Introducing: Twenty Thousand Hertz - Minecraft

This week we are excited to introduce you to one of our favorite podcasts being made today, Twenty Thousand Hertz, a family-friendly podcast that tells the stories behind the world's most recognizable and interesting sounds. And this episode features something we can all love... Minecraft.

Since its official release in 2011, Minecraft has grown from a small, experimental indie game into the best-selling video game of all time. Today, the game's haunting music and quirky sound effects are just as iconic as its blocky visuals. In this episode, composer and sound designer Daniel Rosenfeld (also known as C418) unpacks how he created the original music and sounds for the game.

Your guide on this sonic journey is Dallas Taylor, a sound expert who's been featured in The New York Times, NPR, and is a Ted Mainstage speaker.

This episode was written and produced by Leila Battison.
