About Cue & A: Composers Unplugged:
Kevin Riepl & Cris Velasco sit and chat about nothing and everything. The purpose of this podcast is to have conversations about all aspects of our experience in the music, film, tv and game industries. We hope to use this to answer some questions we often get asked through our websites and social media accounts. There is no surefire way to make it in these industries, so providing our humble opinions and sharing our experiences, we hope these videos will help others.
