Episode Synopsis


Here at Rhythm Encounter, we have the unique opportunity to bring listeners two interview episodes in a row! No, it's not MAGFest (though we do enjoy going there when we get the opportunity). We had the chance to chat with 8-Bit Music Theory, head of the fascinating and fun YouTube channel about music theory through a video game lens. He was generous enough to share information about his new arrangement album of GameCube songs, walk us through some music theory vocabulary using some of his RPG applicable videos, and do some analysis of (relatively?) obscure RPG music that we've chosen on the spot!Featuring: Hilary Andreff, Patrick Gann; 8-Bit Music Theory, Edited by Jono LoganLinks for this episode8-Bit Music Theory YouTube ChannelPurchase "Let's Play" on Bandcamp or AmazonTracklist0:03:02 - 8-bit discusses his new album, Let's Play0:18:06 - Musical terminology primer0:57:55 - 8-bit's creative process for videos1:15:34 - On the spot analysis1:16:16 - Furious Battle - The Final Fantasy Legend (Makai Toushi SaGa)1:25:43 - Epic Poem to Sacred Death - Valkyrie Profile OST1:41:23 - A Maiden's Thoughts (from Chibi-Robo!) - Let's PlayAlbum links for places to buy, stream, and more are available in our post on RPGFan.Get in Touch:RPGFan.comEmail us: [email protected]: @rpgfancomInstagram: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancom
