Wake up besties, new ND Music Playlist just dropped 🔍✨

[kleptonancydrew]

A song from CLK came on and one of my kids was like “this sounds like the Great Depression”. I mean, he wasn’t wrong and I told him so. 

So fun fact: You know how video game music is supposed to help people focus? Yeah, so like, I play Nancy Drew music compilations while my students are working in class. It makes me happy, they get music, and there is some subconscious encouragement to work going on for them.

The song is "His Eyes" by Pseudo Echo

Shoutout to @papenniesandbentoboxes and Nancy Drew Walkthroughs and GoobaandJetpack for my fav ND music mixes on YouTube.

May the Lord bless and keep the people who create Nancy Drew game soundtrack playlists on YouTube.

If I got a successful YouTube channel making reviews, I too would give my father a 38 hour video segment to talk about his special interest media.

I was on a zoom call with him last year and yeah he basically said it was cost cutting reasons (possibly with the new CEO? I can’t remember exactly). But while he said his departure from the games left a bad taste in his mouth, he really enjoyed writing for the games, and he would be happy to write for the games again. He said it was a great experience getting to chat to the developers and he got detailed descriptions of the types of music they wanted for the game, which you can really tell because so much of the music is sooo good.

Also I’m pretty sure to answer the original question Alibi in Ashes was the last one he wrote music for (though I haven’t checked this so I could be misremembering)

When did Kevin stop writing music for her?

I have no idea why Kevin Manthei stopped creating music for the games, though I’ve tried to investigate why he no longer works with HER.

Does anyone have any info about this though?

(Also, does anyone know which game was the last one he composed? Cause according to the credits for the music from WAC, it looks like “Somatone Interactive Studios” wrote the music, but this forum post explains that CAP must have been the last game that Kevin worked on, and that ”Thomas Regin, North By Sound Audio Productions” was responsible for the soundtracks for TMB and DED at the very least.)

So I don’t know if that means that he took some time off between games before ultimately no longer working with HER. I’m sure this is super easy to find out if you just check out the credits for every game, but I just don’t have the time for that right now, haha.
