Akari Kaida: Opening the Gate
Four listens for this one. I struggled a fair bit more than I thought I would. The song is short – it is pretty much just a brief introductory piece – but I thought I’d be able to get a … Continue reading

Hiroki Kikuta: Angel’s Fear
Seiken Densetsu 3 has some pretty heavy tracks to its soundtrack that work really well when used, such as this one. I was trying to get across what I felt the imagery was when divorced from its gameplay-related context and … Continue reading

Noriko Matsueda and Takahito Eguchi: Kuon: Memories of Waves and Light

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

Yasunori Mitsuda: Chronopolis
Two listens for this one. I wanted to write about this song for a little while, but I probably should’ve done it in the morning when I’d be less tired than I am now. I feel I should’ve given this … Continue reading

Nobuo Uematsu: Another Nightmare
I thought this was going to be more difficult to write but I had an easy time. Three listens and focused on describing the song. Sort of did alright. Could’ve done better, but it was a bit of a fight … Continue reading

Midnight Oil: Antarctica
Midnight Oil are a band that I’m quite fond of. I’ve listened to them not anywhere near as much as I’d like, but perhaps more than I believe. “Antarctica” is a song I listened to quite a lot whilst I … Continue reading

I just spent far, far too long whittling down twenty-something hours of music to somewhere fifteen minutes shy of seven hours to create a playlist of calm(ish) music in order to write to this morning. I think it can be … Continue reading
