Margins: Things Fall Apart
One listen for this one. I tried writing about this song a few hours ago and I couldn’t get it to work. I was stuck on the start and I was finding difficulty in getting the first words out. Came … Continue reading

Margins: Open
One listen for this song. I felt a bit of a struggle in writing this, but it came pretty quickly. This one I’m kind of content with. I feel I could’ve gone into much more detail, but then it would … Continue reading
Gore Tech: Part I: Vibex Divide
This was written over one listen. I restarted the opening seconds a few times to work out what the opening sound was, but other than that this was mostly pretty straightforward to write. I don’t think I switched off enough, … Continue reading
Grün: Angry Bees
One listen for this one. I was hoping to get imagery more than anything else, but I didn’t quite get it and described the song a little too much I think. It’s an instrumental song which I feel is always … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: Final Fantasy XIII-2 Overture
One listen for this one. I haven’t done much, if any writing today and wanted to capture something. This describes the song well enough, but also doesn’t give much of an idea as to how it sounds and progresses. Masashi … Continue reading

Pat Metheny: America Undefined
This was written over one listen. I was hoping for more imagery but that isn’t what came forward. I think this gives a vague idea of how the song goes but there’s not much more to say. Pat Metheny’s “America … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: Mysteries Abound
This was written over two listens. I was aiming to talk more about imagery but that didn’t quite come through. I think I slipped into review mode once more. That said, I think I did an acceptable job in terms … Continue reading

Junya Nakano: The Summoning
This was written over six listens. “The Summoning” is quite short, but also quite complete in its composition. It gets across what it needs to and does so without wasting a moment. When I first started I wasn’t sure as … Continue reading

Josh Johnson: Nerf Day
One listen for this one. I ended up going for describing the song more than going for any imagery and I’m not sure why. I was getting a space-like feel at the start and I didn’t run with it; something … Continue reading
Tadayoshi Makino: Village on the Sea, Moga
Two listens for this one. I was mostly looking to write about imagery and some of that came through, but I feel as though I forced myself too much. Tadayoshi Makino’s (牧野 忠義) “Village on the Sea, Moga” (“海上の村、モガ”) is … Continue reading
