Deep Interview: Video Game Composer and Remix Master 2 Mello on the Intersection of Games and Hip Hop

Deep Listens is a gaming podcast series I'm recording with a few of my friends. Every two weeks we pick and play a new game and then discuss it from a literary, philosophical, and game design perspective. Its kind of like a book club for videogames. We try to dig as deep as we can on an individual game every episode so check it out!

In this episode of Deep Listens, we are joined by video game composer and mix master @2mello to discuss his work and his views on music. We discuss how Mello became a composer for indie games, what his creative process has looked like for each of his projects, and how his role on each of his projects evolved over time. Then Mello discusses how he actually produced or found the sounds he used for the soundtrack of Read Only Memories. We eventually pivot to Mello's much beloved remix alums. Billy and Gino dive deep into some of their favorite albums, Chrono Jigga and Nastlevania with the maestro himself. We finish up some advice from Mello to aspiring composers and a round of rapid fire questions.
