Yoshino Aoki: Prayer
This one was one I found tough. It might be due to how late in the evening it currently is, but for whatever reason it took three listens for me to get this out. Probably was thinking too much. Anyway, … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: The Archylte Steppe
When I started doing this one I thought I’d have an easy go with rambling on. In now having just done the writing I feel that that was not quite the case. I think I stumbled a bit as I … 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
King Crimson: The Sheltering Sky
This was written over one listen. I mostly wanted to focus on describing the song and I kind of did that, but I don’t think it makes for interesting writing. King Crimson’s “The Sheltering Sky” is from Discipline. I hope … Continue reading

Motoi Sakuraba: The Second Book
This was written over two listens. With this one I tried less to describe the song and more to capture the imagery of the song. It kind of worked. I think I could’ve done a better job, but I still … Continue reading

Duster: Moon Age
This one was written over three listens. I went more for imagery with this one. It was slow starting, but I picked up speed and wrote most of this quite quickly. I probably could’ve gone for something a bit more … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: The Boundless Ocean
Almost feel like I’m writing more bad poetry with this one. Six listens. I probably could’ve gotten more out of this one, but it’s a rather short tune. Nobuo Uematsu’s () “The Boundless Ocean” (“果てしなき大海原”) is from the soundtrack for … Continue reading

Tarô Iwashiro: Breath of Fire IV ~ Opening Animation
This was written over four, though maybe five listens. There were some pauses, though the song is quite short. I tried to strike a balance between imagery I was getting and what was happening in the song. The imagery was … Continue reading

Shadow Over Land
This photo was taken during my recent drive from Melbourne to Sydney. I was somewhere near Berremangra when the sun was setting and so I took what I felt was the best opportunity to stop and get photos of the … Continue reading

Melbourne CBD During Sunset
Here are three photos of Melbourne CBD during sunset. I like how these photos almost show the passage of time, albeit roughly. I also like the variation in colour. It makes the sunset’s light feel as though it’s concentrated only … Continue reading
