Music Archive Review: Anthelion 2 Title

March 8, 2010

While going through my Music Archive, I decided to add some descriptions for each song, how it came about, what the style is, and the overall composition. But geez, there’s a lot of them. Like over 130 songs. So that would take a crap-load of time.
I figure if I do a post about a song [...]

The Incredible Shrinking Studio: Complete

January 24, 2010

I promised some pics of the Incredible Shrinking Studio in it’s most recent carnation (in my tiny apartment in Tokyo) a while back. Since I’ve been working on a bunch of music for a super secret project recently, I was able to snap a few pics while I had it set up.
So that’s how it [...]

Behind the Music: Arvale: Treasure of Memories Ep. 1

January 18, 2010

Many people are curious how the creative process goes when I write music. So I recorded a bunch of clips while I was writing the music for Arvale: Treasure of Memories.

The Incredible Shrinking Studio, Part 5: Mimo Mini Monitor

January 11, 2010

Continuing the Incredible Shrinking Studio series… I needed a little more screen real estate.
While I’m quite used to using Digital Performer on one monitor now, I really wish I could have just a small extra monitor where I could tweak plugins while composing and mixing.

You want the Lumberjack song from Catchy Cadence (the one where I sing like a Drunk Disney Character)? You Bet. Looking for the Arvale Title Piano Music? Have that too. What about the catchy [...]

New Arvale Castle Music

October 13, 2009
castle

I’ve just finished the final music for the new Arvale game and I’m damn proud of it.
The original castle music from Arvale 1 is a classic and really opens up the feel of the game when you start out in Entoque Castle. Since the new Arvale will be starting from the same castle, I wanted [...]

New Arvale Town Music

October 9, 2009
village

I have a confession. I really, really, really like RPG town music. Seriously. Town/Village music tops my list for all music in any RPG. Perhaps it is because of the longer themes and many melodies since the music will last longer while the player is walking around town and having conversations with other characters.

New Arvale Boss Music

October 8, 2009

I just finished the new Arvale Boss theme and I love Boss music. The tense, upbeat, scared-to-death, but still rockin’ out feeling you get when fighting a boss leads to some kick ass music which can span (and bend) all genres. Or perhaps because I just have a certain fondness for church organs and diminished [...]
