Hello listeners, this episode of the Video Game a podcast is late.

Very late. Due to forgetfulness, some technical issues and a dose of sheer laziness on my end,

this chat with Bear McCreery has taken quite a few months to get out.

We recorded this episode back in mid-February to promote two things,

the 20th anniversary PlayStation concert, which included some of Bear

McCreery's music, and Bear Macquarie's still ongoing themes and variations tour, which is

wrapping up at the end of this month in Australia.

Hopefully this delay doesn't detract too much from enjoying the episode, but feel free

to grill me in whatever comments are still active on whatever platforms have comments turned on.

I will not be reading them, but you're free to do it anyway and enjoy. Hello, Bear, how are you doing, getting ready for your big tour?

I'm doing very well.

And yes, I am getting ready in the midst of tour prep while I am writing on many projects.

Too many projects, one might argue.

But yeah, life is good, man.

I'm very excited about everything I get to do.

How does it feel being like

one of the composers i would say your your filmography well i guess what is a an ography between

I mean, uh, I was just thinking recently that the longest stretch in my life since I was

13 of me not writing music at my computer will be when I'm on tour.

Oh, my goodness.

So you could argue that this tour is like, well, that's me not working.
