Diggin' In The Carts
posted October 29, 2014 #
I'm consistently impressed by the offerings that Red Bull puts out into the world beyond their energy drink / can business. The entirety of Red Bull Music Academy is somewhat baffling - both in term that it exists at all and, moreso, that it's actually often quite compelling content.
Long story short, they recently launched a six part series called Diggin' In the Carts that explores the musicians and creators behind early videogame music. The likes of Yoko Shimomura, Hirokazu Tanaka and Nobuo Uematsu aren't exactly household names but Street Fighter II, Metroid and Final Fantasy certainly are.
The trailer for the series does a good job of showing just how influential this music has been and the series site lets you dive right in with plenty of additional background info. I will certainly be watching all of these.
