Pat did an interview with the composers of the indie game Cosmic Star Heroine this past fall with a giveaway of some of the game’s soundtrack to a few lucky individuals. Now that the game’s OST is available for purchase on the HyderDuck SoundWorks Bandcamp, we have a few extra codes to throw out to a few additional lucky readers!
As Shawn posted last month, the music for the action rhythm game Klang is now available on multiple platforms. To promote the game’s OST, the guys from GameChops have crafted a music video to help illustrate how powerfully the music and gameplay work in tandem within the game.
The game’s soundtrack features 34 tracks and can be found on Bandcamp, Amazon Music and more on the Klang soundtrack page.
If you’ve played the game and have not yet purchased the soundtrack or you’re a fan of composer bLiNd’s work, then you’re in luck. OSV has been given two codes for free copies of the Klang OST on Bandcamp. Comment on this post with your email address and share this post via Facebook or Twitter (post a link so we can see!) to win a chance at one of these two codes. We’ll pick the winner randomly by the end of the week!
Well friends… as promised in our extended interview two weeks prior, we have five digital copies of the COSMIC STAR HEROINE soundtrack to distribute!
… soon … well, in December, actually. When it comes out, first week of December, we will distribute the codes.
But for now, we thought we’d announce the winners! The five of you will receive an email from me [Patrick] today, and separate emails when the Bandcamp distribution codes are ready in early December. Now then, drumroll please…

For those who wanted to know the answer to our entrance quiz: “In Cosmic Star Heroine, there is a particular bounty hunter who has quite the affinity for capes: can you tell us his name, and his weapon of choice?”
Name: Z’xorv | Weapon: Claws
And now you know! We wish we could’ve given away codes to everyone! For those of you who still want it, remember that you can preorder it for 7 GBP here.
Earlier this week, we had the opportunity to catch up with everyone’s favorite Irish musical duo. Okay, maybe not everyone’s favorite … there are probably loads of Irish musical duos out there. But if we narrow it down to Irish VGM duos, it might be safer to say that Chris Geehan and Dan Byrne-McCullough of HyperDuck SoundWorks top the category.
In the past few years, their work on Dust: An Elysian Tail and Penny Arcade’s On The Rain-Slick Precipice Of Darkness 4 have defined their sound and given them a strong fanbase. In the following interview, we get set for what’s to come, as well as how you can win a free digital version of the upcoming Cosmic Star Heroine OST when it arrives (digitally, via Bandcamp) on December 7th of this year.

If you’re a fan of nerdcore hip-hop artist Mega Ran and have been waiting with baited breath for the release of Mighty No.9, then this will be a double-score!
Random Beats has released “Your Favorite Song” from Mega Ran’s upcoming album, RNDM. The new album is set to release on September 15 of this year and will feature “Mighty!,” a collaboration with the fantastic Mega Man composer Manami Matsumae which will be featured during the credits of Mighty No. 9. As if that wasn’t enough, there will also be an additional collaboration with Castlevania composer Michiru Yamane.
“This is a dream come true. “I’ve been working hard to land a videogame placement, and for this one to be the one, with a game and creator that I’m so close to, so inspired by, this is such a storybook tale. I’m really fortunate and I hope this is the first of many.”

You can pre-order RNDM on Bandcamp get in on the giveaway while the getting is good. You can also follow Mega Ran’s collaboration with Mighty No. 9 on the Random Beats website.

UPDATE: The giveaway is now over. Congratulations to those of you who won the OST! As a bonus, you now have @OSVGameMusic following you too.
Okay, I know, it’s been a full week with no updates.
The VGO Boston trip absolutely wiped me out. Pathetic excuse, I realize, but those are the facts. SOLID coverage of the event, as well as interviews with the guest composers, are on the way.
But before that, I want y’all to know that we’re giving away *five* copies of the digital-only OST for Dust: An Elysian Tail. Want one? Here’s how you get one:
Step 1 – follow us on Twitter.
Step 2 – tweet us with a message about Dust! Use hashtag #DustOff for great justice!
Step 3 – if you win, we’ll follow you back and DM you the info to get your free OST!
Simple. Awesome. Now get tweeting. We’ll update this post when they’re all given away.
And check back tomorrow for our VGO concert report!
Alright people, we’ve been telling you every last detail we can squeeze out of VGO founder and concert organizer Shota Nakama at every turn of the way. We even have a special episode of Original SoundCast going up tomorrow with more details on the October 7 show, the guests, MAGFest 11 plans, and more.
But today, I have something EXTRA special. Two VIP tickets (great seats plus access to the meet-and-greet with Shimomura, Sakimoto, Iwadare and Yamashita), courtesy of OSV, to anyone who would be able to attend the show on Sunday, October 7 2012 in Boston.
To enter: email me ([email protected] with subject line “VGO Boston Tix!” telling me what, if you got the chance, you’d want to say in person to these four special guests and to the Video Game Orchestra and its founder Shota Nakama. The winner will, of course, get that chance. We’ll be giving both tickets to the winner, who is free to bring a friend or give the ticket to another VGM fan. Please, NO re-selling! These tickets combined are worth $200, making them the most valuable giveaway OSV has done to date.
Start sending those emails, and good luck! We’ll announce the winner on Friday, so the window of opportunity to win is tight!
Meanwhile, you’ll also want to check out the latest announcements at the VGO Kickstarter, which includes the setlist for the show and the expected tracklist for the CD.
