We’re going weekly for June to participate in
@MastersofVGM and starting off talking about one of my favourite underrated composers Richard Jacques
It’s June, which means it’s time for The Masters of VGM, a community event among participating podcasts in which they get to talk about their chosen composers based on a theme. They may condense it into a one episode or spread it out across several episodes, all within the month of June.
This year, the theme for MoVGM is underappreciated or up-and-coming composers. It can be composers that are rarely discussed at length or perhaps overshadowed by more famous ones. It can also be about composers that have recently started out and are being noticed because of a title or their recent work.
This week’s episode will look at a composer for the recently popular MMORPG “Genshin Impact”: Yu-Peng Chen. He actually started with television and movies before producing soundtracks for video game. Also, Genshin Impact was not the only game he’s produced; that honor goes to Moonlight Blade, a mobile game that was only available in China.
If you’re a fan of Yu-Peng Chen or a player of Genshin Impact, I hope you’ll enjoy. If you’re curious about Genshin Impact, I hope these tracks will pique your curiosity.
Today’s broadcast is C1E76 for Theme Thursday, June 1st, 2023. Today’s theme is music from unsung and undersung composers, on a program we’re calling “The Big Sound of the Little Guy – vol. 2” – an episode (and likely the debut episode) of the fabulous VGM podcast community’s massive group project “Masters of VGM” – season 2! Masters of VGM can be found at www.mastersofvgm.com, or on Twitter or Discord.
(more…)The multi-podcast event “Masters of VGM” isn’t quite over yet! This week we asked our listeners to submit music from composers they consider to be the absolute MASTER of video game music! Everyone is spot-on with excellent music selections, and excellent testimonials! It’s great to hear what you chose, since we had to constrain ourselves to just four!
Also this week is another installment of Pernell’s Board-Game-Beats! This week we’re taking a look at Overboss from Brotherwise Games!

On this special bonus episode of Very Good Music, Bedroth is proud to present his VGM podcasting colleague Andre, host of the Brazilian O Som do Cartucho podcast! As one of only three international podcasts joining the event, and as the only podcast whose regular episodes have been released entirely in a language other than English, “Cartridge’s Sound” definitely lends a unique flavor to the proceedings.
Pixelated Audio joins the many podcasts participating in the Masters of VGM (@MastersofVGM) event organized by bedroth, host of Very Good Music and BGMania. Masters of VGM is a month long event of participating podcasts and their own on take on who they think are the best of the best!

All your favorite VGM podcasters are doing a series called “Masters of VGM”, where we do episodes devoted to our favorite video game composers. For my third entry into this series, I’m doing a career retrospective for Yoko Shimomura, best known for her work on the Kingdom Hearts series.
I’m coming in just under the wire to get in on the fun of the Masters of VGM topic going around the video game music podcast community, but I made it! I hemmed and hawed over these picks quite a bit, and this list could have turned out differently depending on the day. That said, I’m happy with my picks as I think they not only deserve to be called masters of their craft, but are also very representative of my musical interests and the general vibe of this podcast. So sit back and enjoy listening to a curated list of music from Motoi Sakuraba, Yasunori Mitsuda, Takahiro Unisuga, and Jane-Evelyn Nisperos.
