Peter McConnell (Psychonauts 2), Jimi Hendrix & Ivan Tcherepnin on CrossFade – Send Questions & Songs! (Patreon)

This week on CrossFade, composer Peter McConnell (Psychonauts 1+2, the Sly Cooper franchise, Grim Fandango, Escape From Monkey Island, and more) is discussing Jimi Hendrix and experimental composer (and Peter’s mentor) Ivan Tcherepnin! We’re recording this episode early, so leave a question and song for our guest and host below by the end of the day Thursday, Aug. 19!

From LucasArts to Double Fine to Sly Cooper, you’ve definitely heard Peter’s music, playing, editing, or influence across games for the last 30 years. He’ll be introducing Matt to the music of Ivan Tcherepnin, who taught Peter as a Harvard undergrad, specifically his “Flores Muscales” and “Five Songs” collections. Bringing up the pop end, Matt picked “Axis: Bold as Love,” the groundbreaking 1967 record by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, which highlights the R&B roots Hendrix would become famous for – and land the album on multiple all-time best lists.

This episode is bound to get experimental, electronic, and more than a little strange – join us for the ride by leaving a question and a song below!
