Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It’s the smooth crash of KVGM “The Last Wave”, with your host, Hammock. A biweekly VGM podcast bringing you the jammiest video game music from all your favorite composers and consoles. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.
This week, we celebrate our SEVENTH YEAR ANNIVERSARY (I think I said six on the podcast so please ignore accordingly) and it’s crazy to think we’re still going strong, although we’re getting closer and closer to the final episode (#300)…maybe…I still haven’t 100% decided. For now, though, please enjoy these high quality jams!

Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Workstation Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (running Fedora COSMIC Linux), a 2017-spec DIY gaming PC (running Bazzite Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS Linux). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Creating fun nonsense words to confuse an older generation is a time-honored tradition, especially on the internet. Today we’re diving into games and music that makes us feel like we’ve lost “it”, or maybe still have “it”. Whatever “it” could be, there is definitely a history of silly slang words used in video games. And that fire is going to be badder than a drip off the radical skibidi thang, you dig?

Episode 128 – Same Song, Different Arrangement: Phantom Breaker BattleGrounds Ultimate
Game/Franshise Phantom Breaker VGM
Mike’s been raving about Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds for almost a decade. The heart-pumping soundtrack, exciting chibi anime beat-em up styled gameplay and intuitive leveling up system is a prime example of a game that should’ve gained more appreciation over the years. When the most recent version of the game, Phantom Breaker Battle Grounds Ultimate came out this year, we knew it was time to FINALLY showcase the music for this game in a proper episode. SO, we decided to bring on a special guest which many will recognize as a familiar voice. In addition, some BIG changes are coming to XVGM Radio, and our guest is here to help ring in the news along with another special guest! This is an episode you absolutely CANNOT miss!
We’d love to hear what you thought about this game and the tracks we’ve picked! What was your favorite track? Shoot us an email at XVGMRadio@gmail.com or join in on the discussion at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/XVGMradio

NERD NOISE RERUNS: C1E60 - "Listener Picks - vol. 2" (orig released 12/23/2021)
2025 Rerun Notes: In anticipation of this month's incoming C1E99: "Listener Picks - vol 3", we are rerunning both previous installments of the Listener Picks trilogy this month! Today's rerun is the second installment, from December of 2021 And it is less of a sequel per se, and more of an omake (that is, more of an "outtakes" episode). While vol 1 was 40 tracks long and selected by 18 contributors, their total body of contributions was not 40, but instead, an absolutely insane 100!! Well, even in 2025, we'd never do an episode 100 tracks long! Such a mixtape could possibly hit 5hrs long, which is too long even for St. John! :-D So, what I did instead in 2018 was take the 100 and narrow it down to 40, with the 60 track remainder kept in reserve, intended for a Channel F "F-isode" to immediately follow as a bonus and feature the remaining 60. This bonus was to feature Trey Johnson of the NintenDomain and W.A.R.T. Radio podcasts as co-host, and be in the original format of W.A.R.T. Radio as a "return the favor" tribute to Trey in return for W.A.R.T. changing formats to match the NNR format. It was also going to feature an interview with a composer, spearheaded by Trey. But schedules did not align, and so the F-isode never happened! Today's rerun, eventually released years later in 2021 as a numbered "official" Ch 1 episode is essentially what that F-isode would've been - only with no interview (scheduling conflicts). Trey would still go on to co-host with me, though.
Lastly, as always: all the usual caveats about how much worse my production quality was back in 2021 than it is today, and not to judge the current state of NNR production quality by this rerun. If you are new, and this is your first exposure to NNR, and you enjoyed the content, but were put off by the production, either go back and listen to a recent episode, such as C1E98 or C1E96....or perhaps even better, keep your eyes peeled for C1E99, which is basically this all over again, but at 2025's far improved production quality standards! In fact, in this case, the situation is even worse! My side of the recording session with Trey was lost, and so we had to fallback on his side of the Zoom call for my voice, where I was using a super cheap wireless headset. So my voice quality sounds especially terrible. My apologies if any of that detracts from this otherwise excellent and joyous outing!
And with that, please enjoy the very non-standard-formatted - Listener Picks - vol 2, thanks again to Trey for lending his voice and talents in joining me to make this one happen, and please keep an eye out for the trilogy's incoming 3rd (and final) installment!
Cheers!
-------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes:
Today’s Broadcast is C1E60, for Theme Thursday, December 23rd, 2021 - our final episode of our very non-standard two-year long “Season 4”. So it is fitting that we’d end such a wildly non-standard season - filled with primarily wildly non-standard content already - with such a dramatically non-standard Channel 1 episode. Today’s episode abandons the customary Channel 1 “great big music block” mixtape format for a modified take on the original W.A.R.T. Radio format, featuring Trey Johnson of Nintendomain / W.A.R.T. Radio and St. John. Today’s episode is also a “Lost Level”, as it was originally intended to be a Channel F bonus “F-isode” to supplement “C1E40 - Listener Picks - vol. 1” from December 2018, and was intended to release right after it, in a nearly identical presentation to what you receive today. As such, today’s broadcast shall be “Listener Picks - vol. 2”. All music, other than the background music for the speaking portions was curated by listeners of the show, and are the roughly 60 remaining unused tracks from the pool of roughly 100 that were offered up for C1E40 in 2018, of which only 40 were used.
p.s. We apologize for the uncharacteristically poor audio quality on St. John's speaking voice. Details available upon request, but the short version is that John had technical difficulties on his end of the recording with "the good mic", but fortunately, we had a lower-quality backup recording on Trey's end over Zoom using St. John's built-in laptop mic. The sound quality is diminished, but the content is still preserved.

