barSILENCE is a retrospective video game music podcast that celebrates the music, composers, and history behind some of gaming’s best soundtracks. You might discover something you’ve never heard or reconnect with something you already love along the way.
Casting barSILENCE boosts your resistance against a silent world.
[Episode 47] This month, barSILENCE is exploring the dynamic soundtrack of Tetris Effect by Hydelic.

Buck Bumble
[Episode 46] This month, barSILENCE is buzzing as we bump to the bass of the soundtrack to Buck Bumble on the Nintendo 64!
The now-infamous main theme has taken on a life of its own, reaching a meme-like status that has followed the game ever since its 1998 release.
Backed by the technical pedigree of Argonaut Software, composer Justin Scharvona channeled the London Speed Garage scene so authentically that Buck Bumble could truly stand as a legitimate entry in the genre. Not just the soundtrack to a game about a cyber bee.
Are you ready?
Because RIGHT ABOUT NOW it's time to rock with the biggity Buck Bumble!

It's time to catch a breeze. And when it’s over, there is only one thing left to ask:
Did you luxuriate in the wind?
