We're back with a panel of four this time, and how else could we follow up our primer to female game composers than to discuss the inimitable Yoko Shimomura and her many contributions to RPG music? We've got Live A Live, Kingdom Hearts, Mario RPGs, and more...not to mention a large amount of Legend of Mana. Shimomura has been a force helping game music gain recognition as an art form, so join Hilary, Pat, Peter, and Greg as they delve into her legacy, performances, interpretations of her work, and her many years in the industry as well! This episode also features several notable related links below, all of which come up in the episode. Don't forget to take a peek!
Featuring: Hilary Andreff, Greg Delmage, Patrick Gann, Peter Triezenberg; Edited by Mike Salbato
