I had the privilege of watching Rich Vreeland (aka Disasterpeace) give a live music production demo at Gamer’s Rhapsody this past weekend. I recorded it for my new sub-podcast of Composer Quest, Charlie’s Music Production Lessons. In the talk, you’ll get to hear Rich composing a track on the fly. He shares his secret ingredients in scoring the video game FEZ: the Massive synth, with heavy amounts of reverb, bitcrushing, randomness, and tape warble.

 

Here’s Rich’s demo in podcast form (available through iTunes, Stitcher, RSS, mp3, etc.).

Here’s the video.

Thanks to Thomas Spargo and all the sponsors who made Gamer’s Rhapsody happen (including the Minnesota-based Top Score podcast). Looking forward to next year!