Episode 199: Adjust Those Rabbit Ears (World Television Day)
The Episodes Deltarune Max Payne Persona 4 television TV vgm World Television Day
The tele. The Console. The Idiot Box. The Boobtube. The Telly. The Big Screen. The Tube.
If you recognize any of these terms, most likely you’ve watched the television while growing up, that electronic box with cables running behind it and sometimes is attached to a pair of antennae (aka rabbit ears).
Today we are celebrating World Television Day, in honor of the TV. Proclaimed by The United Nations General Assembly back in December 1996 on this day, this day is to recognize the impact that the television has had on the world, covering many social and economic major issues and influencing many decisions in times of conflict and threats to peace and security. It is a source of information the reports locally, nationally, and worldwide, sometimes live. It is a place of entertainment that has become appointed time for family and friends for certain programs. It is a device that shows history in the making.
We’ll be playing tracks from video games that feature the television: a cop finding the killer of his family, a teenage student drawn into another world, and another teenager saving the world with a monster and a prince. We’ve also got remixes to follow each track in the episode.
Sit back in the chair or couch, reach for the remote, and turn up the volume…

Episode 67 - Rando Calrissian and the Calamitous Comboy Conspiracy
An ordinary refueling stop turns dangerous when Rando Calrissian’s space cruiser gets stolen, leaving him stranded on the second moon of Monmoor Delta. But when Rando tries to get a ticket to somewhere, anywhere else, he runs afoul of the bewitching green-skinned Crura Fallopian and her syndicate. What does Crura want? And how is she connected to the mysterious Comboy Conglomerate, the company that seems to run everything on Monmoor Delta? Listen to this grab bag of VGM to find out!

NERD NOISE RERUNS: C1E40 - "Listener Picks - vol. 1" (orig released 12/20/2018)
2025 Rerun Notes: In anticipation of this month's incoming C1E99: "Listener Picks - vol 3", we are rerunning both previous installments of the Listener Picks trilogy this month! Today's rerun is the inaugural installment, from all the way back in 2018. It features a semi-standard intro and outro, and a standard mixtape - with the exception of the fact that every track is selected by the listeners (40 tracks - 18 contributors) - and that the intro and outro are guest-curated by a collage of 11 of those same 18 contributors. It was also, at the time, the longest non-retrospective episode in show history - and featured a long, glorious outtakes reel at the end! C1E99 will share a great many of these same attributes! It will feature 70 tracks, collectively selected by 8 listeners (6 of which also contributed to today's rerun (and 3 of which were also featured in vol 2). At just under 3.5hrs, it will also be the longest mixtape in non-retrospective Ch 1 history (even if this new record nearly doubles the [then] record which the 2018 episode set). And it will also feature a semi-standard intro and outro, largely guest-hosted by a collage of the contributing listeners. In fact, unlike today's rerun, this time every single track contributor also contribute their voices to the intro and outro (except for the one which prizes anonimity and requested a text-to-speech be used in his place). And I also anticipate 99 to feature a fairly decent outtakes reel - though not quite as robust and spectacular as today's rerun. So, where vol 2 is less a "sequel" to vol 1 per se, and more of an "omake" (or an "outtakes") of vol 1, the upcoming vol 3 will be the true sequel to today's rerun. The long-awaited "echo". The "let's do this exact same thing one more time". In fact, due to a joint failure of double-checking from both St. John and the contributing listener, C1E99 will even feature one track that was featured in today's rerun. So be on the look out for that and see if you can spot which one it is before the reveal! And yes, it even was the same contributing listener in both episodes! D'oh! :-) Lastly, as always: all the usual caveats about how much worse my production quality was back in 2018 than it is today, and not to judge the current state of NNR production quality by this rerun. If you are new, and this is your first exposure to NNR, and you enjoyed the content, but were put off by the production, either go back and listen to a recent episode, such as C1E98 or C1E96....or perhaps even better, keep your eyes peeled for C1E99, which is basically this all over again, but at 2025's far improved production quality standards! And with that, please enjoy the absolute block party that is C1E40 - Listener Picks - vol 1, and keep an eye out for the trilogy's incoming 2nd (rerun) and 3rd (fresh) installments! Cheers! Cheers! -------------------------------------------------------------- Original Show Notes:

