One of Chattanooga's key musicians and Super Deluxe contributor, Nick Lutsko, has a chat with me about his career, puppets, viral marketing and much more. His most recent album, Etc., has become a favourite of mine and I recommend it to everyone.

![THE SOUND TEST 2 - #08 - Sea of Thieves (w/Robin Beanland) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW / PODCAST]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/d7-we73CdNo/mqdefault.jpg "THE SOUND TEST 2 - #08 - Sea of Thieves (w/Robin Beanland) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW / PODCAST]
Sea of Thieves is a multiplayer pirate adventure complete with sailing, cutlasses, sea monsters and even interactive shanties. Though given a cartoonish and playful feel, as is often the case with Rare, its creation and continued evolution are taken very seriously. That’s exemplified in Sea of Thieves’ music, which uses an arsenal of intriguing instruments in its authentic sound. In fact, its composer, Robin Beanland, received an Ivor Novello award in 2019 for his inventive OST. But its strength, and clever use of generative elements, are to be expected from Robin – a Rare mainstay who cut his teeth on Killer Instinct before writing immensely popular scores like Conker’s Bad Fur Day.
After leaving a huge Robin Beanland-shaped hole in my first series of VGM podcasts, I was particularly eager to speak to him for ST2. As a result, this is only the first of two appearances, with the second covering his output on the Nintendo 64.

![Coolpunk Paradise [ONE-NIGHT VGM]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/e9xs7egzAO8/mqdefault.jpg "Coolpunk Paradise [ONE-NIGHT VGM]
In 1999, as mankind prepared to enter a new millennium, Hypnospace was the height of cool. Not only did it allow you to surf a network of interesting and creative pages, but it also operated as you slept. Such amazing technology has only slipped into obscurity today thanks to the infamously tragic Mindcrash event and, since, weve had to be content with dreams as our only source of sleeptime entertainment.
When it was thriving, Hypnospace was home to a number of fleeting cultural phenomenons. Everyone who grew up in the 90s remembers Coolpunk; the icy, soda-fuelled musical genre that froze all our hearts as Y2K loomed. Of course, we all know what happened to Fre3zer, but I never stopped believing in the power of Coolpunk. Sure, I got into the Fungus Scene and still like to drip when I can, but this is my reminder of a simpler time, when all youve gotta gotta worry about is being colder than the rest, and making sure to chill it right.

![THE SOUND TEST #16 - Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (w/Grant Kirkhope) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW/PODCAST]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/fO-ccUc9Y6U/mqdefault.jpg "THE SOUND TEST #16 - Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle (w/Grant Kirkhope) [COMPOSER INTERVIEW/PODCAST]
In 2017, Davide Soliani brought two of gamings most successful franchises together into a truly madcap marriage. Made up of Mario, perhaps the most famous face in the industry, and Ubisofts Raving Rabbids, who have dominated the party genre for a decade, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle is a turn-based love letter to each. As an important release for the Nintendo Switch, it demanded strength in every department. Therefore, the legendary Grant Kirkhope was a natural choice to take on its original soundtrack. Armed with a full orchestra and the determination to live up to such composers as Koji Kondo, Grant wrote a gorgeous, classical score. Together, we take a look at its production process, and some of the philosophies behind it.
