Masaharu Iwata: Crypt Maze Theme
One listen. Struggled a bit with this one. It’s a somewhat singular, yet changing piece and I didn’t do enough to capture what was going on. Masaharu Iwata’s (岩田匡治) “Crypt Maze Theme” is from Evolution: The World of Sacred Device. … Continue reading

Go Ichinose: Asperita City
One listen. So this has some similarity to the other introductory town themes the Pokémon games uses, and either that’s a limitation on my part, or their composers have the feel and flow’s effectiveness down to a T. Anyway, I … Continue reading

Shota Kageyama: Nuvema Town
Two listens for this one. I was caught off guard by the shortness of the loop on this one, and I’m not sure if I got past that enough. Ended up with something that feels a bit split apart, with … Continue reading
Hitomi Sato: Eterna Forest
One listen. For this particular soundtrack album, not all the songs loop, so there’s a bit more pressure to get things across. I had an idea of some of the things I wanted to touch upon when going into this … Continue reading

Go Ichinose: Route 119
One listen. There probably was a better way to write about this one, but… I don’t know. I’m feeling a lack of sleep creep up upon me today, and it’s starting to hit hard. I think I did alright. I … Continue reading

Go Ichinose: Littleroot Town
One listen. So Pokémon’s Hoenn region is my favourite region by far. Part of that has to do with all the water, which, having studied marine science, I guess makes sense. As such, the games centred around that region are … Continue reading

Gigantium – Draft
Another rough draft, but this one is for the next thing that I’ll publish on From Somewhere out the Back. After getting dumped, the piece on “Neal and Jack and Me” seemed to gain a new context by shaping the … Continue reading
Go Ichinose: Route 216 (Day)
One listen. I wasn’t going to do any more music today, but I heard this song for the first time in a while and it sort of swept me up. I did struggle a bit, however, and I’m not sure … Continue reading

Shota Kageyama: Unwavering Emotions
One listen. I was expecting to describe the music as it was happening more than anything. I’m fairly certain I captured something about it quite well. At the least, I do like what I wrote. Shota Kageyama’s (景山将太) “Unwavering Emotions” … Continue reading

Go Ichinose: Pokémon League (Day)
One listen, though with a restart early on. The reason being was that I was thinking far, far too much about what to convey. Let go a little and the words came forward, and this became easier to write. So … Continue reading
