Josh Whelchel: we love this guy, and we love his friends. He’s an indie composer, he’s still finishing college, and he’s already written a lot of incredibly catchy music. He’s not afraid of dabbling in ultra-electronic stuff, but he’s also great when it comes to collaborating with vocal and instrumental performers to provide interesting acoustic work. His soundtrack for The Spirit Engine 2 remains one of the most eclectic collections of indie game music out there.
Recently, Josh Whelchel finished work on another indie game: GunGirl 2. For this one, he worked with talented musicians to do a lot of recording, though there is also some synth/sequenced music to be found along the way.
Between all this, Josh also finds time to continue the “Songs for the Cure” project, now two years running (and Josh is already planning the 2011 album!). We interviewed Josh around this time last year but thought it would be appropriate to follow up with him on his most recent endeavors.
