Have a listen to Les Claypool's music for Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars

     Music

Gamecock goes behind the scenes with Matt Piersall, main audio guy on Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars. Matt talks about some of his inspirations that helped him come up with the audio for Mushroom Men, and how everything in the game is connected to the music. Matt also talks about Les Claypool’s involvement with the game and you can actually hear one of Les’ song for the game in the first half of the video.

I don’t know about you, but I have a giant craving for Primus right now. I’ve always been a fan of Les’ bass guitar work and the Mushroom Men music (so far) sounds great. It would be great if Gamecock includes a soundtrack CD when the game is released this November. What do you all think of the music?

Audio-related stuff is always fascinating to watch/listen to. I love the idea of syncing the world's sounds to the metronome.

Les Claypool Bands (all of these are fucking awesome):
Primus
Oysterhead (Les, Trey from Phish, and Stuart from The Police)
Colonel Claypool's Bucket of Burnie Brains (Les and Buckethead)
Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade
Les Claypool and The Fancy Band (the first band on the video)

Pendelton21, let us not forget that Bernie Worell plays keys in Bucket of Bernie Brains and Brain is a sick drummer. Also, there's a band called SAUSAGE that Les is in that is also badass. Gotta love Claypool.

From what I have seen of the gameplay, the game itself somewhat mediocre. That being said, this approach to sound design is both facinating and compelling. I'm not saying I would play the game to experience the audio work that has been applied, but I certainly wouldn't mind seeing some other games cop the approach for themselves.

Thanks for the tip about sausage, p_rosky!

Also, I know how fucking awesome Bernie and Brain are, but most people around here will be drawn to the fact that Buckethead is there.

I love Les' work.
I actually went to see a show during the tour that they show clips of. It's always a good live show.

I believe I saw Les mention in an interview that he plans to incorporate some of these songs into his live set, and he also wants to release some of these tracks on his new CD.
