Our last RTG episode spotlighted Gina Nelson, lead artist on the new mobile game Dragon's Watch. During our chat, Gina discussed what the design team was looking for when it came to the theme music for the game - they really wanted to music to be more than just 'background noise', but an enriching aspect of the game.As it happens, Gina's father, Carlo Mombelli, is a South African bassist, composer, and educator - she suggested that he submit some samples to the game design team and they loved what they heard. Gina also gave some insight on Carlo's history, which sounded incredible.We reached out to Johannesburg based Carlo, and had an incredibly entertaining discussion about his path to musical geekdom. As a quick example - as I record this intro, the largely self-taught Carlo is currently in Bern, Switzerland, where he's performing in a series of concerts.Carlo was incredibly gracious with his time and we chatted about many things including how he fell in love with the bass guitar, how he created the soundtrack to Dragon's Watch with acoustic instruments (sometimes, custom made for the sound), and how he got his first performance gig - singing at a restaurant as the lead-in entertainer for one of South Africa's well known exotic dancers.
