In this episode, I hang out with the talented Chris Peranich. Chris is not just a guitarist and singer; he’s also a passionate Pokémon enthusiast. In this episode, he shares how video games fuel his songwriting, with a dream of having one of his songs play during an epic chase scene in a game.
As a freelance musician, Chris collaborates with artists like Ritt Momney, Daniel Nunnalee, and Noah Pope. He also leads an original instrumental band called Disappearing Teeth Trick, alongside Ian Shaw and Levi Bennett. This power trio draws inspiration from Rush, video games, and the world of instrumental music.
An avid Pokémon player, Chris loves hunting for shiny Pokémon—tune in to discover his all-time favorite! We also dive into the video game influences that shape his sound, including Super Smash Bros, The Last of Us, Outer Wilds, Guitar Hero 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, along with music legends like Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, and Foo Fighters. Enjoy!
