id Software co-founder John Romero recently posted this video on his blog Planet Romero, consisting of a brief tour through the id office, followed by pre-release footage of the original DOOM. About two minutes in, they sit down with id Software composer Bobby Prince, who demos a track he originally wrote for Keen Dreams, simulating a Blaze family dinner conversation through musical “speech.” He also shows how the individual character themes in Pickle Wars actually combine to form a complex polyphonic piece highlighting different aspects of the group’s inner dynamic. And then John Romero plays DOOM for 20 minutes…
