Very Good Music Bonus Episode 4: Interview with Artist Naomi Rubin

01/05/21 • 90 min

In this very special bonus episode, the hosts are joined by the artist who designed their awesome cover art: Naomi Rubin! We had a blast digging into Naomi’s process for coming up with the VGMVGM design, and in talking about some of her influences. Of course, there’s still plenty of Very Good Music, as the trio listens to three songs, each representing one of the stars of the art itself: Sans, Zelda, and Proto Man!

No playlist this week. Naomi is the star of this show, and we want to keep the music a bit of a surprise. More than ever, we would love for you to check out the accompanying video on YouTube, where you can get an exclusive look at some of Naomi’s in-process artwork!

Finally...we have a Discord now! Come join us and talk about the music here: https://discord.com/invite/qpbXPdCf2N

That’s all for now. We’ll see you in one week for Episode 2-11: Platformers with ProfJeff!

Musical artists featured: Toby Fox, Toru Minegishi, Yasuaki Fujita, Hideki Sakamoto, and Kenta Nagata
