Broken Chair Scores

This is 2022 and for whatever reason I'm having some time at my hands so I'm remastering the old episodes. This means re-inserting all the music taken from proper sources and other minor tweaks to make it sound better. The original music was just recorded as played in the room from some shitty PC speakers. I went into the master and put the tracks in properly. I also tweaked some other parameters of the audio and converted it to mono as should always be the case for podcasts. The original ep was uploaded in 2015. For this one in particular I'd like to mention that the new show is longer than the original cut because I included the tracks in their entirety without voice-over first before following this up with the version from the original recording since we apparently used to talk over the music in 2015 which was dropped in later episodes and I wanted to present both the original track in pure form and the voice-over one. Also there is a bonus early surprise visit by JS (the old c) during the Dracula track from Quantum Leap! Here is the original description: Broken Chair Scores Episode 8 is only 10 minutes longer than we planned it to be but this way you get two oldschoolers talk browsers, music streaming services and the fact that you can actually buy mp3-files legally. Further (and way more interesting IMHO) we review our favorite tracks from one film and one game soundtrack. In this episode we talk about the soundtrack to the 2013 Capcom game "Remember Me" written by Olivier Derivière as well as the soundtrack to the NBC television show "Quantum Leap" written by Mike Post and Velton Ray Bunch.

This time we really went all in. Not just did the Kaptain massively increase his mic-game, no, I also treated parts of the recording to a full Auphonic spa which means that it sounds even better. But here comes the real kicker: I took the 1:40h original file and tried to smash every "erm" and to delete every false start and word-repetition I could find. I also hardcore erased some of the stuff we said cause it was really not saying a lot. This took me close to fifteen hours of additional work and I was only able to do it because I'm on holiday. The crazy thing is: there are still a lot of "erms" and other useless sounds in there! But it's easily 75% less than in the original file. The main part of the show (without the outtakes) is now only 1 hour and 18 minutes long. This means 22 minutes of "erms" less than usual! This is probably the greatest sounding episode I ever produced! I also finally mixed it down to mono cause I know how some of you like to just put one bud in for the sneaky micro-escape from reality during "quality time" with your "family" (You know that we are your real family. We'll always be there for you.) Anyways, the Kaptain brings the score to the 1976 animated feature film Les Douze travaux d'Astérix written by Gérard Calvi while I present Koichi Sugiyama's score to the 1990 Almanic SNES game E.V.O. Search for Eden (arranged by Motoaki Takenouchi).

Good news and bad news. Good news first: We tried Zencastr so the audio should be better. Bad news: The audio is worse because one of the microphones was crapping out and I didn't hear the clicking sounds during recording. So sorry for that. This podcast is still in its infancy so we are naturally struggling with the technicalities. It can only get better. Anyways, the Captain brings the score to the 1993 Capcom SNES game Mega Man X written by Setsuo Yamamoto, Makoto Tomozawa, Yuki Iwai, Yuko Takehara and Toshihiko Horiyama. Great legacy stuff all around. I myself present James Newton Howard's score to the 2014 Disney movie Maleficent.

This is 2020 and due to Corona I'm having some time at my hands so I'm remastering the old episodes. We're talking reinserting all the music taken from proper sources and other minor tweaks to make it better. The original music was just recorded as played in the room from some shitty PC speakers. I went into the master and edited the tracks in properly. The original ep was uploaded in 2016. Here is the original description: Broken Chair Scores Episode 9 can be called a classic episode. We got all the main ingredients in there: Cleaning up the mess that we left unanswered in Episode 8. Talking way too long about the upcoming anniversary Episode 10. One film soundtrack. One game soundtrack. This time it's the soundtrack to the "Commandos" games written by Mateo Pascual as well as the soundtrack to the Tykwer/Wachowsky Film "Cloud Atlas" written by Tom Tykwer, Johnny Klimek and Reinhold Heil.

I went into the master and edited the tracks in properly. The original ep was uploaded in 2016. Here is the original description: Broken Chair Scores Episode 10 is THE QUIZ! We had to split it in two parts because SOMEONE needed to go to the toilet and thus there was a cut in the flow of the show anyway. This is part 2 and again I am not going to mention any of the tracks that are going to be played in the show since this would ruin the quiz-along experience for you! Instead you get the rules of the game that we basically stuck to. The pictures above show our super sophisticated audio setup (notice the 2 laptops and 2 sets of speakers to make sure that there is no cheating) as well as our bulletproof and comprehensible census system. 1. each host can choose from the 18 soundtracks presented so far 2. tracks that can be played are either ones which have already been played as well as others from the same album which sound similar to the stuff presented 3. the other person has to guess at least the album, bonus points can be earned by guessing track title and composer 4. we can chose from the stuff we played as well as from the material the other person played on the show 5. 5 tracks or 20 mins per person as usual BUT keep 2-3 backup tracks in the backpocket in case we choose the same stuff by accident 6. no access to any documents during the show besides THIS list and your tracklist 7. the tracklist may only contain the name of the track and the name of the album but NOT the name of the composer otherwise the bonus points for guessing the composer don’t make any sense
