In Conversation with Ross Tregenza (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game, Cyberpunk 2077) Nov 01, 2023

Show notes

Video game composer and sound designer Ross Tregenza joins us to discuss the process of creating all the sounds for the new Texas Chain Saw Massacre video game and maintaining a faithful atmosphere to Tobe Hooper’s 1974 film. Tregenza’s soundtrack plays separately from the game as an excellent dark ambient album rich in tension. We discuss how he got into the industry, his work for Cyberpunk 2077, varying levels of chicken agitation and composing for games in general.

For the ExtraNOISEXTRA segment, Ross talks about his favorite video games and horror movies.

The Last House on Dead End Street (with Adam Higgins of Vombis) Oct 18, 2023

Show notes

October screamed for an episode on a soundtrack and a movie, and we landed on the hate-filled nihilism of “The Last House on Dead End Street.” In the first part of the episode, we talk to Adam Higgins who released the soundtrack on LP. He tells us how the record came together and how he figured out where all the tracks came from. After he heads back to work, we get into the movie itself. It is very appropriate listening and watching for the darkest month.

For the ExtraNoisextra segment on the patreon, we discuss other favorite soundtracks.

Today we go through issue #6 of “Audio Drudge” from 1995. Each of us focused on one interview — Mike took Namanax, Tara took Smell & Quim, and Greh took Daniel Menche — and report that our findings. We then go over the issues as a whole, including the ads and the many great reviews. This is a style of episode we plan to continue…let us know any zines you’d like us to go through. Print media forever.
