Octobre 2026 - Le meilleur de la VGM 🦇02 Nov 202601:07:47

Ils ont fait les choses bien cette année. À l'occasion du spooky month, l'actualité est plus terrifiante que jamais. J'espère que tout le monde se porte bien, du moins aussi bien que possible malgré les circonstances. Puisse cette nouvelle heure de découvertes musicales vous permettre de vous évader un petit peu en attendant des lendemains plus calmes.


Les 30 derniers jours ont été particulièrement riches en nouveautés, et je suis notamment très fier d'avoir, enfin, publié un article qui me tient très à cœur et sur lequel j'ai travaillé des mois. C'est un papier qui s'intéresse à la situation délicate dans laquelle se trouvent les compositeurs et compositrices de musique de jeux vidéo, dans un contexte où les portes de l'industrie se ferment au gré des licenciements en cascade. Vous y trouverez des témoignages de plusieurs compositeur·ices, comme Alpha Chrome Yayo (Promise Mascot Agency), Thomas Brunet (Chants of Sennaar), Gina Loughlin (Wax Heads), ou encore le tout fraîchement primé Nicolas Garcia (Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss).

Août 2026 - Le meilleur de la VGM 🦊31 Aug 202601:05:54

Il a filé à une vitesse cet été. Oui, n'en déplaise aux plus obtu·es, septembre n'est pas un mois d'été. C'est ✨la rentrée✨… et accessoirement l'un des mois les plus chargés de l'année pour les sorties jeux vidéo. Je ne vous cache pas que j'appréhende un peu l'avalanche de titres qui nous attend, même si je suis aussi très enthousiaste de mettre les pattes sur The Blood of Dawnwalker, Silent Hill Townfall et, surtout, CONTROL Resonant.


N'empêche que je ne me suis pas ennuyé en août, et que je suis trop content de laisser la parole ce mois-ci à l'attachée de presse Fanny Moreaux dans les cartes blanches, qui m'a furieusement donné envie de me lancer, enfin, dans Ace Attorney. Enfin, c'est probablement pas en septembre que je m'y collerai, vu le programme…


J'espère que cette nouvelle sélection vous plaira, et que vous entamerez donc la rentrée sous de bons auspices. Bon courage à toutes et tous 💜

Juillet 2026 - Le meilleur de la VGM 🚃01 Aug 202601:01:14

Doux amer, ce mois de juillet. Partagé entre de grandes joies, comme celle de la sortie de l'OST de 1000xRESIST, de Denshattack!, qui sont évidemment au menu de ce nouveau podcast, et ce qui est déjà le meilleur mois de fréquentation pour mon site nowplaying.cool, lancé en avril dernier. Je vous suis vraiment très reconnaissant d'être au rendez-vous et de me donner du courage pour couvrir l'actu de la VGM au quotidien.


C'est d'autant plus important que j'apprenais récemment qu'en septembre, l'un de mes plus gros clients ferme le robinet, ce qui va me priver d'un bon 50% de mes revenus mensuels (ça c'est pour la partie moins cool de juillet).


Plus que jamais : si vous pouvez vous permettre un abonnement sur Patreon, c'est très apprécié. En plus, je suis désormais éligible aux abonnements annuels, pensez-y 👀

Juin 2026 - Le meilleur de la VGM 🕶️01 Jul 202601:11:24

Pardonnez le petit retard sur la publication, je vous avoue que j'étais assez peu motivé à enregistrer sous 35ºC dans mon bureau !


J'espère sincèrement que la canicule ne vous a pas trop éprouvé, ou qu'au moins vous aurez pu trouver un peu de réconfort dans les jeux vidéo et la musique ! J'ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à fabriquer cette nouvelle sélection, qui s'étale grosso modo de la fin mai à la mi-juin.


Beaucoup de belles nouveautés, mais aussi des retours inattendus et du teasing enthousiasmant pour des futurs bangers à venir… Bonne écoute !


Comme dit dans le podcast, j'ai participé au dernier numéro du podcast GAMEHIFI de moonflowersoft sur la radio StationStation.fr. La diffusion a eu lieu ce vendredi 26 juin, et vous pouvez retrouver le replay à cette adresse !

Avril 2026 - Le meilleur de la VGM 🐸01 May 202601:00:00

Il est passé à 2000 à l'heure ce mois d'avril. J'avoue que je n'avais pas forcément bien anticipé l'augmentation substantielle de ma charge de travail avec le lancement de mon site nowplaying.cool.


Les journées me paraissent plus courtes que jamais, alors que je publie en moyenne 4 articles par jour en plus de ma journée de travail. Ne vous prenez pas, je fais ça avec un grand plaisir et une passion intacte. En tout cas, j'ai encore eu largement le choix parmi les morceaux que je m'étais mis de côté pour ce nouvel épisode de mon podcast. Je ne suis pas peu fier : la mixtape d'avril dure 1h00, tout pile.


Profitez-en bien, j'espère qu'elle vous permettra de découvrir plein de chouettes nouveautés. Je vous donne rendez-vous dans quelques jours pour une petite annonce concernant cette fois les abonnés au tier 3 du Patreon 👀

Un grand, grand merci pour l'accueil chaleureux que vous avez réservé à la nouvelle formule de NOWPLAYING le mois dernier.

Janvier 2026 - Le meilleur de la VGM 🥊02 Feb 202601:01:38

Ouuuh, que c'est excitant. En 2026, tout ça devient sérieux, moi je vous le dis. En plus de l'enrichissement de mon site NWPL.ING, j'ai décidé de mener une refonte du format mixtape. Le concept reste le même : braquer le projecteur sur le meilleur de la VGM des 30 derniers jours. Sauf que maintenant… il parle !


NOWPLAYING devient un un "vrai" podcast, dans lequel je prends la parole pour vous parler des morceaux que je choisis. Ne m'en tenez pas trop rigueur pour cet épisode 0. Je suis encore très couillon, pas hyper à l'aise, et je suis sûr que je peux faire plein de choses pour améliorer la captation audio. Mais, j'en suis content moi, de cette première.


C'est un bon exercice pour moi, à plus d'un titre. D'abord parce que je souhaite incarner un peu plus mon "média", et aussi parce que ça me donne une excuse d'aller me renseigner un peu plus sur les morceaux que je choisis de vous passer. Enfin, c'est une bouffée d'air frais qui va me sortir du cadre un peu trop strict que je m'étais imposé dans la sélection des tracks. Bref, tout le monde y gagne… je crois !


J'espère que cette nouvelle formule vous plaira. Prenez quelques secondes pour me dire ce que vous en avez pensé en commentaires ! D'avance, un grand merci.

I got (well) ahead of schedule this month, for the simple and very good reason that I’m taking a few days off this week! Don’t be too mad at me for not including any tracks from the gorgeous Sword of the Sea OST though.

January 2024 → Best Video Game Music 🐬02 Feb 202400:39:21

Here. We. Are. The very first VGM selection of 2024 and, believe me, it's gonna be a blast!


What's great about January is that there are very few AAA games coming out, leaving more space for smaller releases to shine. The last few weeks have been a good example of that, with only Tekken 8 and Like a dragon: Infinite Wealth to shake things up a bit.


I promise you'll hear some things in this mixtape you've never heard in a video game before. So let's dive in!

This pilot episode aims to put the new format to the test. Let's see how it goes!


Every month, I listen to every single Video Game Music (VGM) track that pops up on streaming services and craft a free mixtape out of my favorites. Sometimes, it's from a game that has just hit the shelves, and other times, it's from games that have just released their soundtracks online. Start discovering new artists and new games with NOWPLAYING!
