Episode 123 – Prison City w/ composer Matt Creamer

2 hours 4 minutes

Matt Creamer, aka Radd Daddy, aka Norrin Radd, RETURNS to XVGM Radio to talk about his amazing soundtrack for Retroware’s Prison City game. We’ve chat with Matt previously about many of his soundtracks, even had him on one of our live shows before! A true friend to the podcast, Matt isn’t afraid to get into the nitty gritty details about how he carefully crafts his soundtracks. A self proclaimed “puzzle solver” when it comes to music creation, Matt Creamer delves into the new way he composes classic NES style soundtracks, and the XVGM boys grill him on his influences this time around (Groove and industrial metal?! The Batman and Goonies NES OSTs?!) and so much more! Join Matt, Justin and Mike for a long but utterly satisfying chat about Prison City on the latest episode of XVGM Radio!
