Ep 22: Ukuleles, Dank Beats, and Composing Under Constraints (Daniel Koestner)
Daniel Koestner is a newcomer to the game audio space, but his style draws influences from some unusual places and culminates in a sound unlike anything else.
He composed the soundtrack to the lovable indie game, Donut County. The playful vibe of his music sends up folk artists like Sufjan Stevens and Beirut with the rhythms of lo-fi hip-hop and producers like J. Dilla.
He shared some really valuable info on how he's gotten gigs by going above and beyond with clients, the details of his creative process, and his self-imposed constraints (like insisting on making his own samples).
I highly recommend checking out the Donut County OST for some succulent jams. You can find it on Spotify, iTunes, or Youtube.
Enjoy the conversation!
