Go Ichinose: Lilycove City
One listen. I wanted to draw more on the imagery of where this song is used as it’s quite fitting. An area that has some bustle, but also quite calm. A calm bustle, if you will. Didn’t quite come out … Continue reading

Shota Kageyama: Soaring Illusions
One listen. I feel the start was strong, or at least had the potential to be strong and then I dropped the ball. I wrote about the last piece and this one together as they both represent the same thing, … Continue reading
Shota Kageyama: Soaring Dreams
One listen. Not sure what I was going for here, and not sure if it worked. Fun bit of writing though. Shota Kageyama’s (景山将太) “Soaring Dreams” (“天翔ける夢”) is from Nintendo 3DS Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Super Music Complete, … Continue reading
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
