We VGM aficionados tend to classify composers, trying to make them into certain-shaped pegs so they fit the holes we expect them to. I had Rich “Disasterpeace” Vreeland pegged as almost exclusively a “chiptunes” composer. In my mind, he did chiptunes, usually in a math/prog-rock style. But no one composer is as one-dimensional as we assume them to be.
Case in point: Shoot Many Robots from Demiurge Studios and Ubisoft. This soundtrack is about as far away from the world of square waves as you can possibly get. I mentioned to Rich, in passing, that this soundtrack was way out of the norm for him. His reply? Apparently, it’s more common than we fans realize.
To learn what Rich meant by that, and to get some feedback on this new soundtrack, join us after the jump. (more…)
