Tom Salta (Deathloop), Led Zeppelin & Peter Gabriel on CrossFade – Send Questions & Songs!
🕑 Added 2021-09-01 14:08:13 +0000 UTCThis week on CrossFade, Tom Salta (Deathloop, PUBG, Wolfenstein: Youngblood, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, and tons more) is discussing Led Zeppelin’s “Houses of the Holy” and ex-Genesis vocalist Peter Gabriel’s “So”! 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, Sept. 2!
What’s hard about writing for a game like Deathloop where you do the same thing over and over again? Which scores would Tom call his most iconic? Is “Houses of the Holy” the best Zeppelin album? Would Genesis have burned out if Peter Gabriel hadn’t stepped down? Ask us anything – we’ll do our best to get to every question in the time we have!
“What’s CrossFade,” you ask?

What has been your most creatively challenging project so far? My music pick today is from rapper Oxmo Puccino. He raps in French and is originally from Mali. Also his voice is shockingly similar to Biggie's https://open.spotify.com/track/0uJlnJm9O50C8K3kn4PIRw?si=4XRJK2cIRM-bX-V55PzwLg&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1

Do you fall asleep listening to music? If so, what songs or albums? As a kid, each of the following CDs would spend months upon months in the CD player at night before being rotated out. Tom Petty's Greatest Hits (the one that came with Mary Jane's Last Dance) American IV by Johnny Cash Leslie Gore's Greatest Hits. My song recommendation this episode is "Або Або" (pronounced abo abo) by Воплі Відоплясова (Vopli Vidoplyasova), one of the most legendary Ukrainian rock bands out there. https://open.spotify.com/track/6kOZpzK0XfGtKMb8ljDZPK?si=ffb98105949b41b5 or if you want to use the significantly faster live version: https://open.spotify.com/track/26TvOuM4hrmv39xp9i2fUA?si=425fa27d50f749dc

When creating music, how often do you worry that the piece you are working on will sound too similar to another piece out there, or even to a piece that you've created in the past? Has you ever experienced someone pointing out to you that a song you've composed sounds "exactly" like another piece? If so, what did that feel like? My song choice for this episode is "Ever-Widening Rings" from a very unique and unpredictable artist named Fire-Toolz https://open.spotify.com/track/27kQiokTkQDK7UjkLz327a?si=2b4b69a90bb8438b

What band from your teenage years that you liked that you think was a head of their time and would work today.

Could you sum up your life so far in four songs? They can be a song you love, or it can mark a touchstone in your life. *** My song this week is Christopher Lee- Act 1- King Of The Franks from Charlemagne https://open.spotify.com/track/2ufw4CqzJlWTJWNAK75vpo?si=ZNSmGnD7RGubpWS27nVDOg&utm_source=copy-link&dl_branch=1

So, I can just post a song for you to check out? Then I want to add "Be So Blue" by Deserta. A beautiful shoegaze/synthpop song from the best shoegaze album of 2020 that just not enough people are talking about. The whole album is awesome. Would love to hear your opinion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUlZNBk-hsg https://open.spotify.com/track/2S0X0b2bF7yJWeyDoHASpA
