Spelunking. Recording a mine shaft. The modularity of both circus and casino game music. RV’s flying apart while in transit. Awkward job interviews. In this episode I talk to Gabe Romero and Dan Glynn, both former circus musicians for Ringling, and both sound designers for Konami here in Vegas. They are also the founding members of the band Greybag, whose latest album is called Never Meant To Stay.Greybag’s website:https://www.greybagmusic.com/Never Meant To Stay on Bandcamp:https://greybagmusic.bandcamp.com/album/never-meant-to-stay

Game Jams. Post Secondary Postulations. Beatmapping. Spaced-Out Studs. Alexa Thanos (Thay-nohs, not the purple guy) is my first guest after a year of no podding. We talk about her roots as a musician, her partnership with Sean Ettlin to form Spaced Out Studios, their newest album The Little Bookshelf, and overall just have a great discussion about creating music.Alexa’s Website https://www.alexathanos.com/homeAlexa’s Twitter https://twitter.com/tinythanosSpaced Out Studio’s Website https://www.spacedoutstudios.co/Spaced Out Studio’s Twitter https://twitter.com/spacedout_studsAlexa and Sean’s latest album https://spacedoutstudios.bandcamp.com/album/the-little-bookshelf-albumSpace Cadet Academy: https://www.spacedoutstudios.co/space-cadet-academyMonochrome Motif Records: https://monochromemotif.bandcamp.com/artistsBadself Media: https://badselfmedia.com/

Spicer returns from a year long hiatus from poddin’, bruised but not broken, having tried his hand at a career in game audio just in time for the Layoffalypse™ of 2023.

Spicer plugs his friends' projects in the most narcissistic way possible.Links:Digital Scorpion Interactive’s website https://digitalscorpioninteractive.com/DSI on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/search?term=digi_scorpChris Polus on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ChrisPolus?s=20Zach Fried on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arecibofilms/Mat Hayes’ Shafted on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt21980872/Hare Runner on itch.io: https://crychair.itch.io/harerunnerMiyukiew (Hare Runner artist) on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miyukiew/
