Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Sochen Cave Palace

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Stupidity Hole

One listen, and I wasn’t sure as to what to go for here. Once more I was thinking about where the song is used and it sort of works, but I was thinking too much. The writing is rigid and … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Destiny

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Stupidity Hole

One listen, and with this one I don’t know what was going on. I’m pretty familiar with the game and so I ended up channeling where I remember this piece of music being used, though I strongly suspect I was … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Salikawood

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Trying to describe what was happening with the instruments was what my mind decided was the way to go here, and in a way I think it helped. Had I written more freely, I think I wouldn’t have … Continue reading →

Hayato Matsuo: Seeking Power

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Stupidity Hole

Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Tomb of Raithwall

Posted on December 10, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. I wanted to try and pull out the “stuffiness” of the song, or rather that’s what was coming to me, but I didn’t feel right putting that forward, so I didn’t, or rather tried not to overtly state … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: Abandoning Power

Posted on December 8, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen, and to be honest I thought I’d have more to say. It’s a short piece but a rich one, but not much came forward. Happens. Hitoshi Sakimoto’s (崎元 仁) “Abandoning Power” (“捨て去りし力”) is from the soundtrack for Final … Continue reading →

Hitoshi Sakimoto: The Dalmasca Estersand

Posted on December 4, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. I think I’ve thought about doing this one before and didn’t. Decided to give it a go a few days ago, and now have done it, and I’m not sure what to make of what I wrote. Could … Continue reading →

Posted on December 2, 2024 by Stupidity Hole

One listen. Heard this song for the first time in a while a few days ago. Onto the list of things I wanted to write about very soon after. Threw myself in and I think I got a little stuck, … Continue reading →
