Welcome to another wonderful episode of “On Stage Now”.
Our special guest The Messenger, host of A VGM Journey, introduces us to our featured musician this month: Qumu. Qumu has been creating covers and remixes of video game music for ten years, as well as original music. Many of the covers and remixes include games from the Pokemon series, The Legend of Zelda series, Sonic, Banjo-Kazooie, and Crash Bandicoot. Qumu’s original music are a delight to listen, even if they sound like they should be from a video game.
Prepare to listen to the covers and remixes of Qumu, thanks to The Messenger carefully choosing and curating a list of tracks that is sure to leave you feeling uplifted.