If you wish to subscribe to the "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" podcast - audio-only, there are two options:
Option 1: Subscribe right here to the "Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels" podcast feed. Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed. Therefore it is STRONGLY recommended that you subscribe to this Nerd Noise Radio feed and bypass all others. This one will contain all their content anyway.
Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 ("Noise from the Hearts of Nerds") episodes, and not in any of the other content that is or will be offered by Nerd Noise Radio, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. It is STRONGLY recommended for most listeners to subscribe to the All-Channels feed instead. However, if you really are only interested in Channel 1 content, here's the RSS:
http://www.buzzsprout.com/77944.rss

Additionally, there are YouTube Playlists you can follow, both an "All Channels" Feed (recommended), as well as channel-specific feeds. You can find them here:

Thanks for listening! Be on the lookout for Part 2 to our listener pick party! Part 2 will be a Channel F "F-isode", and will be in a completely different format.

Then join us again in January (date TBD) for a very special announcement about the future of the show. It's not going away - far from it! But big changes are coming for 2019. Make sure you tune it! And wherever you are - Fly the N!
Cheers!

Episode 198: On Stage Now – Noteblock
The Episodes Noteblock vgm
Yup, in the middle of the month, it’s our special episode of “On Stage Now” (and actually, the last one for this year until January next year), and this month’s musician is Noteblock.
Noteblock (real name Evan) is a video game remixer and composer. He has been remixing since 2014 every other week. He has done solos and collabs with other musicians, like Theology, Lacey Johnson, and Vector_U. He has also composed for two video games, Mago and Undertale Yellow. He has appeared in several episodes, starting with 75 (Masters of VGM, Keiichi Suzuki), with his remix of “Sanctuary Guardians” from Earthbound, and then 83, 84, 86, 119, 125, 154, 186, and 196.
Seriously, why did I take this long? But hopefully this makes up for it all. Enjoy these tracks…

It’s a time to show an appreciation for their work in and out of the courtroom, preparing and filing the paperwork, researching for precedence and evidence, and trying to sway the judge and jury in their favor. Whether you love them or despise them, lawyer are necessary in upholding our rights and privileges in accordance to the law.

Now, let’s all rise in the courtroom as the judge walks and brings the court in session…

KVGM “The Last Wave” (11/2/25)
Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It’s the smooth crash of KVGM “The Last Wave”, with your host, Hammock. A biweekly VGM podcast bringing you the jammiest video game music from all your favorite composers and consoles. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.
Happy Post-Halloween and it’s somehow already November but that’s okay, that’s alright, we’re still here, the world is still burning, but we’re still churning (see what I did there) out the jams. We’re leaning heavy on the PS4 this week but that’s okay but we’re dealing straight jams (and sometimes gentle jammers).

Episode 195: Jet Grind Radio
The Episodes Jet Grind Radio vgm
Today, October 24th, Jet Grind Radio (first released in Japan as Jet Set Radio) was released in the North American regions for the Sega Dreamcast. It was an action, single-player platforming game that involved tagging over rival gang’s graffiti throughout Tokyo to regain territory, while avoiding other gang members and the authorities. You’ll also learn there’s a certain vinyl being sought as you’re helping another gang member find their friend.
We’re playing some in-house tracks from the game and their remixes and arrangements, most from another soundtrack from another game within the series.
Tighten your laces, check your paint can nozzles, and prepare to hear some awesome beats and melodies.

