Nobuo Uematsu: Main Theme of Final Fantasy VII
This was written over one listen. I didn’t overthink what I was writing; just went into it and mostly described some of what was happening in the song. Probably could’ve written more, but I’m content with the result. Nobuo Uematsu’s … Continue reading

Masashi Hamauzu: Wandering Flame
This was written over four listens. Initially I was just kind of “sketching” imagery and looking to go for a sense of balance between imagery and sound description. Instead of that I ended up giving a very, very rough idea … Continue reading

Principles of Geometry: Hauntitled
This was written over four listens. I didn’t aim for anything other than writing about the song. Didn’t try to lean toward description of what was happening or any imagery or suggested emotion and just let stuff come forward. A … Continue reading

Eriko Imura: Untamed Heart
This was written over four listens, though there was very little done over the first and fourth. I was mostly aiming to describe the song itself and not imagery and I think I did alright with most of that. Eriko … Continue reading
Yoko Kanno: Pulse
This was written over three listens. I’m not sure as to if I was aiming for anything in particular or not. Regardless, I feel that in some parts this is awkward, whereas others it’s smooth. Yoko Kanno’s (菅野 よう子) “Pulse” … Continue reading

Masanori Hikichi and Miyoko Kobayashi: The Way Home
This was written over two listens. The second had a fair bit of pausing which was unnecessary as it was nothing a third listen couldn’t have helped with. I mostly wanted to focus on describing the song rather than getting … Continue reading

HOME: Resonance
This one was written over three listens. “Resonance” is a song I’m familiar with but I found this easier to write than some of the other songs I’ve written about. With this I was mostly looking to describe what was … Continue reading
Mitsuto Suzuki: Shadow of Valhalla
This was written over two listens. I may have heard the song before last night, but I’m not entirely certain. Regardless, I wasn’t too familiar with the song when I started writing about it; something I think was a good … 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

Motoi Sakuraba: The First Book
This was quick and written over one listen, though with a few early restarts so I could keep some pace going. Then I remembered that the song repeats itself. I found it somewhat-difficult to write about this song. Perhaps it’s … Continue reading
