NSF Tech Grindster Yatagarasu has a extremely in-depth itnerview on  the No Funeral Blog. In it he talks about his methodology behind his works, including the following nugget:

No Funeral: What role did video games play in the development of the band?

Chris Yatagarasu: I have this fascination with the old NES and Commodore programmers. The idea of creating something people want to spend time with using only 32 kb of memory, it fills me with awe and joy. That’s what I want to do – to make something interesting out of very little. In this case, it’s a stack of obsolete, consumer electronics. Trash to some, but refashioned to do something new. Also I still get totally inspired by game music – namely that by Tim Folin, Martin Galway, Ramiro Vaco, Genesis games and Konami NES stuff.

Also the inteview gives a link for his newest release “Lobster Mage“. You can get more info on his myspace, and check him out on his East Coast U.S Tour.