Episode 194: On Stage Now – CG5
The Episodes CG5 vgm
It’s that time again for our… wait a minute. The end of the month is not here. Why? Because October 31st, Halloween, falls on a Friday, so I’ve decided to switch places so that I can do a proper Friday episode for Halloween. For this week, we’ve got our special episode of “On Stage Now”, featuring CG5.
CG5 (real name Charlie Green) is a musical talent who sings, produces, and composes. While most of his works are covers and remixes of video game music, he also creates, with a little help from some collabs, original music inspired by video games. He was first featured in “Episode 36: Fall has arrived!”, with his remix of “Weird Autumn” with GameChops, and recently in “Episode 184: That Darn Cat (International Cat Day)”, singing an original composition for “Poppy Playtime: Chapter 3” titled “Sleep Well”. Currently, CG5 is traveling globally for his “Too Many Songs” Tour.
Prepare to be impressed and mystified by the works of CG5…

Episode 193: Team Fortress 2
The Episodes Team Fortress 2 vgm
Today’s episode is a celebration of Team Fortress 2, released on October 10, 2007. It was a part of The Orange Box, which included Half-Life 2, Episodes 1 and 2 of HL2, and Portal. It was later ported to the Sony PlayStation 3 and later made as a standalone the following year for Microsoft Windows. Three years later, Team Fortress 2 became free-to-play.
You’ll play as one of nine classes for either team RED or BLU, competing against the other team to bring the intelligence briefcase, capture the control point, or move or prevent the payload from reaching point B. Some classes, such as the Soldier, Heavy, and Pyro, dealt damage, while other classes provided support, such as the Engineer and the Medic. Some classes were specialized, like the Scout, the Sniper, and Spy.
We’ll be playing several tracks from the game and their matching remixes. There’s also a small tribute to the Soldier’s VA, Rick May.
“Mission begins in sixty seconds…”
Team Fortress 2 Official Soundtrack (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Bandcamp, Deezer)

Episode 126 – Human Entertainment: The Musical History
Companies Human Entertainment Patreon Track VGM Human HumanEnt HumanEntertainment
Today on XVGM Radio, we’re taking a look (and listen) to the audio history of Human Entertainment. Formed via a merger between Try Co. Ltd. and Communicate Inc in 1987, Human Entertainment was initially called Sonata, mostly handling ports from larger developers such as Konami and Bandai. After two years of this, 1989 saw the name change to Human Entertainment, where the company began creating their own IPs. Learn about how they created a development school which is where many of their development staff came from, their bankruptcy in 1999, and where many of their more notable staff members ended up continuing on the tradition of making weird, wacky games. Justin and Mike as the question: is a Human Sports Festival played with Humans as the balls? With a surprising mix of both wavetable tunes and redbook audio, there’s a bunch of variety in musical genres to choose from with Human Entertainment and it’s ONLY on XVGM Radio!

Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights.
Produced using a nearly equal mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Workstation Linux on an ASUS ROG Zephyrus 14 (2023) laptop with perhaps a little support from a Dell Latitude 7480 (running Fedora COSMIC Linux), a 2017-spec DIY gaming PC (running Bazzite Linux) or the Steam Deck (running Steam OS Linux). Recorded with a Shure SM7B XLR dynamic microphone on a RØDE PSA1+ boom arm through a Cloudlifter and a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB interface!

Channel F: "One for Wyatt"
In this very special edition of Nerd Noise Radio Channel F, St. John's 7yr old son, St. Wyatt makes his Nerd Noise Radio debut (at least, in all the ways that matter). This episode will be a miniature of the Channel 2 format - with only one track! Circumstances: St. John *MEANT* to include a track from one of Wyatt's iPad games into the mixtape of C1E98: "Mishmash Monday - vol. 17", but realized way too late into that episode's production that he had completely spaced it off. He briefly considered going back into the mixtape and the voice track and retroactively adding the track. But then decided to instead use the occasion of his complete air-headedness to "turn lemons into lemonade" and and introduce Wyatt into the show - something that had been in the back of St. John's mind since the day Wyatt was born. While Wyatt has yet to master the art of radio communication (I hope everyone likes "salad"), this F-isode absolutely melts my heart!....I hope it will you too! Lastly, I actually really like this track....and once again, I hope you will too! Given St. John's penchant for "ironically, humorously literal titles", this one is aptly named: "One for Wyatt!"

