Masashi Hamauzu: The Gapra Whitewood

Mark Morgan: Dream Town
This is another one where I had an idea going. I was hoping for it to be interwoven rather than dominant, but alas. The writing here is pretty lacking I feel. I think there’s something here but I don’t capitalise … 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

Bill Laswell: Echo
This was written over one listen. I’m not sure what I was going for, but I know that I was trying to capture the song in written form. Surprising I know. This is a slow song and as such I … Continue reading

Five-Hundred Word Challenge 856: Something Calm
The sound of something calm moves over everything and, much like a comforting blanket, it is comforting. Of course there are the shrill screams of terror that emanate from somewhere, but they soon die off and a sense of relaxation … Continue reading
Masashi Hamauzu: Besaid

Five-Hundred Word Challenge 768: Grumbling, Grouchiness
Grumbling, grouchiness and more grumbling: These are the targets for today. It’s a low bar. Anyway, these are the targets. I need to stomp my feet at least twice and take care of a few other things whilst stomping my … Continue reading
Five-Hundred Word Challenge 730: Describing Songs
Chimes. Something soft. Muted. Close, yet seemingly distant. Hidden behind something. Hidden away. Not completely hidden, but still not entirely there. The sounds skirt the edges of hearing; they are there, they are faint but they are distinct. They draw … Continue reading
