We’re only six months into 2024 and Pierre Crochart has listened to more than 500 video game soundtracks. As the founder and editor of NOWPLAYING, a newsletter and podcast curating video game music, Pierre is on a mission to discover and showcase the amazing world of video game music, with a particular focus on celebrating lesser-known soundtracks.

We discuss the challenges of keeping up with the latest releases and which music platforms are best for video game soundtracks before Pierre discusses some of his recent discoveries. Expect to hear fu-age jazz from Mansur Brown, Erik Satie’s Gymnopédies with breakbeats, and a Japanese match-3 game with a soundtrack that sounds like it was written by Polyphia.
