A Broken Chair Scores Spinoff Project

10/31/19 • -1 min

Hi
I'm abusing the Broken Chair Scores channel to promote a new solo project that I was forced to begin since SOMEone decided to turn his life around and go back to university in a different city. This by no means has to be the end of the BCS but it means that particularly in the beginning of this new phase there might be some delays when it comes to new episodes. Meanwhile I took matters into my own hands and created a spinnoff project that is pretty similar to the BCS albeit with some important changes:

the new show presents a bunch of tracks with some commentary in between AND during the songs
it's video game music only
it's games from a particular genre only (city-builders, management simulations, (real-time) strategy games across all plattforms)
the style of the music as well as the commentary is very reduced as opposed to the overly enthusiastic and engaging conversations we tend to have at the BCS (think BCS episode 14 but even smoother))
the tracks play back to back and only once each
the commentary is in German (which is not really a big deal since it is not a lof of commentary anyways; I try to keep it at a minimum so that even non-German speakers can get the idea, like when I mention composers' names and such things)

So check it out and get your fix even when there is no new BCS material. The first episode features music from "Der Industriegigant" as well as "Anno 1602". I will only use this feed to promote the new show once to maybe bring over some of the "many" BCS listeners. The show is called "Aufbaumusic" (building music) and you can find its dedicated page here: aufbaumusik.blogspot.com
Here is episode 1 of this new show:

Episode 27

Second upload in one month. Just sayin'.
This episode is basically one big fashion advice column disguised as a podcast on soundtracks. We're talking colours, patterns, the lot. After 26 episodes of ramp-up we are following our true calling and giving fashion advice like your basic insta-bitch. In the background of all the fashion there is some talk about the soundtrack to the 2002 Square video game "Unlimited Saga" for the Playstation 2 composed by Masashi Hamauzu. The Kap brings music from the film "Oldboy" by Park Chan-wook with a soundtrack written by composer Cho Young-wuk. This one came out just the following year, i.e. in 2003.
Enjoy!

Episode 28

In this episode of our weekly fashion vlog we're doing mostly checkered stuff and a bunch of Crocs. As a bonus Krazy Kaptain Khalid plays some funky beats from the 1992 ACCLAIM SNES game "Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge" composed by Geoff and Tim Follin. Melee Markus is doing the score to the 1997 Paul Verhoeven classic "Starship Troopers" by Basil Paledouris. Oh btw, we're using a new technique to live mix our stuff so maybe the transitions don't sound as smooth and seamless as they used to BUT you get some awesome live knob-fiddling instead which allows us to comment on stuff while it's running, basically like they do on real podcasts.
Enjoy!
