OSC 01 - Kingdom Hearts II & God of War (2018)

Welcome to Original Soundchat, where video game music is a work of art! In this new weekly show, hosts Joe DeVader and Peter Spezia are talking their favorite game soundtracks. This involves taking a deep dive into the creation and history behind those classic OSTs, while highlighting some key tracks along the way. Join them as they shine a light on the often-forgotten composers that make our games sound great, and prove that game music has come far beyond the days of so-called “beeps and boops.”

In this week’s inaugural episode of the show: Joe celebrates the release of Kingdom Hearts III by talking about Yoko Shimomura and her work on Kingdom Hearts II, and Peter goes on a deep dive into Bear McCreary’s score for 2018’s God of War.
