Into the Score interviews zircon on Final Fantasy VII “Voices of the Lifestream”
Thanks to siven7 for forwarding the news.
Like I’ve said before, Kenley Kristofferson’s got some good energy as a radio personality on Into the Score. He’s so nice to people, you just can’t hate the guy. I’d almost love to see him swear up and down in his Canadian accent, just to verify that he actually can.
Early this month, Kenley interviewed Andrew “zircon” Aversa for the podcast’s 13th episode (released this past Thursday), covering the OC ReMix album that the latter directed, Final Fantasy VII’s Voices of the Lifestream.
A whole host of topics were covered including the many originally planned contributors dropping out, how Voices compared to other OCR album projects, what zircon would have done differently with hindsight, standout pieces arranging obscure material, the creation process of the popular “Black Wing Metamorphosis”, the diversity of fan reactions, celebrity endorsements, and the highlighting of upcoming projects on OverClocked ReMix.
In addition, several selections from the album were interspersed throughout the interview. Clocking in at nearly 72 minutes, even if you’ve already heard all of the arrangements that are played, you’ll end up learning a lot about the album from the head honcho himself.
As Kenley would say, “Right on!”
