Welcome! I’m video game composer Winifred Phillips – my latest is the music for the bestselling remake of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord (listen and download the award-winning soundtrack for free). Today I’m pleased to present the final installment of my three-part series based on my interview with Meena Shamaly, the host of the Game Show on ABC Classic (the Australian Broadcasting Corporation). Meena Shamaly brings all his knowledge as an accomplished composer, producer and performance artist into his role as interviewer and host, and I was honored to be an interviewee for his awesome show! An audio recording of the full uncut interview is hosted right now on the ABC Classic web site. I’m including the full written transcript of that interview here, along with some supporting links and media files to expand on the topics discussed. In part one of this series, Meena and I reflected on the journey a new composer takes to break into the video game industry, along with the “always say yes” philosophy that can help new composers as they pursue their first break. In part two, we discussed the unique role that music plays in video games. Now, in the third and final installment, we’ll be discussing the impact of music on a gamer’s experience, and how game music weaves itself into a gamer’s life.