Episode 191: On Stage Now – Vincent Moretto
The air is getting colder, the days are getting shorter, and that means September is almost over. That also means it’s time for our special episode of “On Stage Now”, where we feature a VGM cover or remix musician or group with some info and then play their repertoire of works. This month’s musician is […]Tempest 2000
[Episode 42] This month, barSILENCE is blasting through the colorific tube-sliding action of Tempest 2000 on the Atari Jaguar!
Jeff Minter’s legendary reimagining of the 1981 classic is a hypnotic, fast-paced game built for the new millennium with vibrant colors, particle effects, and creative level designs. Add a rave-ready soundtrack packed with high-energy techno and sci-fi voice samples, and you’ve got yourself an awesome cyberpunky Y2K experience.
It’s easy to see why this is one of the Jaguar’s best games AND one of its best soundtracks!
Time to fire up the superzapper, take control of the tubes, and set a new high score. Zappo!

[RERUN] [Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - C1E10: Mishmash Monday - vol. 1 (orig. rel. 05/22/17)
2025 Rerun Notes: In commemoration of this month release of the last-ever Mishmash Monday on Channel 1, I thought I'd rerun the first two installments of the series - both from all the way back in 2017 (Season 1 of the show). Therefore, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" and blah blah blah (especially on C1E10, the earlier of the two releases). Though this rerun is "officially" and "canonically" the first "Mishmash Monday" (free play) episode in Nerd Noise Radio history, it is really "Mishmash Monday in name only" as it wasn't truly a free play. Instead, it was designed with a very specific purpose and with each track housing a very specific meaning. Though I explain and elaborate fully in a 2019 special expanded rebroadcast of this episode we called "Chandlerfest", which I'll link to below, for now, the tl;dr is that this mixtape was actually made in commemoration for a friend who died entirely too young in Dec 2016, and whose absence we still feel regularly from here in 2025. When I got the news, I left work, went home, and turned my grief into tortured energy, and made this mixtape, with the design philosophy being to use the tracks and the particular arch of the track order to tell the story of the emotions of those of us left behind in his wake as we processed the news of his departure. With this being a 2017 episode, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" (especially episodes from the first half of 2017, which were even worse than those from the second half.) But content-wise, this early outing remains one of the most important episodes of Nerd Noise Radio....ever. Here's a link to Chandlerfest for anyone who wants to know more: https://terraplayer.com/shows/nerd-noise-radio/nerd-noise-radio-reruns-presents-chandlerfest Otherwise, enjoy! Original 2017 show notes below! ------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s broadcast is Episode 10 for Mishmash Monday, May 22nd, 2017 on a program we're calling "Mishmash Monday vol. 1"
This episode is dedicated to the memory of Chris Chandler.

If you wish to subscribe to the Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 Music block podcast, there are two options:
Option 1: Subscribe right here to the "Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels" podcast feed. Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed.
Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 episodes, and not in any of the other channels, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. If this is what you want instead, here's the RSS:

Episode 189: Steam Has Crashed!
Sometimes a video game is so popular and hyped-up that it may cause the servers to crash: too many people trying to buy and too many players online at the same time. It’s frustrating, testing a player’s patience, taxing a computer’s CPU, and straining the Internet lines. The recent release of “Hollow Knight: Silksong” is […]Episode 65 - Revenge on the Green!
We’re headed back to the fairway for more golf game greatness! Listen to this one and hear from professional golf legends like Jack Nicklaus, Fred Couples, and Chi-Chi Rodríguez! Or at least some video games that they got paid to endorse.
Special thanks for this episode goes out to:

It’s a simple matter of smashing the buttons […][RERUN] [Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - C1E16: Mishmash Monday - vol. 2 (orig. rel. 10/09/17)
2025 Rerun Notes: In commemoration of this month release of the last-ever Mishmash Monday on Channel 1, I thought I'd rerun the first two installments of the series - both from all the way back in 2017 (Season 1 of the show). Therefore, all the obvious caveats on "absolutely atrocious production quality" and blah blah blah (especially on C1E10, the earlier of the two releases). Though today's rerun is officially, canonically the "second" Mishmash Monday, it's actually the first "for real" Mishmash Monday. The first "actual free play episode". Not that it was produced before C1E10, but released later, but that C1E10 was a "Mishmash Monday" in name only, and was definitely not a true free play. I'll explain in that episode's rerun. But for now, numbers and dates aside, this was our first actual "free play" episode in NNR history. And even though the production quality is so absolutely horrible, I still regard this episode as an excellent collection of music! Easily in our top 50% of show history, and perhaps even top 25%. So, enjoy! Original 2017 show notes below! ------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s broadcast is Episode 16 for Mishmash Monday, October 9th, 2017 on a program we're calling "Mishmash Monday - vol. 2".

