Episode 21: Jeff van Dyck

Brent and Rob conduct an interview with acclaimed video game music composer Jeff van Dyck.  He gives a fascinating look into composing 16-bit tunes as well as an explanation of the Genesis and SNES hardware.  This interview also features some of Jeff's greatest hits during the 16-bit era.  NOTE: Yes, The Legacy Music Hour is aware that they neglected to ask about the basketball games Jeff worked on.  ANOTHER NOTE: The Legacy Music Hour did not play a track from NHL 96, because it was later discovered that Jeff only composed music for the PC version, and not the Genesis or SNES versions.  Full track listing below.
