BEEP documentary film/book: featuring over 50 international game sound creators
Crowdfunding campaign to develop a book/film documentary on the history of video game sound: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...deo-game-sound Now enough big-name Japanese composers that I figured people at VGMdb would be interested in this. We've got a handful of really big names to announce over the next week too. Here's the latest news article:

I like this idea, but Japanese composers are underrepresented (and/or Western composers are overrepresented).

There's no Jesper Kyd so I'm not interested.

HAY. Where's that darned Seiko Kobuchi interview, Chris?

Not all the names have been announced yet. There'll be a good split of Western/Eastern composers, with about 20 full-length interviews with Eastern composers featured in the book and many on the DVD (as it's 90 minutes, we can only obviously select the best responses).
Even though they're not exactly popular here, many of the European (and to a lesser American) composers have a huge fanbase and were actually great innovators. Note that the Western composers we've selected aren't the current Hollywood ones, but more those that innovated in the 80s and 90s. Nisto: Can't control it when composers don't get back to me, despite them agreeing to do the interview and me spending $$$ on translating questions for them. All too common and frustrating.

Ah, okay. Shame. Well, that's fine, I just wanted to finally get a confirmation on the status really.

I'll try following up at some point. There are a few other interviews in a similar position, e.g. with Michiko Naruke, Masanori Adachi/Hirofumi Taniguchi, and MintJam.

I know VGMdb is all about completism, but really not possible for such a project due to both the documentary length and licensing issues. We've tried our best to get biggest, historic names from the industry -- and think we have done an impressive job, keeping in mind some still to be announced. However, there'll always be notable emissions, as well as lots of fringe names, who we would have wanted to feature but didn't have the opportunity or resources.
Some of these could be considered for a stretch goal or even a volume 2 if enough people ask for one! Rom Di Prisco and Nobuyoshi Sano have both been interviewed at GMO, so rest assured we're aware of their awesomeness. Last edited by Chris; Sep 1, 2014 at 04:14 PM. |

Well as a huge fan of Kyd's work (fans gonna be fans heh...), do you plan to interview him at some point (as a sort of long-term plan I guess), if you don't mind me asking?

I love Kyd's works too! Both modern and historic. I'll see if we might be able to include him, maybe as a stretch goal.