If you wish to subscribe to the Nerd Noise Radio - Channel 1 Music block podcast, there are two options:
Option 1: Subscribe right here to the "Nerd Noise Radio Network - All Channels" podcast feed. Feed will include Channels 1, 2, 3, and any future channels not yet planned. Feed will also include podcasts in high quality, stereo where applicable, and episodes will never expire off the feed.
Option 2: If you're ONLY interested in Channel 1 episodes, and not in any of the other channels, there is a Channel 1-specific feed. But it's hosted on a free account, rather than an upgraded account like the "All Channels Feed" with lower quality sound (mono, I believe), a maximum 2hrs per month of content (so if the month's episodes run longer than that, they may need to be trimmed), and episodes expire off the feed forever after 90 days. If this is what you want instead, here's the RSS:

[Ch F] MAKRANA Soundtrack - feat. Matt Miller of Chronarian Games
Today's "F-isode" is the soundtrack to the upcoming indie game "MAKRANA" designed, developed, and scored by Matt Miller of Des Moines-based Chronarian Games. Matt sits in with St. John at Nerd Noise Studios for a Channel 2-style in-person conversation to discuss the soundtrack and various other matters of varying degrees of relevance. ;-)
All tracks from the game MAKRANA, an upcoming game by Chronarian Games for PS5, XBSX and probably other platforms as well. All tracks composed, arranged, and performed by Matt Miller.
Tracklist
A1) "Production Disclaimer" Earcatcher (St. John on the now NNR-customary $400 Shure SM7B Mic) - 00:00:00
A2) "Episode Opener" Earcatcher (St. John on the now long-deprecated $100 AudioTechnica AT2020 Mic which was the mic St. John used on NNR from 2017-2022) - 00:00:59
01) "ZENITH" (game and track titles all capitalized for stylistic purposes by developer) a) Music - 00:01:12 b) Discussion and Top-of-Show Business (St. John and Matt sharing a single AT2020) - 00:04:50
02) "OBSERVE" a) Music - 00:29:39 b) Discussion (all voice recordings from here on out using that same single AT2020) - 00:33:27
03) "REFLECT" a) Music - 00:47:59 b) Discussion (our shortest conversation of the episode by far!) - 00:51:47
04) "QUADRANT" a) Music - 00:59:04 b) Discussion - 01:03:21
05) "DEVIATE" a) Music - 01:28:28 b) Discussion and End-of-Show Business - 01:33:51 B1) Outtakes - 02:04:08
Total Episode Runtime: 02:10:02
Matt and Chronarian Games can be found at www.chronariangames.com as well as on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, BlueSky, Mastodon, YouTube, and X.
Special Thanks to Erin Miller, Nora Miller, and Jodee Wedgeworth (aka "St. Jodee") for making this recording session / episode possible.
Produced in a mix of Audacity and Ardour in Fedora Linux on a 2023-model Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 gaming laptop (docked in a "desktop" context) using the aforementioned mics, a Focusrite 4i4 XLR-to-USB audio interface, and in the case of the SM7B, a Cloudlifter in-line signal booster. No alcohol was involved in this recording - however, I do think sleep deprivation may have been a factor! ;-) :-D
Enjoy!!

Buckle up for exciting discussion about the game as well as reviewing interviews with Keiji Inafune and some of the illustration artists taken from the Mega Man Official Complete Works book!

A top-tier show this week (in my humble opinion) with some real, to quote today’s youth, bangers…or bootyboppers…or thighslappers…or humdingers. Whatever you want to call a jam. Just don’t say bop. Please.

[RERUN] [Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - NERD NOISE CROSSOVERS: “C1E64: ThreeFer Thursday” (orig rel. 05/12/22)
2025 Rerun Notes: A very unique episode in show history, the only time we ever did a "ThreeFer". It's a bit of a long episode, and this was back when I was still using a cheaper mic and less sophisticated production techniques, but I still remain very proud of this episode from a content perspective. Original 2022 show notes below! ------------------------------------------------------------------
Today’s broadcast is C1E64 for Nerd Noise Crossovers, Thursday, 05/12/2022. Today’s Crossover is "ThreeFer Thursday" - which is, among standard format Ch 1 episodes for "just ordinary occasions", our longest episode to date. So hunker down and buckle up for what is going to be quite the musical journey! Also the Ch 1 debut of the new mic, higher quality copies of the intro/outro background music, and my new production techniques. I'm exceptionally proud of this episode, and hope you will find it exceptionally enjoyable!
