a nice, tall glass of your favorite drink and enjoy these tracks in Part Three of “The Masters of VGM”.
