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 second entry into this series, we’ll listen to the greatest hits of Shoji Meguro. This episode also serves as a de facto mixtape for the Persona games, since Meguro composed most of the music for the series.

Part of a multi-podcast event, The Masters of VGM is a way for us to celebrate the composers that have made an impact on the video game industry, and on ourselves! Rob and Pernell each chose 4 composers to represent The Masters, and 2 pieces of music that show why we call them: The Masters!

June is Masters of VGM month for Game Music Podcasts worldwide! Ed joins a cavalcade of likeminded podcasters and shares music from his top 4 composers of all time. Think you can guess who they are without looking?

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?
