Yasunori Mitsuda: Secret of the Forest
One listen for this one. I thought I was going to get a fair bit more out and interweave more imagery related to forests, but I did not and instead the result feels really brief. Yasunori Mitsuda’s (光田 康典) “Secret … 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
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

Hiroki Kikuta: Where Angel Fear to Tread
This was written over two listens. I wrote about this one as I kind of wanted to compare it to the opening track for Secret of Mana. They’re similar tracks in terms of mood, but how they carry themselves is … Continue reading

Akari Kaida and Yoshino Aoki: Sandy Sound
One listen for this one. I think I was looking to try and capture a sense of scene, but I don’t quite think I pulled it off if I am to be honest. I think there’s a description of the … Continue reading

Mouse on the Keys: Stars Down
Written over one listen. I think I was mostly just looking to capture the song as it progressed but I didn’t think too much about the approach which may have been a good thing. I’m really not sure. The song … Continue reading
